Whoa, that's completely computer generated?

Yeah...they've come a long way from "Final Fantasy". They forced the super-geeks to NOT make perfection. The art of reality is in imperfection. God is in the details.

Now I'm beginning to wonder about the more illicit applications of such images :)

No shit, celeb porn is about to explode.

Celeb porn...too easy. Think really illicit...think Kiddie porn without actual kids involved. How will that affect the laws?

Hmmm...I feel a thread coming on.

That CGI is old. I've had it on my computer for at least a year now. The discussion of CGI movies has also been one of my favorites for a long time. It won't be long before the latest release can once again star Carey Grant or Elvis..... or the lovely Miss Monroe...:brow:

Well still images is one thing. They still need to get the extraordinarily complicated physics of human body motion down. We have a lot of muscles and other parts that work in tandem to make us move the way we do. the math needed to mimc this perfectly is daunting to say the least. a lot of whats been done has been mapping against moving humans as you probably already know.

Did you even see Final Fantasy? Sid's character designs easily encompasses those two examples you have put up in photorealistic CG modeling.

It already has. It is now perfectly legal to make, what would be considered Kiddie porn, as long as it is an animated medium....2d or 3d without any actual childern being used for references.

See the animatrix for an excellent example of precision CGI. They don't need math to do this because motion capturing makes the process a lot more realistic and cost effective. A lot of CGI today isn't very relative to precise human physics because it is animated off the head or from models who pose....not motion captured.

Programming the code to mimic motion of any species perfectly....even an insect is horribly complex.....humans is whole another story.

Am I missing a ruling somewhere? Ashcroft vs ACLU 2001 said that COPA wasn't in violation of the constitution. I haven't read teh entire findings, yet. That should apply.

The Supreme Court is also going to revisit the COPA laws, this term.

The Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to revisit the constitutionality of the Children's Online Protection Act, a controversial 1998 law aimed at protecting children from online pornography.
