The discussion centers around a highly advanced humanoid robot that exhibits remarkably lifelike facial movements and expressions, leading some participants to initially believe it was CGI. The conversation highlights the distinction between motion-captured performances and CGI, with participants questioning the robot's technology. The consensus acknowledges the robot's impressive realism, regardless of its underlying mechanics.
PREREQUISITESRobotics enthusiasts, AI researchers, filmmakers, and anyone interested in the intersection of technology and realism in robotics.
Really good CGI is typically motion-captured, so I'm not sure how to judge this. If it's just playing-back motion capture, then it isn't much different from really good CGI. Still looks cool though.ElliotSmith said:At first, I thought that this humanoid robot was just really good CGI, but it's actually real.
