Hard To Believe This Face Is Computer Generated

 Uncanny Valley  

Computer graphics artist Chris Jones has created one very realistic looking head using the latest software.  His short video of the piece called 'Ed' must be seen.

Australian-based computer game artist Chris Jones has created one of the most realistic human head simulations we've seen.

One person commented on Sploid, "This IS the most realistic human face I've ever seen produced via computer; however it's so perfect that something still screams uncanny valley."

The head, 'Ed,' was made with Lightwave, Sculptris and Krita, and composited with Davinci Resolve Lite. Jones also created the music for the video.  It has been an ongoing work for the artist.

Jones has worked as a freelance children’s book illustrator, and following graduation with and industrial design degree, continued illustrating and animating before becoming a computer game artist at Beam Software (later to become Infogrames).

He left Infogrames in May 2000 to work full-time on a film called, The Passenger.

Soon this quality of avatar will be walking around in Second Life.
