*walks back out the thread*

Uncanny valley is still years off from being fully eliminated. It was present in StarWars: Rogue One film with Princess Leiah and Tarkin.

Go back 20 years and I used to say: "I can't wait untill we can see the individual fingers on a character" and here we are today. I think we have progressed amazingly well to be honest.

Some of my relatives didn't initially realize Tarkin was fake... I'm curious if it would have been more successful had less of us been fully aware that it essentially HAD to be CGI.

 

But yeah, that "uncanny valley" is definitely a hard valley to cross; there's just something disturbing about something that's ALMOST fully human, but not quite, and for whatever reason we all seem to have subconscious radars sweeping constantly for that sort of thing.

I knew it was fake when I first saw it. But I tend to pay attention to those kinds of details.
It became even more obvious when those characters were talking, the facial animations didn't seem as "human" as they could be.

Big props to what they achieved though. And I look forward to where CGI goes in another decade.
