Hello From the Nightmare Factory!

I really find this quest to make the most realistic-looking CG people possible rather puzzling. It can make for impressive tech demos, but when you need to mo-cap an actual person in order to get the desired effect, you're basically just making really expensive tracing paper. Hey, guess what computer geniuses, I've got something that can realistically capture the likeness of a person, and it's called a camera. DO NOT FEAR MY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY, FOR I HAVE COME TO YOUR EARTH TO SAVE YOU FROM YOURSELVES.

If you're reading the same RSS feeds as me, you've probably already seen this, but in case you haven't, here's the latest in creepy fake lady technology.
