I think I might have had this one before, but it's still damned impressive.

waaai, this is the nifty. at the end i was so waiting for them to make mona express great shock/a huge frown/somesuch :/

and surely this tech'll be converged with a future form of the Waseda-Docomo robot - then we won't have to wait for mimetic metal alloy to be invented before the terminators can lull us into a false sense of security before their deed is done.

Actually the faceGen stuff is pretty primitive compared to this stuff... The last time I'd checked you either had to generate a face by tweaking the (admittedly eigen vector based) sliders or by loading in a portait and frontal photo pair...

Still a cool piece of software though.

Oh, hai! Adam (from Absynth/R*) here. Hope I didn't bore ya with my rant at the club... Honestly, I'm not such a depressive git most of the time! :)

Having just read your last journal entry I reckon your outrage at the club was surprisingly muted. I hate office politics and Lionhead is, if not perfect, so much better than Rockstar. It makes me want to form a start up for disenfranchised developers. How their current carrot for a 15 year veteran can be a possibility of being made senior flabbergasts me. And I don't use that word lightly, it's hard to spell.

Well if you ever want to move hundreds of miles down south then I can put in a good word here, not that you'll need it. Let me know what you end up doing. My mail's mike at ducker dot org dot uk.
