There's not really a TOO REALISTIC threshold, as you can always dial it down if that's not the style you're aiming for. The exciting objective of making realistic gameplay achievable is a few steps closer and something we'll likely see over the next few years as this sort of progress continues. Hats off to the UE devs

@THEcucufate 7 күн бұрын

Agreed. I'd rather get the ultra realism to be able to dial it down from there, any day over having to make something look more real with upscalers. Yes. Hats off to UE team.

открою вам анатомический секрет - что бы роботы не выглядели роботами, зрачки должны совершать очень быстрые движения(микро тряска), человеческий глаз это не замечает, но фокусировка на объектах заставляет глаз трястись с большой скоростью, что делает для нас глаз собеседника живым. При этом наш глаз считывает движения глаз собеседника и если этого всего нет, подкорка вам кромко кричит - перед вами киборг или труп.

People are quite wrong about this! It's NOT when characters look real in games and cartoons BUT when they look almost real but there is something that you cannot put your finger on or understand that is wrong so it's only slightly wrong, so they aren't either a depiction of a human OR either a human, when you enter the uncanny valley territory. A good example of graphics gone wrong is the new Dune game but a great example of when they are enough of a caricature, like in world of warcraft, that they look "good" or at least don't look weird. Look at the lord of the rings from director Ralph Bakshi movie where they recorded actual actors but then draw on them and how incredibly weird and uncanny it looks but it's not until you actually know the reason that you can put a finger on it.

I find them a bit too uncanny. While impressive, I don't think the tech is quite there yet. The Captain America vs Black Panther Trailer did pass the uncanny valley vibes for me though so there is real potential. I mostly prefer stylized realism. It can kind of bypass a lot of the awkward uncanny vibes. Even though it is nowhere near as realistic, I find Life is Strange True Colors characters almost just as convincing in some scenes.
