The girl of someone elses dreams...
 |
Not sure how many of you folks are into 3D or SciFi but thought this might be at the very least something of interest. Seems William Gibson's book Idoru (Idol), is in a very odd way coming to look more like a prophecy of future events... take a look here. Not really sure what else to say... I mean I enjoy the creation of organic models but this is a tad bit obsessive IMHO. :cheesy:
Do it now? Nah...I'll do it later, when theres not enough time and I have no other choice.
Still not the real thing. 
It still has the touch of CGI that just makes me feel not as attracted as I would with a real person. Who knows, maybe there are people out there (tremendously horny geeks) that can make one as real as s1m0ne.

Mind you she is about 4 years old I think... 3D tech has grown leaps and bounds since then...

FeiFei is an add project in Japan, she sells soft drinks, computers, cloths, ect... she's 100% digital... and 100% unbeleivable. Take a look... sort of disturbing how close we're getting to making synthetic people.

...just noticed the thread moved, why? It has not much to do with Web Development or Web Design.

Reagrdless, as per my point with s1m0n3, that movie is all live action, storyline or not she is not a computer generated character, she is played by a real person, who does existe in flesh and blood. I think your missing what is being brought to the table here... have you ever read a William Gibson novel? :-|

I assume the book you mentioned has to do with your point. I have not read it. Nevertheless, I'm not disagreeing with you. I agree with your thoughts on our culture becoming more "synthesized." However, I was just giving you my thoughts on computer generated people, which you missed.
