Australian designer creates super-realistic CGI person

AN AUSTRALIAN designer has created a computer generated person that you will struggle to believe isn’t real.

IT’S hard to believe this CGI creation by Australian designer Chris Jones isn’t a real person. He calls his person Mr Head, or simply “Ed” for short, and his realism will freak you out.

Jones has been working on and off for the past few years to render a complete human body as accurately as possible, culminating in the creation of Mr Head. The latest video surrounds the creation of Mr Head’s left eye, the latest body part he has added to the model.

On top of Mr. Head, Jones has also created a Mr. Hand.

CGI technology has improved leaps and bounds in recent years, blurring the lines between what’s real and what’s not. One of the best examples comes from Captain America: The Winter Soldier, where the 31-year-old Hayley Atwell was transformed into an old lady.

Before.

After.
