Does anyone else notice that there's a black box over her right eye (under the hair)...messed up render? someone in the marketing dept. shoulda caught that. so sad...otherwise makes a great desktop wallpaper.

I´ve never noticed how smoke tends to form perfect lines below a smoker´s eye, interesting theory.

Hehe Just joking. user added image

Looks more like a rendering artifact though.

**edited** IF it´s a rendering, because that looks more like a pic to me.

i'm wondering if they rendered two layers, one for the face (i don't think her mouth/teeth look real), which they messed up and had a black box in, and then they tried to hide it by rendering a layer of hair...

I'm pretty sure that's a photograph... the smoke being the CG part of the pic.

I would think that if people were capable of that super extreme level of realism, we'd see it in other places than just the Maya startup images. I mean, if that stuff is supposed to be 3D, it blows Final Fantasy out of the water!

well if you take a good look at it, her facial features aren't all that distinct...not saying she's not friggin' hot, because she is...everything seems pretty well-rounded as though they just threw some nurbs patches together. her face is a little too well mirrored and her eyebrows look like they're fake.

Sorry, late post.

They are real.

I was at the last, ond only, 3December event here in MN, back in 2000, and the models were in a video they had playing all day.

The smoking girl is a real hottie tho user added image

good thing she's real (no chance for sex if she's digital)...that means somebody in marketing screwed up the photo somehow. wtf is with that black box? i guess that would explain why some of the other pictures look fake too.

Yeah, I asked them why they kept such a BLARING mistake on the image for the posters, and she said it was becuase the guy who comped-in the smoke over her face, accidentily flattened, and saved the Photoshop document, and he just didn't feel like going back and re-doing it.
