i dunno man... it doesnt look bad.... and i agree with your statement about photorealism... i don't see the point of photorealistic 3D stuff... mostly it pisses me off, why do people try so hard to create a photorealistic person when they could just take a photograph? I say that mostly about Final Fantasy the movie because they sure looked real, but they screwed up on the animating, they didnt look alive, they looked like the living dead Movements were in alot of places rigid and stuff... they coulda probably made the movie cheaper using real people and partial sets and lots of CG.... but then saying that, sometimes CG needs to look real, for so that you cant have a bloke in a film running around on a fake-looking cg world... unless it's TRON

anyways rambling over

I dont like the piece, but that's just the photoshopping, i think probably under the filter it would look nicer.
