I knew it had to happen sometime, but actually seeing it comes as a shock - the most charming girl talk onscreen - and she is a motion cap CGI. She isn't real. If I hadn't known what to watch for I had assumes she is a real person.

Fun times ahead!

I'd love to see the making of this video. This is simply amazing, I'm showing it to everyone. Thanks Dagonweb!

From the article:

AMD last week released a new chip with a billion transistors that will be able to show off creations such as Emily by allowing a much greater number of computations per second. "If you're trying to process the graphics in a photo-realistic animation, in real-time, there's a lot of computation involved," said Raja Koduri, chief technlology officer in graphics at AMD.

He said that AMD's new chip - the Radeon HD 4870 X2 - was able to process 2.4 teraflops of information per second, meaning it had a capability similar to a computer that - only 12 years ago - would have filled a room. AMD's chip fits inside a standard PC. But he said that the line between what was real and what was rendered would not be blurred completely until 2020.
