The Day Has Come

February 2, 2012

In this important moment of my life, the day has come to end my skin research in order to take a new professional direction.

These last months I’ve learned a very important lesson: efforts towards rendering ultra realistic skin are futile if they are not coupled with HDR, high quality bloom, depth of field, film grain, tone mapping, ultra high quality models, parametrization maps, high quality shadow maps and a high quality antialiasing solution. If you fail on any of them, the illusion of looking at a real human will be broken. Specially on close-ups at 1080p, that is where the real skin rendering challenge is.

As some subtleties (like the film grain) are lost on the online version, I encourage to download the original blu-ray quality version below, to better appreciate the details and effects rendered (but be aware that you will need a powerful computer to play it). Please note that everything is rendered in real-time; in fact, you can also download a precompiled version of the demo (see below), which shows the shot sequence of the movie, from its beginning to its ending. The whole demo runs between 80 and 160 FPS, with an average of 112.5 FPS on my GeForce GTX 580. But it can be run in weaker configurations by using more modest settings.

The main idea behind the new separable SSS approach is that you can get very similar results to the full 12-pass approach ([Eon07]) by just using a regular two-pass setup. It can be done in screen space and is really really fast (you may want to see this related post). I hope to write something about this in the future. However, the source code of whole demo is readily available on GitHub.

For the demo I’ve used SMAA T2x, which does a very good job at dealing with shader aliasing while avoiding pre-resolve tone mapping. The demo shows the average/minimum/maximum frame rate after running the intro, which hopefully will make it useful for benchmarking GPU cards.

I think there is still a lot work to do. Probably the most important one will be rendering realistic facial hair. It will be my dream if my skin research helps to improve the rendering of humans in games; I truly believe that more realistic characters will inevitably lead to deeper storytelling, and more emotionally-driven games.

    DeUnde, it’s “The All Spark” from the “Transformers: The Score” soundtrack, composed by Steve Jablonsky.

    Rajesh, I was so focused on the skin that I didn’t bother with the eyelids. But yes, a lot of people noticed this problem! I’ll try to fix it and reupload the movie when I manage to get some free time. I’ve been researching skin for 4 years; this work only covers a part of it really.

    A possible correction :
    When you say you really need all those effects (bloom, blur and grain) to get a realistic skin, I guess it would be more correct to say that you still need those in order to hide imperfections in the current real time implementation, wouldn’t it be ?

    Actually, all those things hide unrealistic perfections. So using them is not cheating. Quite the contrary, in real life, all those things are very present, because we see the real world through imperfect hardware (and that includes our eyes). Bloom and blur occur whether you like it or not, since all imaging systems (from the most advanced camera to our eyes) are imperfect. For instance, they all have a point spread function that defines the degree (and shape) of the blur; ideally, the response to a point input would be a point in the sensor, but that is never the case, it’s more like a small circle (the smaller the sharper the image); if too much energy saturates one area of the sensor locally, this energy will bleed and spread to contiguous parts (bloom). The light needs to go through some atmosphere (scattering, meaning blur), and then when it enters the eye there’s all this liquid inside (more scattering, blur, bloom)… A standard CG image is too perfect by definition: none of these effects are modeled by default! So when you look at a CG image, it is usually too sharp, too clean, too perfect, exactly how it would be in a world without atmosphere as seen through perfect optical systems…

  28. Jorge Jimenez:
    February 6, 2012 at 9:17 pm

    Miguel, we use diffuse, normal, SSS, ambient occlusion, specular intensity, specular roughness and specular fresnel maps. The SSS map just controls the SSS strength (removing it on stubble and eyebrows for example).

    edwardh, good catch, thanks! The normal issue is a shadow bias problem. The shadow quality of the demo is not that good to be honest; unfortunately, I didn’t had time to implement a truly high quality approach.

    xtib, our dev team is actually Diego and me :-) (the model was obtained from Infinite Realities).

    Thanks all for the encouraging comments!

    First of all, I’d like to say that SSSS and your demo has blown my mind, it is incredible.

    But, all is not well. I tried to download and run the pre-compiled demo but it is apparently not a valid win32 program..? Is it just the fact i’m running 64bit windows? I would love to be able to see how my machine runs this level of fidelity!

    Here’s my reservation.

    The uncanny valley exists because of the cognitive dissonance between renders of humans LOOKING real but ACTING unreal. This will exacerbate the problem, as it will raise the bar on the level of animation work that is needed to keep up.

    Meaning no disrespect to your stellar work here, solving these kinds of technical problems is only half the battle, and I don’t hear a lot of people talking about how to make it easier for animators to create highly realistic animations efficiently, how to reduce game footprints etc.

  59. Jorge Jimenez:

    Really really very very impressive — those four years paid off big time!

    Especially the part under the jaw, with the facial hair being imperfectly shaven, as happens realistically, came out really great. The skin on his back, however, wasn’t smooth enough for me to accept it as real — it should have been less “goose-bumby”, I would say. But that doesn’t take anything away from the excellence of your work. Great job!

    “I truly believe that more realistic characters will inevitably lead to deeper storytelling, and more emotionally-driven games.”

    i admire your optimism… well… maybe just a bit ;)
    to quote “idiocracy”: “people wrote books and movies. movies that had stories, so you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting.”
    what is the ability of deep storytelling worth when there is no demand for it? or… when those emotions that game developers appeal to are just greed, prejudice, (national) pride, fear and rage?
    when i look at public “discourse” (not sure i would call the primitive ramblings on youtube and various comment sections on various websites “discourse”) and what sells well, it really seems like a race to the bottom to me.

    Wow, looks stunning! I had no idea we were this close to being able to render so life-like. Good luck with this.

    Awesome! I imagine that you created a face of a man because your objective was to create the digital human skin. Now, if I were you, would use a face of a woman to try to create a engine to render her hair! That way I believe your work will be practically done! Sorry my english! I hope I’ve help you!

    Really amazing stuff,
    I like your philosophy/Approach towards achieving realism in real-time graphics.I feel the game industry especially is in drastic need of such thinking. I agree that game characters lack “emotion” and focusing on that will evolve games into a more immersive experience…. good to know there are great minds out there in gamedev…
    Best of luck and hope to see lots more of your work,
    im sure it will be epic
    The future is near..

    Jorge.
    Simply amazing work. Thank you for making the exe downloadable. I will use it during my masterclass at an upcoming film festival. The topic is “merging CG with Reality in Film-making”

    Although the workshop is more geared towards advanced stereoscopic 3D film production (Hybrid cameras, Virtual S3D cinematography etc)… realism is when CG with, (and i
    m paraphrasing you)…”everyday imperfections” is what will make the Uncanny-Valley feeling disappear in tomorrows CG/Hybrid films.

    Thanks again for sharing your work. I will of-course mention your site and name during the workshop

    Regards
    Clyde

    addendum…

    OMG! No wonder. You were touched by the Amiga too :) I just read your About me.

    **sigh** only the Amiga makes it possible… (it created the truly talented souls out there)
