Disney Develops Machine Learning Tool to Create Realistic 3D Faces

With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that a lot of the 3D faces that you see are probably going to make you feel rather uncomfortably due to something called the uncanny valley. This is a phenomenon wherein if something looks very similar to us without being entirely accurate, it would bring feelings of terror or discomfort when we see them. As a result of the fact that this is the case, a lot of animation studios have struggled to create 3D faces that are as realistic as possible. This is why so few 3D movies feature human beings that look realistic rather than cartoonish, although recent developments made by Disney might just make this sort of thing less of an issue all in all. Disney isn't known for the kind of technological advancements it helps to facilitate, but it is important to note that the company has actually made a lot of breakthroughs in this regard.
