We present a technique for synthesizing the effects of skin microstructure deformation by anisotropically convolving a highresolution displacement map to match normal distribution changes in measured skin samples. We use a 10-micron resolution scanning technique to measure several in vivo skin samples as they are stretched and compressed in different directions, quantifying how stretching smooths the skin and compression makes it rougher. We tabulate the resulting surface normal distributions, and show that convolving a neutral skin microstructure displacement map with blurring and sharpening filters can mimic normal distribution changes and microstructure deformations. We implement the spatially-varying displacement map filtering on the GPU to interactively render the effects of dynamic microgeometry on animated faces obtained from high-resolution facial scans.

This is what they needed for Leia in Rogue One
Here's some help.
TOO DAMN SHINY. Why is CGI always so fucking shiny. Stop making it shiny. STOP. Even in the comparison photos it goes on and on about how great the skin texture is yet completely misses the fact that it's not half as shiny as the real photo. Ugh.
Won't be long till we see Kate Upton blowing John Holmes.
This is amazing, but how do I use this on my own projects??
Is it me or is this technique completely overlooked by 3D animation software developers ? I haven't seen any integration of it (maybe I'm wrong), and yet, it would put photorealism to a very different level and help cross the uncanny valley drastically. Am I wrong though ? Are similar techniques used ?
Really really good, but there are some small details that would make it more natural. For example at 3:49 "Too shiny" some facial areas aren't too much shining ( i understand that would not be easy to notice the details without too much glossiness), at 4:28 when the eye squeezes the skin around should go more "Red" from the pressure, at 5:05 when stretching the pores go too much shinny. Well those examples i gave are not the same on everyone's skin.
This is amazing! Now, – how do I do that in 3ds Max? 😉
no one likes your forehead its a hor 1:15
What is the purpose in this? Is this for gaming?
Incredible, unbelieveble, awsome!!!
I dream with a day where we can transfer anythng of real world to videogames…
I think to myself it will be like to play to be God!!! hehehehe
This is awesome 😀
one step further to animated porn
They gotta work on ears and eye lids better.
I have no words… just… what a time to be alive. <3
whats the practical use?
So..how do I do it? any links to tutorials, preferably Blender or Max?
i love it
So when we gonna get games like this
my huge problem on any CG software, it's the lack of control of the specularity, even with SSS it does'nt look natural enough, it's just too sharp and not natural, also for non organic surface, we must improved the spec and shadow algorythm with better physical based approach, and a control of softness and anysotropy, with this new study of microstructure normal map.
