Creepy animated woman follows you
Mikey 8 comments
While looking for a decent picture to replace the one Jaquie had used in her article (I caught that one in time!), I came across this which I found quite fascinating.
It uses Adobe Flash technology to render a almost realistic woman who follows and reacts to your mouse movements. The effect is both cute and creepy at the same time.
It was produced by MotionPortrait who from what I can tell are in the business of making interactive web based 3D models. Nice work.
...in response to this comment by Gina Squitieri. The textures would have been created from traditional photography, mapped onto polygons using a wireframe model.
