fxguide just posted a pretty extensive article about the state of the art in face rendering: "The Art of Digital Faces at ICT – Digital Emily to Digital Ira" and it has section about the NVIDIA Digital Ira/FaceWorks project I worked on.
We've actually made two different version of Digital Ira so far. The "super-duper" version that runs on a GTX Titan (which you can even download here if you happen to own one):
If you scroll down you might notice that I also did part of the Dawn demo that get's skewered at the beginning. <shrug> New and pretty becomes old and busted pretty fast with this stuff. 🙂
We also made a mobile version using the same data set, but with a simplified shading model. Mobile chips have come a long way since back in the day. Plus handwriting NEON assembly is fun.
It's not downloadable yet since there are no devices in the wild yet that could run it, but it went over pretty well at Siggraph so hopefully it makes it out there eventually.
