your modeling career is over....
yep, you're done. Computers do better than you models could ever do. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/5-comp … 2012-08-28 ;-) Sep 03 12 09:29 am Link INSANITY!!! technology is so bitchin'! Sep 03 12 09:38 am Link Ah! but how often does your computer give you a hug and a kiss on the cheek after a good shoot! Some things are priceless, for everything else there's CGI Sep 03 12 09:56 am Link Way more beautiful than me, gosh they're perfect. But I still beat 'em at facial expressions! Sep 03 12 12:07 pm Link Broken Doll wrote: CGI doesn't hold a candle to you.. Sep 03 12 12:10 pm Link They look dead in the eyes though. Human nature and relativity is one thing a computer will never be able to duplicate. Hopefully.

Sep 03 12 12:17 pm Link the auto makers move to CGI years ago... attended a seminar given by a leading commercial Detroit photog... his solution is simply moving into smaller markets... the future for all in our industry will likely be an endless cycle of finding new untapped clientele to generate a revenue stream... make technology work for you... embrace change...

Sep 03 12 12:45 pm Link I can see this. A lot of times I may illustrate product shots to better bring out over all detail. Once I get done, it can be hard to say if it's a photograph or an illustration. This is particularly true with automobile photography. With people cutting back on costs and digital illustration blurring the line between real and illustration..it's only a matter of time before it cuts into other areas. Sep 03 12 12:50 pm Link netmodel wrote: They sure got that pose down. Sep 03 12 08:21 pm Link In the not too distant future, many movies will be entirely CGI. Actors will be scanned and will then be relegated to delivering lines. Computer generated models will become more and more common. To think any differently is just naive. It sux, but it is the future. The good news is that I am old enough that it won't really affect me that much. But for you younger whipper-snappers, brush up on your computer skills. I am waiting to see my first "virtual wedding." Sep 03 12 08:28 pm Link VikyL wrote: I agree that they look dead in the eyes, even if the heads are human. If perfection is what is desired CGI is the way to go, but it seems kind of cold. Sep 03 12 08:41 pm Link I'm waiting for some new Humphrey Bogart movies!! Sep 03 12 08:49 pm Link So, instead of an Escort . . . . you get a TechSupport guy What's the difference . . . . they're both annoying KM Sep 03 12 08:50 pm Link Venessa M Baez wrote: Hmm. Sep 03 12 11:11 pm Link Misty R H wrote: You're welcome to think whatever you want about their facial expressions. They are, however, one of the only parts of the image that are not CGI. In criticizing them, you are criticizing the modeling ability of the live human models, not the CGI aspect at all. Sep 04 12 05:15 pm Link netmodel wrote: And so is your photography career. When models become obsolete, so do photographers. Sep 04 12 05:36 pm Link Both interesting and funny. I can certainly imagine a future when most of the industrial modeling and photography (advertising, product, even fashion) is gone and instead CGI rules. It wouldn't bother me at all, I'm only interested in the type of personal interaction photography that would still be around, marginalized just like it is today. Erotic feelings and interactions and images made from that inspiration have been around since the time of the cavemen. It's not stopping anytime soon. Sep 04 12 06:26 pm Link i got a hug from a one year old customer once. that was so sweet! Rays Fine Art wrote: Sep 04 12 06:35 pm Link Pssh... This was foretold in 1981. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082677/ We had PLENTY of time to change career choices. Sep 04 12 06:37 pm Link If your computer locks up prior to a virtual photo shoot, does that count as flaking? Just wondering what MM forums will be about in the future . . . Sep 04 12 06:46 pm Link Venessa M Baez wrote: Then Kristen Stewart's replacement is here! Her days as an actress are numbered. Sep 04 12 08:43 pm Link I think people on sites like Mm have nothing to worry about. Normal people will still want to get photographs of themself/kids/pets and photographers will still want to spend time trying out concepts/lighting with a real live person. Sep 04 12 09:00 pm Link Can I get a plus size version please... Nothing will EVER beat the feeling of that great shot of some real flesh and blood llama, the curve of her body, the look of her eye, the shape of her lips.. need I go on?.. Bahhh.. CGI, NO WAY!.. Sep 04 12 09:07 pm Link Takes away jobs for photographers too... Sep 04 12 09:09 pm Link The Grace Gabbana wrote: as it says...

The challenge is to bring that imperfection into the beauty as well. Sep 05 12 02:45 am Link Good Egg Productions wrote: Don't forget S1MONE with Al Pacino.
