Reminds me of something that a sunk startup i worked at 7 years ago tried (not my startup, not managed by me). Adding the support for ‘poser 3d’ content into package. The poser 3d basically is a porn renderer. It’s creepy as hell for some reason, but some people like it. Too bad it didn’t work out (that being said, touchscreen realtime porn… that just might work.
I don’t think its so much uncanny valley as plain bad art though. Crappy subsurface scattering = creepy skin, theres something wrong inside, and it shows through too much. No subsurface scattering = a lot of makeup. And there’s an odd convergence, now that everything is photoshopped more than ever before.
edit: Also i recall nvidia demo that was in realtime, and wasn’t this creepy.
