Can you tell which half of this face is real, and which is CGI?

The eyebrows gave it away to me instantly

Same as smoke in movies, they haven't got it right yet.

Where can we go to find out the right answer then? The link says nothing.

I demand to be proved right.

You might want to adjust your monitor/eyes if you can't see nostril hair on the right hand side!

You're right that that's another give-away, though, as the hair on the left looks far more realistic.

Pffft, looks more like a cobweb, and the nostril is more obviously black.

I can't work this one out:

I say the right hand side is CGI. The hairs are all wrong. In the nose and on the eyebrows.

And the reflection in the eyes.

Looks like the right-hand side is the CGI. It's a self-portrait.
Here's a link to the artist's CGIhub images http://evilmaul.cghub.com/images/

This is incredibly impressive, as it runs in real-time on a regular laptop:

They never seem to get teeth and the inside of mouths right in these things and for some reason I find that really distracting.

Lips are by far the hardest thing to animate. There's about 20 individual muscles that directly affect the shape of the lips, and then there's the 3 degrees of freedom of the jaw bone on top. And their moist nature means they stick together and peel apart as they move. Horribly complicated.

 

[Lazy Llama]

That's the strange thing. They get the lips and jaw right, but the teeth look like they were made by a bad Lego builder with Madonna-size gaps between them and everything else inside the mouth is pitch black.

Look at these stills. Incredible.

It's the eyes they've yet to get right too, they always look dead.
