It's certainly impressive... nice sub surface scattering on the skin tone, and the bump-mapping on the eyeball really helps sell it.

If this is pre-rendered, it's a well-executed piece of animation with meticulous attention to detail. If it's real-time.... it's freaking amazing.

This is why I put it in the skilful channel! @Deano, would you not reconsider?

I was more impressed by the skin as well.

Quick! Someone CSI this image! Magnify, reverse, enhance, the image in the cornea and we'll know what that eye was looking at.

What resolution is reality? That seemed about right.

Resolution isn't really relevant. Standard def tv is more realistic than the latest video games even at 4k.

Pre rendered photo real cgi has been around for several years now, but one of the hardest challenges are human faces, because we have evolved to spot incredibly subtle signs within faces. Look up the Uncanny Valley.

To answer your question directly, the human eye can basically detect ~300 dpi at reading length (hence Apple marketing "retina" screens)

the resolution of reality is that which can be observed using tools, so 0.05 nm (single atoms) with the right equipment (HRTEM).

Our perception of reality with the naked eye depends on the distance away and how good our vision is. Someone with 20/20 vision can resolve 1 arcminute (1/60th of a degree).

This CG looked real because of all the little details that are part of a real eyeball, that most CG leaves out. Really fantastic indeed.

Wait for it.... Wait for it...

CGEYE!
