【Jin Seo】

Animators and Jin Seoindustry watchers have been pretty excited for the past few months about Saya, an incredibly realistic CGI Japanese teenager.

Created by Tokyo-based husband and wife duo Teruyuki and Yuka Ishikawa, Saya's gone through several improvements with minute details, such as little hairs at the top of her head and the translucent appearance of her skin, mimicking that of a real-life girl of her age.

Now, they've produced the first video of Saya in motion at the CEATEC trade show in Japan.

For now, Saya seems a little stiff, especially in the way the fabric of her dress moves. But given the obsessive nature of her creators' methods, Saya might look a lot different in future renderings.

Here's one of the latest looks for Saya produced by the Ishikawas. They've said in previous interviews that all of their characters' textures are hand-painted and don't replicate photographs.
