Currently the world of animation is attempting to create photorealistic animation of humans, at the moment we often see animals in films like the new award winning Bolt in which we see stylised dogs, cats, pigeons, hamsters and cartoon humans. We are yet to see realistic humans of such high quality as to fool us into disbelief, this of course is the goal. We hope to create realistic animated human interactions set within a detailed enviroment. Upto now Final Fantasy:The Spirits within is cited as the first animation attempting to create realistic humans without using puppetry or animatronics, this considered, its clear that we are a long way from achieving this. However if/when this arrives it will mean big changes for the film industry in terms of the role of the actor. For another example of this attempt at human like recreation with 3D animation and motion capture you can hope to see an improvement in Alice In Wonderland due to be released in 2010.
I've been struggling to understand some of the technical jargon I found on Wikipedia but Ive recently found a sister website, http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/, which offers simple, easy to understand explanations.
