Facial detail may be great, but it’s amazing to me that they would put so much effort into making an animated character look life-like, but neglect to have it breathe.

There is zero chest wall movement. If you have a friend who works in medicine — especially emergency med or intensive care - send them this link and ask them how natural this looks. Bet most of them will immediately notice the same issue.

Huh - that's really interesting - thanks for that insight. One more thing to simulate.

Yeah that one is surprisingly good, even if the eyes move in a way that feels like the character can't see. I'm not sure why I feel that way, but something seems empty.
