Click on the link above...(beware of half-nudity please) what do you think about the model?

That asian girl...is not a girl! It is not alive, it is just a silicone doll. It costs about 300$ and it has the perfect shape of a living human body. It can be positioned and stand still for days without even moving.

These dolls are made as a sex toy...there are male versions. Asian, african, caucasian etc every race is possible.

I don't think that the face will fullfill a photographers expectations of facial expression. But could it be used as a lifetime free nude model? What do you think?

	Posted by Parkinsonsniper on May 18, 2013 Thanks for all the opinions :) I think you can add the "silicone doll" detail in the explanation, it will easily solve the release problem. Since the doll can't sue you for anything, I don't there will any problem. The family is a bigger issue for sure. No wife or mom will a lifesie doll in the house. But they are inflatable :) The 3D model issue was discussed before. It's a matter of time that animations will replace human beings. See the last Tomb Raider video game's intro demo...if they can do it on a video, I can't imagine what they can do in a single frame. Maybe we should start to shoot seamless real life textures :)) (btw I already started)

	Posted by Gmargittai on May 18, 2013 I'm sure my family would not be thrilled if I would order one. Then after we pass all that how will you convince DT that she is not a live person thus needing a model release? BTW on a similar note, I went to a photo seminar and met a person who's business is to build models, not real physical ones but software models of people, and faces. Then he can change very easily the complexion (it is called texture), making transformations to the face. Now because this is a model these transformations are easy and realistic, much easier to do than with liquify of PS. So with one basic model he can come up with hundreds of variations. Extremely photorealistic. He says that the days of live models and long hours in front of the camera are numbered. He sells his creations as book covers and posters. maybe through some stock sites.
