Time is passing fast and so is the concept of synthetic beauty. We are focussing on the evolution of virtual actors for realtime applications since 1987. While virtual beauties dominated the 1990th it seems there is a change now in the perception of morphology, especially of faces. Symmetry has to be broken to establish a more realistic left/right brain face. If you like to see other realtime beauties and actors, all designed for realtime stage use, some of them virtual singers, check our work at noDNA (www.noDNA.com). The admirable idorus Tasha, Aimee and Tyra have received more than 600 loveletters, gifts and 2 offers for marriage.

Ramona is shurely more attractive than Mr. Ed!I guess, you shuold work with the graphics engine a bit more, she has a ( in my opinion) very technical face, somehow usefull to make kids scary.
Put her File on a disc and send it over to Hollywood, I guess, they are busy with a new Godzilla- movie there.

Nice pictures, but the voice appears monotonous, interface development needs more investigation. I hope in the future applications that helps people with disabilities, Ramona maybe the first step to reach that.

Very well done! Ramona is world classic. Her face seems to have a multi-ethnic quality, i.e. a composite. Was this feature intentional or am I just projecting an interpretive overlay?
Again, your Ramona project shows good and great achievement from a lot of hard work and inspiration. 5 - 10 years of more work will produce something even more wonderful and fantastic. Baby steps and then giant leaps are normal. But, Ramona is a giant leap from the start. I quess orbit is next! Will Ramona ever become a full bodied avatar?

There's something really odd about the red rim lighting in ramona_concert.jpg. Her right arm makes it look like the light source is below her; her face, left hip and right leg make it look like it's to her left; her left shoulder makes it look like it's behind her. And how it's lighting up the lower left side of her right breast, without a similar effect on her left breast, is an utter mystery.

Sorry to say this but all the hard work put in this 3D model came out pretty bad...
Ramona is not pretty enough. As a 3D artist myself, I can't appreciate your work. Ramona's nose is too big, her face muscles are too appearant, and she looks more like a drug queen than a real girl. Get new references, do some learning and get some taste.
Sorry.

Hey, c'mon, drug queens ARE real girls. ...The chat function is even funnier. Ramona always tells you about her pet frog, then asks what drugs you take. If it was real life, I'd say that her pet frog is a bufo alvarius and that she's some kind of spaced out toad-licker. It makes the demented conversations even funnier if you look for a possible motivation.
On the other hand, think about how a more evolved strong AI ramona is going to look upon all of those who made fun of her when she was in her pre-cave-woman mode of today. If she's some kind of deviant artilect, we might be sealing our own doom with our snyde remarks.
