Haruhi is watching you!
Apparently it’s a sample of some content that Bandai is planning for Suzumiya Haruhi no Yakusoku‘s (the PSP game) homepage. It’s hard to do nice-looking cel-shaded 3D models and I think this one is pretty damn good. It uses MotionPortrait technology from a company by the same name. (I guess they don’t do much else.)

Its so fun, I can look at her eyes going round and round all day lol…
September 13th, 2007 at 10:27 pm
added to list of psp games to get.

I found the demo very interesting. How long before 3d can do 2d about right, I wonder?
September 13th, 2007 at 10:59 pm
Oh. My. F—ing. God.
That looks really, REALLY good.
September 13th, 2007 at 11:10 pm
LOL!
I can sit here all night making her eyes go round and round. XD
Need a PSP now…

Crap… I can’t see that page….

Very well done indeed!
In other Haruhi & videogames news, have you seen that figure: http://www.figma.jp/products/yusha_haruhi.html ? Almost makes you want to buy the PS2 game for that alone…

Very addicting…I could look into those big brown eyes all day long. n_n;
September 14th, 2007 at 12:52 pm
It’s scary. Haruhi’s too serene. She’s thinking something up. God help us.

Pretty neat stuff. They turn ‘AI’ on when your cursor is beyond range of the screen. You can make her look sleepy by moving the cursor to her chest. >.

BTW, small window (with working とじる button) can be found under the SOS tab in the official website. Two more faces are to be released…
September 14th, 2007 at 6:38 pm
man, that’s awesome…my new addiction ^^
September 14th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
On another note, I did buy the PS2 game. :P
September 14th, 2007 at 10:03 pm
Oh crap. Good thing I have my still-reliable PS2 with me (wasn’t all that hyped about the PS3 available here already, yet).
Now I have to wait for those importers… :P

What a cool yet simple idea. :D
Although i think the demo on the MotionPortrait site is more freaky than cool.
September 15th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
The eyes are the window to the soul, this is too addictive man, now I’ll be losing even more sleep.
September 16th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
This is addictive!
September 16th, 2007 at 3:30 pm
OMG! Nice one!
September 19th, 2007 at 6:24 pm
hm… does anyone know how to actually rip the swf? It would be ultra nice having this as desktop.. I’ve tried it using the bandwidth-consuming way, and it lags so much my head hurts… plus it’s ripping my bandwidth off.. 480kb by 480kb…
September 25th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
