Ultra-realistic CGI skin
After researching and simulating light reflection from skin engineers from University of Southern California now increase the level of detail. Using a specially developed lighting system and camera, they photographed samples of skin from people's chins, cheeks and foreheads at a resolution of about 10 micrometres, so that each skin cell was spread across roughly three pixels. They then used the images to create a 3D model of skin and applied their light reflection technique to it. The result was CGI skin complete with minute structures like pores and microscopic wrinkles. Finally, they fed the CGI images to an algorithm that extended them to fill in an entire CGI face.

As you can see thats about the limit of live rendering on a average gaming pc.

Read that to know a little more on how it works , I'm not sure if its the same thing but to me it sounds very similar to this.

Amazing.
Expect this technology to appear in the next CGI movies in no time.
