Our goal is the most accurate paleo visuals to ever exist. We're building the formula on animals that are still alive, where a photograph grades the math pixel by pixel. Then we take the nearest living relative of an extinct animal and compute the difference. This is a Caspian tiger eye, built from first principles and graded against the Amur and the Bengal. A few more grades and you won't know whether it was photographed alive or built.
The best of these sit at 88%. We’ve even got some videos in that range too.
We haven’t pushed to a full render for anything yet because soon as I do GTA 6 won’t be delayed anymore and even your mother will be able to do this with Claude. lol 😂
From Claude:
•Grain makes too many cells unique, 984 of 1,024 against at most 949.
•Above-right of the eye is too smooth.
•Color sits at 73 % mostly because our tiger is a different animal from the ones in the pairs.
The measured gaps left are small and several are the tiger's identity, not realism. The next real gain is either a sharper source photograph for the coat, or your Caspian color work. The sheet is round 9.
Ps. I’m mostly doing this so I can study forms and realistic proportions for my low density pixel art work.

The Caspian tiger (Panthera tigris virgata) was declared extinct in 2003. I’m working with Claude to bring this species, and others like it, back to life in a digital capacity, with methods developed in house that allow AI to see with pixel perfect precision.
No one’s ever filmed a Caspian tiger in color. To rebuild one, every hair has to be measured, not guessed. So we start on a living tiger's eye and read it pixel by pixel.
One of these images was read the ‘correct’ way.
Can you tell which one?View quoted post on X
