I watched part of it.

I watched part of it.

I thought it was very compelling. The 3D model looked amazing when fully rendered.

I saw a early shot of the finished product but went to bed before the processing was complete.

What I did see was extremely life like.

Looks an awfully lot like Frank Zappa.

At the end of the program, they had him blink his eyes - it was really amazing. I'm not they got the nose quite right though. I wish I could find a video clip.

The Messiah was a Jew. The Word says he was average looking so I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

More interesting facts...

In 544 AD, a cloth bearing an image of Jesus was discovered hidden above a gate in Edessa's city walls. Six years later, an icon, the Christ Pantocrator, was produced at St. Catherine's Monastery in the Sinai.

Alignment of the Shroud Face and the icon

Shroud of Turin Face

There are startling similarities between the icon and the image we see on the Shroud of Turin. There are, perhaps, too many similarities for it to be a mere coincidence.

• The general placement of facial features including eyes, nose and mouth. In fact, when a transparency of the Shroud face is superimposed over the icon, there are no significant variations.
• The hair on the left side (your right) falls on the shoulder and swoops outward. The hair on the other side is shorter.
• The eyes are very large.
• The nose is particularly thin and long. The face is gaunt.
• There is a gap in the beard below a concentration of facial hair that is just below the lower lip.
• The neck is particularly long.

It is particularly interesting to note that starting about this time a dramatic change took place in the way Jesus was portrayed on coins, icons, frescos and mosaics. Before this time, Jesus was usually portrayed in storybook settings such as a young shepherd or modeled after the Greek Apollo.

After the discovery of the Edessa Cloth, images of Jesus were suddenly full-frontal facial images.

The Word says He was beaten beyond recognition, that even his beard was tore out.

It is a pointless waste of time to speculate about such matters.

These documentaries of the Messiah always are timed perfectly to air at Easter time. Happens every year.

The girl who said 'Jesus was hot' made me lol.

Thanks for the vid posting...I missed this show. Although, I'm not sure what He looked like was so important as opposed to who He was, and what He did. (someone on the vid said something similar and ita).

Nonsense!!
