None of this looks "photorealistic". The creatures look hilarious and the paper is not well written either. "Each part generator is either a transpiled node-graph, or a non-uniform rational basis spline (NURBS). NURBS parameter-space is high-dimensional, so we randomize NURBS parameters under a factorization inspired by lofting, composed of deviations from a center curve. To tune the random distribution, we modelled 30 example heads and bodies, and ensured that our distribution supports them." This strikes me as a fairly random approach. No wonder why those creatures look the way they do. I fail to see why this is worth a scientific paper as it appears to be no more than a student project with a number of contributors across different fields. Building a (somewhat) procedually based asset library has been done countless times before by game dev studios big and small.
