We call anime, eroge and manga girls "2D" and real girls "3D" but what do we call this? CG 3D? Any better names?
I personally prefer the 3D CG rendering below.

          Yeah I think the whole appeal of 2D is the cute factor. At least she doesn't look like the 3D anime girl from a while ago.

        Oh sweet! I've been looking for a new winamp skin. Cookies cookies cookies for you!

        I actually like this 3d miku. Pretty hot. I think my dolphin likes it too. :)

        That youtube video of Miku is pretty cool too. I quite like the different style. Very cute.

      Well, that one in the videos are closer from what we are used to, that is for certain. But she has some charm in the one Danny posted.
      To each his camp, I suppose.

    I still prefer the 2D version, but if it has to be 3D then it would be the semi-3D style like in the video. The render looks quite good though, but me not likes :)

    I think the 3D rendering is impressive, but it just doesn't have the same feel as the 2D (or even the 3D in the video).

    Personally, I prefer the traditional 2D drawings over the 3D anyway =)

    that's one very sweet CG of MIku-chan~ =3

    imo, 3D CG characters like that one is still under the context of 2D girls for they can only exist inside a monitor or a TV screen and you can't physically touch them ^^

    I'd like to hug (non-ero) the Miku in the video. Her moe factor is high there.
    Her 3D modellization is not bad at all, but the face the artist gave her is not really of my taste.

    Ahem. That aside, the 3D image is absolutely well done(aside from aforementioned point) and it looks like a movie-quality work. But I think Miku's most important area is the moe-factor. The 3D one is beautiful, but not moe.

    I like this version, actually. Heh, maybe it's because I'm warming up more to a character design style that's closer to real life (ex. Tetsuya Nomura's designs for Final Fantasy these days).

    But this type of art is becoming more and more common. There hasn't really been a name outside of 3d rendered/3d.
