While that is impressive I don't know that stuff like that will ever fully fly. The reason is that while it looks amazing, it lacks soul. I don't mean that in a religious way, just in a way that there is no life to stuff like that. Sure, one picture can look amazing, the hard part is the video. The reason many movies work (especially dramas and comedies) is that you connect with the characters. If it is not 100% real it will seem fake and it is very hard to connect to something fake. There are always exceptions to the rule ( like a lot of the Pixar movies have cartoons you connect with and some movies have CG characters you enjoy and connect with), but overall it will be very difficult to make something completely CG that seems so real you could connect with it time and time again.
The same can be said for porn. Good porn is about the sound and the facial expressions and sweat and movement. It makes you feel like you are there or you connect with the people in it and get turned on. It will pretty hard to duplicate that type of thing. It is also about the fantasy of being with the girl in it. I can watch Jenna Haze and get turned on because I can have the fantasy of hooking up with her. If I knew she was CG - no matter how good it was - then that fantasy is dead.
I think of it like this. It is the difference between having sex with something like a blow up doll or a fleshlight and having sex with a real woman. The toy might feel good and get the job done, but it is pale in comparison.
Still, that is cool picture and whoever did it is very talented.
