Yes, the CG Yoda is far more "real" looking than the puppet. Well okay the CG one does thave that "CG" quality to him, but he makes up for it with flexibility... the puppet didn't exactly seem all that real either you know... and yes they copied his puppet movements pretty well in the CG character.
And OB1 I may not be able to tell which parts of that clonetrooper are real and which aren't, but I can tell that Yoda is a CG model and not a puppet. :)
Oh and he's right that they aren't perfect. They are admittedly nearly indestinguishable, but I am quite sure that there are flaws and that they have not perfected CG. Just look at most any movie out there with it and how most of the time it's pretty obvious when they have CG characters... CG people do NOT look like real people yet. The Troopers deal with that of course by being in armor, but still... I'm sure some people can tell the real thing from the CG...
