Just a quick test I made.

Background is HDRI. Ground, Lion statue is mesh and textures. That's pretty much it.

very nice test. there are only a few tiny details to tell, that this is not a photo...

I know, low res textures is one of them.

Thanks.

Thanks.

wasn't my concern. mine was the smooth back edges of the bumpy stone floor. but if you show the same image to people who don't try to find some cgi indications, i bet they'd take it for a photo...

Very nice!!!!!
You can have some more info? Wire, textures ..
Congratulations, very realistic test!

Thank you.

I'm at work at the moment but I'll upload a screenshot from within 3ds Max (I'm using Octane for 3ds Max)

Here's a grab from 3dsMax:


Some info:
In one way this didn't needed to be rendered. What I'm testing here is a software called 123d Catch. What this software does is by adding a row of pictures it generates a mesh and a diffuse texture. But because the diffuse is made by stitched-together photos a lot is "pre-baked" (diffuse, light etc). I tested this mainly because it's an interesting way of getting real life props in to a games (which is what I've been working with for the last 13 years). I stumbled over this software in a tutorial where a guy starts with this app and brings the generated mesh inc. texture in to zbrush to then remesh, retopo and finally bake it into a complete game asset.

In case you're interested to play around with this software (it's a free beta), you'll find it here:

Technology is a wonderful thing ..
Tnx!
