Hello to Everyone.

We wanted to find out if you guys can "see" as good as you Render.

We have 4 option here.

a)Real.

b)Real but altered a little bit in order to confuse you.

c)Cgi.

d)Cgi but altered a little bit in order to confuse you.

Think and "see" twice before you answer.

Thank you all.

Ohh and if you cant vote you can always leave a comment....

Apparently polls don't work.

I don't get the last option. I suppose that it means that the render was so realistically awesome, that you had to worsen it in Photoshop? But what would be the point of this? If you produce a realistic result, you want people to believe that is a real photo, not to trick them into correctly guessing (by wrong reasons) that the image is a render.

A studio shot is artificial by definition = easier to reproduce with computers, so this render could be anything. Also the image could be bigger. But I will still says CGI.

A better test (for Octane) would be to have a non-retouched original photo of a scene with complex lighting, and a render. So a photo vs CGI option.

I think it's CGI. The reflection in the phone appears to have people standing around in it and are appearing in all different places and angles. The most visible person appears to be looking at the phone front on, which would suggest that the actual phone is mounted on a wall and is not lying flat.
I think I can also see a lone firefly in the shadow of the one on the right at the bottom left.
It may be my eyes playing tricks on me, but I think on the phone on the right I can see some sharp edges on the top left and bottom right corners as a result of too low subdivision.

Well it appears to be running iOS and it ain't an iPhone so that sort of gives it away.

-Cgi but altered a little bit in order to confuse you- means that we reprodused a pure (not retouched) photoreal render and added only 1 thing to trick you.
But generally you got a point at your writings.Thank you.

To Daniel

You got the only one firefly man, congrats.

The person from our stuff who choose the picture with iOS is sooooo FIRED.... Joking..., nice "see" by the way steveps3


Yeap its pure CGI, octane pure render with out any colour correction, or anything and it was rendered under 6 minutes.

Preety cool ha??

If you say so. Looks like a pretty basic model to me.

Ohh man stop joking
Look at this badly oriented triangle Or whatever!!!!

To ttaberna

Its some kind of weird reflection, but do to the untouched of the story we left it there.

ReRendered the scene with a little bit differend setting.

Think this is better.

hey, it looks ok. Getting in early for next June?
