Renderings ?

[glorybound]

What do you think, are these renderings?

Hi Bobby

I had a quick look and from the 1st image there are elements that makes it look like a rendering. For example the floor tiles seem to be very perfectly straight and the timber looks the same colour and also very straight. However the tassles of the rug on the floor and the zip of pillow on the foreground, the deformation of the other cushions and the details of the seems in the couch and the texture itself, convinced me the first image is a photo. (The ceiling fan seems to be going at very high speed

Hmmm I had a look at the 2,3 and 4th image also and jip, I reckon they all photos.

Regards,
Morne

I had a look at the other images from their portfolio section. I'd say they are all photographs even though some do have a rendering feeling, but I think that is just the camera flash and lighting they use and they didnt intend for some to look like renders, it just so happen that some do. Some nice photos, some good reference pics for us to try and get same feeling in our renderings I think.

That's tricky; these particular ones look more like renderings than photographs, don't know about the rest of the site.

Definitely photos. A bit tricky, but photos. Everything is unique. Could be renders though, since this level of realism can be made, but I doubt that someone would pay for that immerse amount of work.

Best regards,

Yep, photos, unless every texture is unwrapped and hand painted.

Renderings?

How did you figure that out?

[tom182]

open image in photoshop and do a file> file info>camera data,

the Status of the project being 'complete' was also an indicator,

Morbid Angel:
Are you being serious? You think these photos are badly done?

I thought they were not too bad. Only two things bother me the first being the ligthing look a bit suspect, but worse than that, I hate it when people take photos or do renders and the lens is so wide that forgeground stuff (and sometimes the whole image) distorts so much that you think when you look at the picture - man, I still haven't recovered from last night's party!

Kind Regards,

Yup, definitely not the best work of photography. This is probably why you thought these were photos in the first place. Lighting is flat, almost like an exponential color mapping burnout. The lack of contrast and drama creates this rendered look. And talk about bad photos, F/18 for what? lol that's a hell lot of diffraction for 17mm.

Best regards,

Bobby - the first shot looks very like an early stage image you posted of a big fireplace and room a while back - an old people 's home I think?
is that why you want to know if they got it done in 3d or took pics later?!
