Renderings ?

[Kyle_Grace]

I think they're just heavily retouched photos, giving them that 'rendering' feeling as a lot of the imperfections have been removed.

Photo?

I got a call from them for some 3D work. I checked out their web page and I saw the images. I thought they were either really good renderings or really poor photos. One of the lobby photos show extreme tiling on the floor.... I have never seen floor covering look like that.

I have seen tiling happen a lot in real life. Many of these fake stone companies only make 9-10 different "stones" in each pattern. So even when they are randomly placed it looks tiled because your eye notices that there is only 1 really big stone shape. There is one place that has this happening at the freeway and its so surreal to drive by because it looks cg. Every time I drive by I get into this logic loop where at first I think "Hey I can see the tiling here" then I realize it not a rendering.

Hehe, the local health center in my town has a fake marble like flooring that has the same annoying pattern on every single tile. The clean and boring walls and the very, very sharp spotlights used to light the windowless place make it even more frustrating. I hate going there, like illness was not bad enough, I have to wait hours in a bad render.

Best regards,

How did you figure that out?

Right click an image in Explorer > Properties > Summary tab > Advanced

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

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

See above for an easier way

If it were renderings, they'd be pretty damn good...

Hours in a bad render.... now that is funny!

[jonasa]

so is the conclusion: very bad photos = very good renderings...??

[glorybound]

Rendering?

yes... that is the conclusion.

[ene.xis]

i think very bad photo = unreal picture of perceived reality...
those are such bad photo examples that one is forced to perceive it as a fake.

On the other hand i have seen a couple of works (renderings) that are far better then reality!

Photo?

This one is the one that confuses me (middle image). The floor and the crown molding ends short on the brick fireplace. Very odd...

I'm confused, what fireplace?

[glorybound]

Photo?

I am sorry. Not fireplace, but on the brick wall.

[voltron7]

sorry 'bout the kidding, but yes, that looks like bad architecture, but perhaps there was a legitimate reason behind that "design"...
