Is this a render or a photo?

 

[Hooker]

Render, and not that amazing...

If that was in-game, it would look unbelievable, and be very hard to pick out the flaws, but as a static render it is reletively easy to dissect it (lips, beard, forehead).

Its not?

 

[Hooker]

When just being showed as a render, yes. When questioned whether it's real or not, nope.


Hair, skin reflection and especially eyes are off

 

[Zaptruder]

Really? How do you guys tell if it's 'off'?

I mean the guy looks a little... glazed over... but I can't see what's wrong with any individual elements... at best I can only sense something is wrong... but that's only after been asked if it's render or photo.

The only element that makes it look a bit strange directly looking at it would be the left shoulder... the loss of focus looks a tad artificial. Also the upper lip has a bit of airbrush tinge to it; but even pictures of real people have that.

if it was real-time that would be fking amazing by today's standards. pre-rendered though... it's not mind blowing, but still good.

They made him to look like he's wearing about a poind of make-up on his face. Also the way the hair lays over his forehead is a pretty big giveaway. The hair looses focus toward the back of his head.

Pretty good for a render though. Besides the facial feature problems, everybody seems to always use sub-surface scattering as a whole without using it where it should be. Skin reacts differently to light depending on the area I think. Also the background needs real defocus and not just simple blur.

So you werent sure if it was a render and you still called it amazing? Well now that i think about... Im no woman but that is one tasty dish.

I looked at the thread title, then the image, and said "that guy's not that good looking."

Then "it's a cgi?"

"WTF"

seriously, holy shit

It looks very nice, but it also looks like a wax figurine.

The main problem for me is the hair. The strands are too big and there's not enough of them...it looks like the guy's chin and head are covered by a few big hairs, instead of many smaller hairs (as it would be in real life).

Still, even as a static render I think this is very, very good.

let's see your effort then!

Yes, that's exactly what it looks like. I was trying to figure out why it doesn't look quite right (though still remarkable), and that's it.

 

[siege]

That's pretty good. Sort of reminds me of Liam Neeson in Kingdom of Heaven.

I knew it was a render.
Reminds me somebody once posted a real photo on a CG forum, and posters were quick to come up with all sorts of critiques for the photo saying it wasnt good. You know the usuall ones nose isnt right, hair looks dodgy etc lol

 

[Dice]

It looks like Liam Neeson
