Is this pic real or computer-generated?

[Eli]

lol...

Real.

What's abnormal about it?

It's real..

 

[Eli]

hahahaha... WTF?

I can't believe so many people think it's CG.

WTF???? I've never seen a CG pic that looks like that.

But if it's CG then tell me what Card he used and I am sold

:thumbsup:

It (was) a brand new bikepath and a recently renovated LUXURY apartment building, of course they're clean.

I can't believe people still think this is CG. :roll:

See this is the thing... the building specifically looks exactly like something you would see out of PGR or Forza. It doesn't have the random fading in bricks and just too much uniformity. That (and the texture on the bus) are reasons that lead me to *believe* it's CG.

I truly don't understand how people don't see a difference in realism between pics 409 and 412. Or do you ? (How come nobody is answering this question?)

It's real, you nubs.

The only difference between the two pics (besides the different subjects) is the lighting and the distance from the photographer to the subject.

Another thing -- if you follow the line of the building, you can see the distoriton of the camera's lens. If it were CG, that building edge would be straight as an arrow.

The bus seems to resemble a model used in a popular video game. GTA perhaps? Might be why so many people think it's rendered.

 

[Saint Nick]

looks computer generated. look at the leaves on the tree... the transition between colors, etc.

Also.. follow the white line on the road to far right. You can see that line isn't perfectly straight either. It would be if it was CG.

Didn't read the thread to see if this was said, but that is right by Battery Park, right after you exit the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and are heading towards Wall St., the ad is for luxury condos they just built, probably cost you ~2000 a month

I sorta lost track of the topic when people began arguing that only parts of the picture were CG, as if the building, or parts of the bus were digitally inserted though I see no reason why the person would do this other then sheer boredom.

The pictures are real.

I can't say what card he's got, but lets just say that my GF6800 can do that.

You people crack me up.

It is real!

CGI FTW, now where is that damn pole!

The reflection in bus windows shows far more trees than it should, unless of course, those are trees on the far side of the bus showing through but that doesn't seem likely. So my vote is for computer.
