Is this pic real or computer-generated?

[ktehmok]

Question: How do you keep a bunch of nerds in suspense?













































OP FTW

 

[GuitarDaddy]

It's a painting

 

[SparkyJJO]

Its obviously CG, it has that look to it
still looks pretty close to real, CG has come a long way

 

[Andres3605]

The difference being that looks like CG and is, whereas this does not and isn't!

Sure enough, but having seen the PGR3 screenies before this, I definitely thought twice and looked closer to be certain.

These pics are like, clearly textured.

But they ARE good looking.

If the OP would have just posted this pic and said "Hey, look at this pic I just took with my new camera" no one would have said a damn thing about it being computer generated. Funny how that works.

that is THE FSCKING TRUTH...seriously, probably 90% of the people who say it's CG are only saying so because of a mental/psychological behavioral response. Like the poster I quoted, if OP had just said "look at my pic I just took" no one would mention a damn word about CG.

In addition, most of the people who say it's CG/fake give some lame ass answer like "it just looks fake" or "there's something not quite right about <insert tree, car, bus, building, window, etc>"....BULLSH!T, you're just reading too much into it and thinking you are keen/perceptive at identifying fake images. You're eyes aren't better than others to distinguish that idiots. (Not saying all, b/c some ppl CAN see a difference in a fake vs real image, but most are just saying they can b/c they "think" they're awesome like that)

Well I've already stated it's real [only] because of the #412 pic but a quick question for those who say it's real the instant they looked at it...

What does it look like if it were computer generated ? Does it not look exactly like that ? I mean, compare 409 to 412. They ARE different. One is so obviously real while the other is not so obvious.

I'm trying to understand how some people's perception can be so different. As it was loading from the top down, the top portion instantly screamed CG to me. Do you guys see where I'm coming from or am I wack - yo ?

It's friggin' fake

Where are the trees that show up reflected in the buses windows?

Are we going to get an answer here or what?

the asphalt is too perfect

 

[BrokenVisage]

Where's the poll?!

 

[drinkmorejava]

when messing around with PS, it seems that the angle of light on the road might not work with the shadows in the archway; otherwise, I see no reason for it to be fake. But damn, thats a nice road.

 

[The Linuxator]

You guys didn't look closely enough at the pic , look at the white sidelines, you see those little cracks in the paint , amongst other things, it's far too detailed to be CG.
But if it's CG then tell me what Card he used and I am sold

 

[PHiuR]

something is wrong with the camera it can't read light properly

 

[VIAN]

real

[nobrainerdeals]

if it has to be either one or the other, i'd say it's real.
