quite cool
just wondering if it's "hard hand work" or some sneaky smart algorithm creating this from photos (but i guess that's not really possible, is it?)

Wow! They look like photographs, I haven't seen such lifelike lettuce before. That's better than any 3D work anywhere

Wow... Quite depressing to think that if i wanna get anywhere, i'll have to be THAT good................... Which aint gonna happen anytime soon....

That spanish villa motorcycle ad is the craziest computer rendered pic I've seen so far I think. There's very few things there that I would spot outright as signs that the pic is computer generated, the stone driveway looks a little flat perhaps and the shadow of the potted plant against the wall is too sharp. Other than that it looks very very realistic. Not many would be able to tell the pic is fake if they didn't know beforehand it's a rendering.

The catcher's mitt, the lettuce and the doggie also look crazy good.

i think some of those really are photographs.

Yes, someone obviously created a filter to convert images into what looks somewhat like wireframe renders. The lines themselves often don't represent polygons or nurbs by any means, but the images as a whole create a rather convincing effect.

Stay in school london-boy.
