I think the hand-cuffed piano-player probably is a photograph and the rest 3D renders...

Simply amazing technology.
Man, once you hear about confirmation bias, you start seeing it everywhere!
Absolutely. The technology seems to be only getting better. It is virtually impossible for most people to tell the difference between real and faked images.Originally Posted by Xylo
Very, very impressive. I wonder how long it takes to render. There's also some very talented people who create photo realistic artwork in Adobe Illustrator. Now that's patience!
Photo realistic vector art
I wonder how (and if actually) an image analyst could tell the difference.
Man, once you hear about confirmation bias, you start seeing it everywhere!
Those are very nice pictures, but I thought they all looked fake. Even the guys hands, which were extraordinary, had flaws on the knuckles. It would be funny if I found out that part was real though!
Our understanding and intelligence around computer graphics can create such life-like games and pictures you just have to wonder whether we all are living in a big virtual reality, and what we have created in our video games just mimics the larger world around us? Admittedly this has a New Age slant to it, but there is some real physics there also. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Not really. I starting dabbling with computers with the Vic20 and the graphics was revolutionary way back then but there's no way virtual reality could be considered real with pixels the size of a cow..but I know what you mean
Entertainment is progressing at high speed when it comes to technology. I assume the days of sitting on a couch playing Halo or watching movies will be a thing of the past when we're all thrusted into virtual entertainment that puts us deep within the action of a game or movie.
I missed a whole lot of punctuation.
