Cool little quiz at Autodesk. Ten photos and you have to figure out if they're real or CG. I got 10/10, but there had to be a little luck involved because I was definitelly waffling on a few. There are still some small visual cues that distinguish CG from real, but man, they're getting subtle.

Those green peppers were too real too be CG. I would commit suicide if they wre fake... oh and the bmw... there is no way you will see such a clean and shiny car!

 

[ugafan]

the car is incredible.

 

[Tom Marshall]

Yeah, that BMW must have taken a lot of time...

 

[ryan brown]

The car!? no way...

Are they saying just the car itself, or the entire image??

I also got the bonus round right the first time, now where´s my price?
Can I have one of that fany smoke systems now?
But it was more than the plain visual information, that helped making my choices...

8 out of 10 here. I thought the monkeys might have been a trick... but I didn't underestimate myself and, in the end, I prevailed! =)

Holy crap.

Followed the BMW description to their website, and this is where it lead me. Amazing, to say the least.

I know.

I only got 1/4 on the bonus round, and I of course "forgot" to mention that.

 

[Tom Marshall]

I just did the bonus round cause i didn't know about it (yeah, I only got 8 out of 10) - the knight looks really good for being a CGI model.

10/10 a year ago. 10/10 still.

LuLLZ. And the BMW definitely looks fake.

 

[dougspice]

8/10 on both this one and last year's.

These days, when I see a car ad, I am usually surprised when it turns out to be real.

I got the car wrong. The car was so realistic

The car is pretty amazing work. I had to look at it for a long time and then it was the cobbles and something slightly off about the light and geometry of the background that tipped me. The car is clean, but on any still shoots with cars, they clean the cars to a supernatural state and then photoshop them to perfection.
