.... sorry boys!
itīs a photo
a fake, joke, a digital trap ... sorry :?)
when I saw this scene in the livingroom of a friend, it remindet me emidiately of one of the highend caustics scenes some people arround here working on.
klick ... one little photo and some photoshop and allez hop into the cinema forum
thanks everyone for your replys
you really made me laugh
but this also shows us how highpitched computer grafix are today. even freaks (if I might call you so) can hardly see a difference between real and digital anymore
keep on faking
cheers

i agree with fxgogo this makes great challenge for cinema caustics, lets see who can do a awsome copy of that pic.
Mike.
There was alot that gave that away as a foto, but dude your not funny. This is twice now, one more time and I'm going to fly to Austria and kick your ass...
What were the give-aways...?
I actually thought it was a CGi, and not even a very nice one, even as others apparantly dissagreed.
I still don't think it looks realistic, except for the caustics....
Weirdness, I know... :hmm:
I have a great sense of humor, but this is just not something i find amusing at all:shame: :wip:

Gareth!!! you're the bastard :D
Now I'm gonna have to give this a shot... I have 2 work assignments, two characters in the works, a tutorial to write, a child to raise, a wife to love and please, groceries to buy, bills to pay, grandparents to call, shelves to dust and a ham to cook and slice... BUT NO!!!! I have to model and light this stupid vase... you sir... ARE the bastard. Maybe if I don't think about it for a few hours I'll give it up.

I think it's quite funny, what's wrong with a prank every once in while.
Losen up, no harm done as he eventually adimtted it was just a prank...

wow!
havenīt thought that this causes such a rumor.
...yellow card...bastard...ban...kick ass...
listen people - I kept the joke alive for one hour. itīs not that I won a cg-talk award with a fake image or gained money out of it. so keep it down on the ground.
for sure it would be uncool if this would constantly happen and if one must doubt every realistic image coming in. but as far as I know this place, this never happened here before (or does anyone know another case of haevy-faking in this forum???) - so give it an originality bonus.
or if you dislike it than enjoy doing so
cheers

Good for you, mimo8!! :thumbsup: I was kinda ticked off but now I gotta say I respect you're coming back and apologizing. And now, I CAN kinda see the point of your behavioural experiment. When I saw photo you posted I immediantly showed it to my wife and said, "see, this is the software I want to buy! isn't it cool".
Fxgogo & slouchcorp are right...great challenge!! And the winner can be posted on Highend3d.com...oops, thats, right...they don't have a Cinema4D forum. :rolleyes:
P.S. To me the best hoax was the one awhile back @ elysuin.com where some posted a splash screen showing Macromedia had bought Blender.

Wesware, I know where you are coming from. I have resorted to going to bed at 1am just to get some cg done. ALthough last night it was spent doing the finances. DAMN THIS 24 HOUR DAY!!
dude I am gonna jump off a cliff cause of you. Man you are like the worst person in the world.
lol it really doesnt matter to me, as long as you fess up of course. If not I support getting all prison style on ya.

Well ill let it stay, but its closed. For originality, I can't give you any credits, this has been done before, to even greater extensts as trying to manipulate a photo of a car to make peple think it was CG. I know its all in good fun, but this does cause issue as to artists integrity, which may not seem to come up too much in the 3D end, but has come up a lot in the 2D, so generally this type of humor is discouraged. n Its mainly ca concern of someone doing something realistic and being accused of faking is unfair, but these types of pranks cause doubt in peoples minds.
If you guys want to fool around test your CGrecognizing skills go to the alias wave front site, they have a small test where they show a bunch of images, some are real some are not. its really quite fun, a little challenge but overal not too hard IMO. I got them all right.
