That's insanely detailed! Great job!

[Ste-One]

[Creieru]

one of the most complex works i`ve ever seen. the complexity and realism is astonishing. i am almost sure that this work will win the cg choice awards. it deserves it!
great work!

[no-name-party]

There is a very awesome amount of detail in the images. Pretty cool. It is nice to see how the different daytimes do change the color of an image.

Great work ;)

Can you tell us how much time it took to render this scene?

The thing I love most is the composition. I would love to see how you layered this and what you did for the color treatment and atmospheric effects.

Yep, another great work from you !

Front Page stuff if ya ask me :)

[lightwell]

I am blown away by the jaw dropping detail and quality.

Amazing work!

Jim

[Macker]

Truly astonishing level of detail.

Are the specs of dust a particle system, or were they added in post? Just curious as to what the raw renders looked like, and what the post production process on them was like.

[Neutrino]

Oh my..... it's completely crazy level of photorealism :bowdown:
I have no words more... :banghead:

[Arkaiko]

Holy S*****,5 stars!
Show the wires man!

:argh:

Freakin awesome works!!! stunning details!

[SuperHero]

WOW, this is too awesome it hurts! i guess the only things you did'nt model are the built-in structure of those devices o.O

[MartinNielsen]

Usually I don't get excited about photo realism. Just give me some piece of art! But there's a very cool atmosphere in this piece. Great stuff! :thumbsup:

[Johnseventine]

Crazy cool!

[AJ]

F**k me - that's brilliant.

[TheWraith]

First of all, here's the short making of. it's not showing much of a special technique,

and some comments for questions that were asked:

Rusty7 - it took for 1 angle aprox. 2 hours to render.

rishiinamdar, veljko-lemonade, EladDabush - the entire project took 5 month
to complete but the work on it was on and off all the way. most of the time only
I worked on it but got lots of feedbacks from the entire crew here which were very
helpful. AFX was used for the post.

Macker, they were added at the post. it was much easier to achieve this effect
by faking it rather then doing it "physically". you can see the renders before
the post work in the makingof video.

Thanks again!

[whom]

Insane, just insane. Real good work. :beer:
Lol I just keep staring at the frames, amazing.

[Atrakt]

Wow ! Very good work ! :surprised

[Creieru]

congrats on the frontpage.

[rezatayebi]

superb :beer:
Thanks for making of too.

[webhead]

Photographic. Amazing attention to detail. Beautiful. Well deserved front page! Thanks for posting the making of video, as well. :buttrock:

[jtvergarav]

Man I'm freaking out! I really AM!

exactly ow many texture maps and shaders you got in that scene?

I'm specially amazed about the amateur photography, the flashy one. I never see that in 3d, and is an incredible approach to photo-realism.

[soroosh]

wow...
Very Perfect, Amazing art work.
All is very Nature rendering. very good lighting and rendering, nice details in modeling.
Congrats.

[Newke]

Stunning work ! Nothing more needed to say... just amazing :thumbsup:

[lo]

Holy crap, great job guys!

[PhuongDPh]

[ArvidSchneider]

this is absolutely INSANE! crazy guys!!!

[sandykoufax]

Amazing details and awesome ambient. Really great!

[NachoX]

that camera flash is just plain cool. creepy and beautiful at the same time

[MrHooper]

Beautiful work. Just great. Thanks for posting. I look forward to some info on vray settings. I'm doing some interiors right now, and find that LC+BruteForce is the best (with very detailed DMC threshold settings). I played around with IrradMap as my primary, but found that to get equal quality (no blotchiness), it was near the same amount of time as BF. I would think 2 hours is about right for this (as in quite well tuned). Great stuff!

[bakho]

Amazing in all aspects !! My favorite is the sunny day version.

Only one little critique : Maybe the glows in the night version are a little bit too much for photorealism.
Otherwise just incredibly perfect :)

[nettonik]

excellent, Great work

[AdanVC]

Amazing splendid awesome perfect Holy smokes!, that's all i can say!, the level of realism is insanely cool! imagine one turntable around the classroom!! geez! my jaw is in the floor now, perfect inspiration thank you thank you for that, very well desserved award! and front page and....damn just wow!.

[astitchintime]

WOW!

That's all I need to say. however...the forum requires more lol

[bigquix]

this is just beyond perfect!!

[Rosver]

Its the most realistic and complex work I ever seen! You deserve the award. Congratulations.

[artfx]

This is amazing. Generally for a CG production one gives a live action Photo as a ref for the artist. In your case we could give the CG to the Art director (live action) to match to. Crazy detailing, excellent work.

[msecure]

Wooouww amazing. Congratulations.

[Sceme]

It's impossible to figure out anything creative to write on this answer after looking this amazing render.

Very fierce, so complicated, Be just model very seldom and besides the effect is still so good!

[CD4]

HI! This is just a Mind-blowing render.Tons of details in terms of Modeling,Surfacing,Shading,Lighting,Composition and last but not the least the whole camera lens effect,DOF and Filters gives this piece extra Hyper realism coating.A great inspiration for me to render another PHOTO..:)

[raoof]

[vikiyeo]

Great job! congratulation!! :)

[artecasu]

Man, even if those shots were photos, they would still be great pictures.
What impressed me the most was the care and love you brought to that work.
We can clearly understand your photo back ground flowing through the scene

[Olubolus]

Amazing details!

[bryananthonydgm]

Bravo! Totally amazing! Your detailed work shows how lighting in a day varies proportionally with time. We often neglect the fact that there are changes in lighting within the day for we can't evaluate it directly with what we can see with our eyes, but with this, you detailed it perfectly. Very good work!

[satbirarora]

Rarest of the rare stuff i have ever seen in my life.. bang bang its looking toooooo original... OMG.

We would be very happy if you will also share the making and breakdowns of the same...

Thanks and hats off to you for your tremendous artwork.

[Stillwell]

Excellent work!

I'm curious to know what you used After Effects for. Did you use it for the colour grading?

Great job, it's very inspiring.

[harlequin02]

awesomeness ! how strong your computer to render it ? really . . .

[marner0501]

amazing work, how long did it take to complete ? and how many people did work on this project? thanks....

[candyseamai]

cool! love it:cool:

[carloscrespo3d]

I have to agree with many here that the level of detail dominates. How many people worked on this project? I would like to get a sense of the scope of your effort here. Thanks in advance. Great Work

[dtuts-wizard]

The level of detalization is incredible, I think it took really hours of hard work.

[thakingpin]

Crazy amount of detail...It's a stunning piece of art. Loved every render. Especially the camera flash version, the dust particles are well thought out.
There is just this request, if you could make a detailed making of video with all the process details such as texturing, lighting setup, post process ...

Cheers

[Ralle]

This is just absolutly amazing!

[hammerheart]

Wow, the camera flash images look super cool.

[karchcoon]

stunning! my favorites are the night shots hard lit by the camera flash. totally get this Silent Hill/Resident Evil feel. small thing for me was the chair metal textures do look better in the daytime.

great stuff. you've inspired me to take on one of the computer labs here at school sometime down the road.

[Behrendt]

Very inspiring and motivating piece of work you've completed there. Incredible amount of detail. Keep up the good work!

[marlaS]

thank you for this piece of realism and completeness!

These are so wonderful!

[StAiko]

Hello Everyone,

I want to thank you all again for taking the time and writing such great a comments.
It's really heartwarming and i really appreciating it.
I'm currently rendering short walk through sequence and the minute it will be ready i will post it here.

Stillwell - I'm using afx for color correction not just with animation seq but with stills just as well. I find it more easier and flexible to work with then doing it with photoshop and thats mainly because everything you do there stays "open" and can be adjust again later.

harlequin02 - I'm did this with quad and 4mb ram. not a monster computer but it handled it.
now that I start rendering the animation seq of this scene, I do it on all the studio's computers (16 computer overall, from quads to i7's).

marner0501,carloscrespo3d - well, it took 6 month overall but i didn't work on it constantly. there were lots of pauses. it was mainly me but i had good critiques from the entire crew which helped me a lot in the process of this.

Final thing, for all of you who requested a detailed making of article, i will try to do it but it might take some time for me to get to it... as you know it requires some work and time which i don't have much lately.
i'll do the effort and the minute it will be done i will post it here.

Thanks again and best regards,
Meny

[Pkke]

Even I can not totally astounded. Wonderful job with a excellent level of detail.
Undoubtedly one of the most detailed renderings I saw in my life.

[yanghan159125]

[nathy-d]

Fantastic Job, the attention to detail is outstanding. How did you achieve the camera flash effect?

[Ministry]

This is the best work i ve ever seen.. Looks so real. :bowdown:

[onodiandras]

This is simply amazing! The camera-flash scenes are truly brilliant. How did you create the dust-effect?

[Augrymal]

I've only ever seen one other work that's as photoreal as this, but this is an order of magnitude more complex. Awesome.

[StAiko]

Hello everyone,

We finally finished rendering a short animation sequence of this scene.
This is a flythrough animation which will give you a chance too see
the classroom in greater details.

One frame took 1:30 minutes to render in average. there were 1300 frames in total.
multipile this for the stereoscopic version we also did. but it was rendered in 15 computers
so it wasn't that bad...

Regular non-stereoscopic version:

[maxlevit]

Wonderful work. Impressive details, materials. And of course I like mood very much.

[remingt0n]

Hi,

how do you achieve this very interesting post production pass on the edges to create this "vintage" look ? Looks like a blue channel slightly offset to the right and a red channel slightly offset to the left. I'm not talking about the stereoscopic version here, it's on all the frames but really subtle.
