It looks great…but I dont think its real, it looks rendered
Realism: bolts

I really don’t see why people think this is real. I agree that it is truely amazing but come on guys you of all people should be able to spot 3d. I think that it would fool movie go-ers but still to me it seems obvious. Have any of you looked at a screw close up. It has tons of imperfection like the casting between the head of the screw and the actual screw and little dents and scrapes.
Don’t get me wrong this is really really great but I see no reason for wires.

wires are not just to prove something, Sometimes it is good to see how the models were constructed. But in this case hey why not?

I’m holding almost the same kind of screw that they are on that image. It looks almost the same, i can’t see any “faults” on the modeling. Only thing i see is missing, are scratches, but maybe they are new screwes

I’m going to assume any artist who posts here will have the honor to be honest, and if not, all that is hurt is their karma. That said…
Very impressive picture, photo-real to say the least. Though the modelling isn’t all that difficult (especially if using inventor/solidworks), your shader and lighting really blew me away. That’s one of the most realistic metal shaders I’ve ever seen. The lighting is where you really made the picture though, it really pushed your image from good 3D to photo-real. Congrats.
Please post a reply, it’s always helpful for us to hear about the process and techniques of other artists.
If language is the problem, post in russian, I’m sure many here understand enough to get what you say. Keep up the good work!

I’m not saying that the wires are a bad thing to show I’m just saying that I don’t need to see them to know this is 3d. Also Seeing the wires (atleast for me) would show little about the modeling process. The modeling is pretty simple guys. Don’t get me wrong in no way do I think this doesn’t not deserve the prasie it is getting I just am saying that I know regardless or not if he shows the wires that this is 3d. I think it is truely amazing and as stated above the shader and lighting are what really make this a great peice.
Oh and lastly I’m not implying that there are “faults” in the modeling i’m just saying that you can tell this is 3d purely becasue of the amount of amazingly fine detail you can see on a real screw when it is zoomed in to the size of this render.
I think the image is about as perfect as it can get without being reel.

mmmm guys.
Please check his website, I don’t think he is a 3D Artist.
http://www.gutov.ru/ <— which I found from his profile.
He seems like a photographer or painter.

oh come on… have you guys ever heard of hdri?
it’s not bad but not believing it’s a render?!?!?!? grow up!
the DOF is a bit extreme, but that’s a matter of taste… (personally DOF has become the new lens flare! get over it!)
nice enough render (DOF aside) but rustier, scratched screws would show more skillz than chrome hdr reflections and plugin DOF…

check his website? why? I don’t see anything worth looking at on that site. There isn’t one 3d rendered image on his site… its all photo’s and some sketchy paintings. Besides the fact that he hasn’t posted any wires… let alone a response leads me to suspect that this image is a photo… a photo perhaps fixed up in photoshop? dun dun duuuun! I mean most people would post the wire along with their pic… obviously people want to see the wires comon gutov… what were ya thinkin?

I always take peoples advice with a grain of salt. I check their profile and website and see what kind of work they produce.

I think the arguement over whether this is a photo or rendering would be easily satisfied with a screengrab of the wire, a simple enough process.

heh the mystery of the day…
it seams like a render because of the perfect objects and the imperfect grain. On the other hand it could be a manipulated photo, if his intention was to cheat (which I dodnt believe).
He doesnt look like a 3D guy from his site… and even if he was, I dont think realistic renders would be his field, considering his artistic capabilities.
… but I just had a look to his previous threads and he actually looks like a realistic render maniac with some really good stuff.
i just think … that we are all comfused!
please Arseny reply! 
btw. really good stuff in your site Arseny … (if it is yours)

eugene_fraxby your crazy this is obviouly a potograph taken in the excat same location as a hdri image that you have previously seen. hehehe. HDRI doesn’t exist! its a fake as well!!! hehe. god I’m funny.
examples of his 3d work here:

I also once made the joke to put a photo over at the cinema forum … I told some hours later and I tell you noone laughed … it actually got a bit uncomfy for me … didnt try this kind of humor anymore and I dont recomend it too much … specially on front page
anyhow - who sticked the screws on front page … my caustics-fake-photo didnt bring it that far, why him and not me 
my funny caustics attempt
sorry, I must have removed the photo from my server
