Yep, it’s probably real-cgi. It’s
well done.
I attempted one myself in Blender just to see how hard it was,
it was pretty hard, and I dont think mine is as good as his by far:

Took me longer than anticipated, 3 hours incl. rendering.
yeah has anyone seen that fake or photo section at the maya website? The bolt pic in 3donline’s avatar (im guessing he’s the artist who made it) is ultra realitstic too, maybe even more realistic than this one.
At first glance i didnt even think twice whether this was real or not, it just smelt a little 3d. Don’t get me wrong it is ultra realistic but the color or reflection seems a little off and photography on that scale with that depth of field isn’t impossible but isnt easy either.
but has anyone checked out http://arseny.gutov.ru/ ? he is an awesome 3d artist and there are wires of his other pics there if u have doubts
but like someone else said, all these replies it would be good to hear some feedback from him (but by the looks of his web page he must be a very busy man)
but a very very very very nice image!!!
good work!
Maybe he simply doesn’t speak enough english and coined a few phrases, anyone here that can speak russian and willing to ask him to post a wire?

My thoughts exactly. lol.
Anyways, I have no doubt believing this is 3d. I’d be really interested in knowing how he achieved such an amazing realism though!
I love this render. I also love your stuff on your website.
Just wanted to say (even though the guy probably won’t understand this…) nice render…the modeling doesn’t impress me but the lighting and shading is perfect. Nice job with the Blender version also. Was that the normal blender renderer or yafray? …if it wasn’t yaf then I might have to look into trying blender again.
can someone email me when this guy posts a wire frame.
They are all pictures too me, not CG.

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.
If it was titanium or something. There’s gotta be some scratches, maybe even a little rust. They use much softer metals… this is way too smooth and “hard” looking.
It ISSSSS beautiful!!! Just not perfect ! darn close tho!
-edit-
WOAH! that beer impressed me!! Just browsed his site! I thought that WAS a photo… lol

Thanks. That was the internal renderer, Blender has come a long way
since yesteryear [:)]
It has some AA problems though…
I don’t see what’s so amazing about this image. Just an instanced model, some HDRI, and an assload of DOF and film grain. It’s not particularly unbelievable that someone could do this in CG.

excellent render arseny

That’s the beauty of the rightclick method. It works wonders and opens new windows to the mind. Hehehe.
This is a good clean render arseny.

Yeah this is a thread about arseny’s render.

I agree…:wise:
very simple modeling… even don’t know what to say about…
rendered in brazil, no postwork at all.
Fantastic mate!!,
I hope many of you feel really dumb now, cause what went on in this thread was really disgracefull, shame on all of you.
do you have any shaders information of lightt information cause its ****ing nice and realistic yeers m8 
I was one of the first here to doubt you! 
My apology… It’s really impressive
The other 3D is also great on your page!
shader - brazil advanced with glossy reflection.
envirment - HDRI.
no light exsept skylight (the same HDRI)
Dof.
