dimopoulos_d Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I see great works from time to time, being exposed to c&c (well intented of course) and i was thinking... Have you ever seen the perfect rendering? (I'm refering to photorealism of course) Something that can only make you say "wow" and nothing more? That gives no room not even for a tiny suggestion? Where I'm getting at, is this question.... Is it really worth trying to divide the pixel (!) when the overall impression of an image is just excelent?

mahorela Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 this is obviously a thread all about opinion but dude you really need to meet Zuliban http://www.cgarchitect.com/vb/16842-apartamento-1618-a.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 perfect visualization? Two of my favorites: Marek Denko: Street of Memories (when page opens: klick on image to see a larger rendering) Dimitriy Kulakov: Work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimopoulos_d Posted June 29, 2006 Author Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yeah mahorela! You are right. I had not seen his work before. wow. Not many pixels left there to divide That guy is a detail freak!! And yes kurt the work you posted is top notch also. My point is that even if I could find something in those images that could get better, I would never dare to mention it. For 2 reasons. First of all, I'm not there myself yet (quality wise), and second, it would be a shame to critic such great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 No, no reason for critics when the work is perfect. But we can still add som positive comments... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecton3d Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I've been sitting here staring at this thread wondering what it was that bugged me so bad and, after too many years in arch school, I think it's the word "perfect". Really, isn't anything in art, architecure, or design based on relativity... a thing "is what it is" and nothing more. There may be interesting qualities of a work (lighting, comp, texturing, modeling, specific techniques, etc...) but a thing is never really perfect because we all see things differently and carry with us (subconsciously - and other) a whole collage of memory and personal observations/impressions about the world around us. Some would say that it's (it being perfection) when nothing can be either taken away or added in order to heighten the quality or the improve upon the "goodness" of the work which I think gets closer to perfection and the truth about what a work really is. I was in a studio crit the other day when another student said his project was perfect... the prof was an ass to start with but I've never seen anyone (the prof) get so disturbed by the mentioning of the word (perfect) in reference to a work (art, arch, other) and rightly so. Sure there are good examples of quality stuff out there but it's perfection is relative not only upon the intentions of the work itself but of us as individuals...

dimopoulos_d Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Well said tecton3d, but I was not refering to perfection in that way. I was talking about perfection in photorealism. Not being able to tell if the image is a real photo or CG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tecton3d Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Well said tecton3d, but I was not refering to perfection in that way. I was talking about perfection in photorealism. Not being able to tell if the image is a real photo or CG. so it seems that what you're after is more of a technical perfection... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
