Realistic Photos - From Vray Setting? Or PSD?

I'm sure that illustrators and painters may use photoshop in combination with a tablet such as a wacom intuos or a wacom cintiq. There is a really good section for that on what used to be cgtalk.

 

3d artists use 3d software and it doesnt necessarily have to be vray. Lots of renderers are able to create realistic results, although i prefer vray.

 

Hope this helps.

Where you notice that there's some effect on the photos..but i am not sure whether is it just vRay setting or with the help of PS? Anyone able to enlighten me about this? I am still missing the realistic effect..being trying to solve this question. :(

The really good images you generally see are a combination of skill and artistry.

 

The artist usually has an eye for composition and lighting. A good eye for creating textures and the technical knowledge in his chosen app to create them. Render settings come in to it to a degree and most of this is based on experience and time spent doing. The technical settings dont make the image, knowing them just helps you get to your solution that much faster. There is also post work in programs like photoshop etc. Colour and tone mapping are fundamentally Vital to get right if you want the photo look. Then there is always their own "style" they inject in to their images. It's sometimes subtle but it is always there. The trend among the best out there is not photorealism but a form of hyper-realism and to quote someone here at CGarchitect "photostylism" (i love that, sorry i cant remember who it was that said it). Hence why the best images are so beatuiful and dramatic.

 

The fun is learning the new stuff that gets you there.
