The Perfect Illusion - how real can CGI look?

in art •  8 years ago 

A few days ago, I posted examples of the work of a traditional artist painter, who focuses on motorsports and cars as motives for his oil paintings. If you wish, you can check it out here: https://steemit.com/kunst/@beatminister/malerei-automobile-und-oel-ein-magier-der-leinwand-vom-anderen-ende-der-welt

Now, I would like to present some works on the same subject, but created with the latest technology: computer aided 3D design.
The degree of realism achieved in these pictures is simply mind boggling. As yet, such pictured a re rendered as single frames, but with the progress in computer power, I assume it wont be long before we see real time animations of this quality.
Just to remind you again - there are no photos among those pictures!

Great writeup!
Keep sharing.

Thank you!

Are these seriously not real cars? That's astonishing.

I had never heard of "W Motors", that is a gorgeous car. thanks for sharing.

W Motors is a fairly new company based in Dubai - https://www.wmotors.ae/models
Their cars are among the most expensive in the world, a Lykan goes for 2.5 mio or so. Especially made for the sheiks, I guess.
