This is probably one of my favorite post.
Here you have a list of subjects divided into three categories: photorealistic vectors, photorealistic 3D models and….normal photos.
Can you see the differences?
Can you guess which is vector? And which is a normal picture?
Let me know ;)

All I can say is wow. I had to go back and reread the article because for a second I thought I was day dreaming. The picture vs 3D doesn’t surprise me so much, it’s the vectors! They sometimes look better or rather richer than the 3Ds!
oh! i faint to this photos…
WTF? Photo of Iron Man?
@Yoko: Eheh, yeah. From the San Diego Comic Con 2008.
Very nice post. Its hard to imagine that some of those are vector.
The vectors killed me!!! They’re so perfect and so real… well almost real! It’s incredible!
Nice post ;-) Amazing photos, so perfect, so real…

Wow…amazing. Every time I think I’m getting good with vector art, things like this remind me just how far I have left to go. I’m humbled. :)
Great post!
nice fake… A lot of this pic is foto. Exif data contain info of camera and other foto data.
@Andrev: Mmmm, for example? For each vector you can find the outlines…
Nice post. Thanks for including my vector gun!
So much talent out there…
I don’t like 3D modeling
its so coll amazing….how u can do that
tanks admin very nice!.
Many of the 3d shots are let down by bad DOF (Coffee/Water), bland gradients (Video/Perfumes), and scale issues (Coffee). The vectors are stunning though, the artists attention to detail with reflections, refractions and caustics shows that they’ve studied real world scenarios. Too many 3d artists rely on check boxes at render time for real world physics and it shows in these examples.
Seriously..3D renderings really turn the whole new level for all people. Don’t you agree? If you did not mention anything that the photos are 3D i thought they are real pictures! Glad that i am learning 3D and do my best to be their level.
