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!

WTF? Photo of Iron Man?

Very nice post. Its hard to imagine that some of those are vector.

Nice post ;-) Amazing photos, so perfect, so real…

nice fake… A lot of this pic is foto. Exif data contain info of camera and other foto data.

Nice post. Thanks for including my vector gun!

So much talent out there…

its so coll amazing….how u can do that

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.

3D got some competition with vector, blimey!…*too amazed to finish comment*

Really nice vector graphics. i love when ppl put effort to something good.
BUT!
my2 cents are.. its the crappiest 3d ive seen in long time… last time a saw 3d in this quality is in 1999.

its like a bad commercial trying to promote vector before 3d graphics.
i wld fall for this if i wld be 2 years old.

1. Coffee.. there are tons of coffee cup 3d pictures that are better than this.
2. cars. its a nice render. somewhat dull thou.
3. the worst 3d cookie ive seen, doesnt look like a cookie, more like a spunge that was dipped in the toilet.
4. gun. yeeh it looks 3d. nice model, crappy render. cgtalks wip of the week has stunning 3d gun m16.
5. motorcycle looks really nice.. the enviroment looks dull.
6. 3d parfume looks totally crap.
7. glass with icecubes.. dont know where to start on this photobackground so called 3d picture.
8. phone…. looks like a glossy vibrator with a display glued on to the shaft. almost all apple phone adds are made in 3d. there are better references.
9- phones again..omg.
10. Xbox. have nothing to say more than.. the photo sux 3d render sux. nice modell tho.
11. Iron man. again.. here we go.. who puts up this kind of 3d models on the internet.? model looks kinda ok. but the render sux. whole ironman movie was mostly done in 3d, again you cld have gotten a better 3d picture.
12. video… proofs my introduction.. VHS WTF.
13. 3d car? does it burn? or is the haze a try for some nice touch? seen better Mercedes,BMW,audi,koenigsegg and more makes a lot in 3d.
14 – rest. all 3d pictures suck
