I'm saying rendered. The scratches on the metal looks too uniform, but these days it's getting real hard to tell by the nekkid eye.

If it's rendered, the artist did a bang-up job on the reflection of a face in the metal.

I work with a lot of 3d modeling, I know that is rendered, but yes, the artist did a phenominal job on it

Like, just seeing some of the stuff made with 3d max and Form Z, I can tell by the materils used in things...it never looks natural. Ppl always show me their work that looks very real, but i always think it looks obvious

check out some of those^^ they look fantastic, but I can usualy tell they are fake...they have this unreal aura about them I pick up on

That's a Render, Baby!

Umm, that's what I voted for anyway. Really hard to tell, but given enough time a Render can look better than Real.

thats the other way I can tell...nothing in this world is perfect...and a lot of the "real" renderings make it do just this...it comes off as fake to me. There will always be inperfections in this world, nothing can change that
