Real..because I was there in April of 2004. Pics to prove it too.

Pic from the boat...

Inside the red-roofed church.

Pic on the boat that takes you there.

BTW, it is the Konigsee.

Just b/c the place actually exists doesn't mean the photo can't be rendered.

But I'm not saying it is rendered, I voted for real....just saying that a real place can be rendered as well.

WTF are you saying? I don't get it...what would they "render" with the image? add something? It matches up quite well with my picture (not counting the different season/weather).

Maybe they're coming out with a game based on the experience 😛

I think he's saying people make thier own renderings based off of real pics. It'd be quite the challenge, so I'm sure a lot of people do it...

IE, now that someone's seen that pic, they try to render it by hand.

I voted rendered, because I've seen many very detailed renders lately that look very real (at high res), but have a sort of surreal lighting effect that looks very similar to that pic.
:speechless:


I can't find the pics, but I've seen high resolution renders that are so damn good it's hard to tell it's fake. If you took something like that and made a low res blurry image out of it, it would be impossible to tell.

Just saying that someone can make a computer cgi image of the statue of liberty. The statue is real, the place is real, etc, but that image was produced through some software. I might not have the correct lingo down, but that's what I was trying to say.
