A fun discussion on Flickr pointed me to this site that contains a quiz where you guess images as “fake†or “photo�
The site is sponsored by Alias, they have been the king of 3D graphics for many years now. I remember visiting my friend at Alias/Wavefront’s offices in Santa Barbara (back when they were a division of SGI) and seeing all the movies posters up on the walls there—each one had parts that were rendered with their software.
If you take the quiz and get a 10/10, there is a 4 question bonus round.
I managed to “ace†both, but I had to game the system.
Instead of using a standard “Does that look fake or real?†I tried a more “anti-computer/pro-stock photography†strategy. I also figured a 50/50 split between CG and “real.â€
It kind of makes me feel all dirty.
