Starting with a photograph the idea here is for 3D members to try to recreate the image as faiitfully as possible


Photo posters... please include as much detail as possible..camera settings (lens fstop etc) location, time of day, extra lighting and whatever else you feel pertinent


3D members..please state your app and renderer, your settings, render time and as much info as you can for other members to learn from

Are you interested in photos where there is like, a cheap camera apperance (from a cheap camera) with a flash and everything? If so I'm sure I can get some pics of my house and stuff, IMO it would be a challenge to recreate camera flash. So, let me know if youre interested :)

The quality ( and cost) of the camera is not that important, what we want really are interesting lighting images, good shadows, reflections, radiosity ( bounced light)

The idea being to see a real world ( in as much a photo is "real world" ) image that we can try to recreate, again the subject is not as important as the lighting.

Something like a simple scene of light from a window illuminating a chair and say a table with fruit, some glass would be great especially if there is caustics ( refracted light from the glass)

ideally if we have have as much camera info as possible this would be useful for people using renderers such as Maxwell which work on real camera settings

the simpler the subject the easier it will be to model in 3d
