- inactive, on 11/14/2008, -2/+93I didn't think these were impressing, but they are definitely impressive.
- writr, on 11/14/2008, -6/+38Wait, some of those aren't photographs? The first two look completely real.
- AshsToAshs, on 11/14/2008, -1/+29I cant believe they left out the Weird Science girl:

(possibly NSFW) - Ericdigital, on 11/14/2008, -0/+24The site is already down but it sounds like he grabbed the images from the only site I visit more than digg.
cgtalk.com
You can visit the cgchoice gallery to see some of the best cg work in the industry! It's better to support the cg community rather than some bastards site anyways. - AmyVernon, on 11/14/2008, -1/+16Agreed. A lot of these were utterly amazing.
- StigNordas, on 11/14/2008, -0/+15I can only imagine the artists when the portrait is complete, and how sick of staring at the same face they must feel.

the rest are too 'perfect' imo - ZeNiTH456, on 11/14/2008, -0/+12I was only able to get a few pictures to load, but they are impressive.
Mirrors for the pictures I got:

- FredFredrickson, on 11/14/2008, -1/+12"Impressive"
- FredFredrickson, on 11/14/2008, -1/+12It's actually kind of funny - whenever I've done portraits (I'm an illustrator) I've always found myself feeling like I know the person much more than I did before when I'm finished. It's an interesting experience to know every little detail of another person's face.
- JohnnyRad, on 11/14/2008, -0/+9I think its less about capturing a moment, such as a photo, as much as it is saying "look at me im a total bad ass." Like a tech demo for the artist, plus limited palette's produce the most creative work.
- chaosblade77, on 11/15/2008, -0/+8Wrong. One of them had a cigar.
- tilttv, on 11/14/2008, -1/+9Mirror site? The post seems to be down.
- Honchy, on 11/14/2008, -1/+7Check out the "awesome post" they mention, these are even more incredible:
http://abduzeedo.com/awesome-3d-works - AmazingA, on 11/14/2008, -0/+6Yea, we could have just skipped the renaissance if we would have had digital cameras back then!
As a 3d artist I can say that the more realistic(or surrealistic) something looks, the more talent it took. - SanDiablo78, on 11/14/2008, -2/+7This site always goes down fast.
- Stevethegreat, on 11/15/2008, -2/+7Consoles are weak, only a PC game would be able to create such graphics first. I mean compare Crysis, with any PS3 game and although it came out only one year after PS3 came out, it still blows out of the water everything PS3 could ever draw. Consoles are gaming for the masses but (they're) not any technological miracle themselves, those graphics would make many years (even decades) to reach consoles.
For example the graphics cards coming out in Q1 2009 would be able to draw six times as much detail as any current gen console, imagine that you would be able to put 2 or 3 of them (in SLI or Crossfire) to render for you and that would actually give your PC around 15 times the rendering (in real time) capability of PS3 and that's just 2 years after the console's release. Then again there are no games made to use the PC's superpowers anymore (except Crysis I guess) and that's just sad as the industry falls behind in getting familiarized with the new technologies (they do it in 6-year steps -along with every new generation of consoles-, which is forever for the tech industry), letting a huge amount of potential/expertise in the graphics arena to go wasted... - redscofield, on 11/14/2008, -1/+6lol... i couldn't get past the description and the title... 'impressing' - really???
- TruPhan, on 11/14/2008, -5/+9Amazing images, and truly inspiring. But one does have to wonder, for some of these, wouldn't it have been easier to just take a photograph?
I understand it's an art form, but photo realism can sometimes limit the artist's palette. Still, I envy the skills of these amazing talents. - lostsymphonies1, on 11/14/2008, -0/+4yay none of the pics work!
- cor315, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3last one is definitely the best, the facial hair does it. They're all pretty detailed and amazing but they still don't look perfectly real yet
- davidrools, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3I don't know much about how these are actually created, but if they're full 3d models, you can move, rotate, light, and shade the images more than any photograph. Then there's also the animation potential.
- IAmTheGuy, on 11/14/2008, -1/+4The Hulk didn't really grab me as lifelike.
- sexybobo, on 11/14/2008, -1/+4tutorials
- mihkeltt, on 11/15/2008, -0/+3not just the weird science girl, but all of the models infinite has produced from the universal model. his work is just mind blowing.
- YanSan, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3drawn*
- nepidae, on 11/14/2008, -0/+3They looked damn good but only 1 or 2 actually could pass as real. Most of the other ones (the human ones) either had weird proportions or looked highly airbrushed (though that may say something else about how we are so used to seeing highly photoshopped pictures of real people).
- Gmadd, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2II like how they have the hideous figures interspersed with the hotties. It keeps ya guessing.
- ArtGuy2k6, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2He's an Illustrator, not a caricaturist, although an illustrator can do that, any artist can (FYI, illustrators do things such as watches in an ad in a magazine - sometimes they aren't actual photos, you'd be surprised)
I do this type of stuff, and even though I've been doing it for a couple years now, it still baffles me how they do it - Pinasco, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Can he paint my wife?
- mediaphile, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2They're good, I'll say that much. But they wouldn't pass for photographs as the title suggests.
- godsdead, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2Check out the process of making
http://student.vfs.com/~3d68max/ingridwip.html - gubatron2, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2I'm glad there are people that don't think like you "isn't it easy to tak e a photograph"
Thanks to these pioneers, eventually, 3d animated films might help us make films without the actors actually being there. I can think of films where the actor is dead, or sick, or better action sequences without the need of stunts.
Actors would just sell their image, the performance could be animated.
Eventually they'll do the same with voice, someone records the voice, and software will process it to have the voice of anybody else. - jonshipman, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Gotta love me some CGSociety.
- ukrainial, on 11/14/2008, -1/+3Can't load the page to see if this is on there, but this one has been a favorite for a while:
http://mkor.cgsociety.org/gallery/219323/ - Philbert, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2Ah! I forgot about her. Infinite is really a great artist.
- dha07030, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2Someone should submit that to digg.
- hadak, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2The woman's hair that hangs down by her shoulders looks like a single brush stroke.
- alexjsolis, on 11/14/2008, -2/+4Nice website.
- verynegative, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2They're all 3D.
- Philbert, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2I have a character model I've been working on in my spare time for over a year. To be honest after a while you don't see a face any more. It just becomes shapes and colors.
- koldmilk, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2You can check http://www.cgsociety.org/
- Mujokan, on 11/15/2008, -0/+2It's a bit hard when you are forewarned.
- schoolcraft13, on 11/15/2008, -0/+210 at MOST pass half way buried for being a piece of ***** headline and making front page.
- netneutrality, on 11/14/2008, -0/+2And all that diggers can think about are the potential applications for pornography.
- Sil369, on 11/15/2008, -1/+3all i see are pixels
- bradleyland, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1To the guy who did the rabbits: I'm glad I don't dream your dreams.
- asskicker32, on 11/15/2008, -1/+2I can do more than paint your wife...
- Philbert, on 11/15/2008, -0/+1or 3D Coat
