Huh!?

Haha, what makes you think it's a render?

Probably the decent clarity and dynamic range of the Nikon D90 photo.

It's not so extraordinary that it would make me think it's a render.

Nevermind, I've just been rendering too much. I was looking at the really smooth reflections, glossy surfaces and shadow. It's totally plausible to take photos like that too, but to me usually photos look a bit different than that. I'm not trying to pick on a fight so chillax (although I've got to say that the 'decent clarity' looks like noise on that LCD screen)

Wasn't trying to pick a fight, I was just wondering what caused you to see it as a render. Thanks to your answer, my curiosity has now been satiated

Me neither.

Haha a render? I wish I knew how to do such things but I dont. Heres another view to settle the dust just in case. And dfkt how did you know it was a D90?

Nobody's safe on the Interwebs!

 

 

[darthgator14]

Haha nice. I was just thinking maybe there was some sort of tag that stayed with it.

 

[Nebby]

Yea, EXIF tags are great

You can actually view EXIF tags in the windows file properties without any additional tools.

Why thank you, I'm using Blender 2.5, it's an open-source 3D modeling and animation suite. Those renders are nothing compared to what you can really do with it, but I didn't apply any proper materials or textures and the render is a quickie so the realism is what it is. And oh, it might be a month or four before I actually buy that desktop, since I'm waiting for Bulldozer and AMD HD 6000 series to bring down the prices of current gen stuff.
​

That was some very inspiring work you did there.  Like you, I'm waiting for Bulldozer (and Bobcat) as well before I spent any money.
