Have a look at this picture on Highend3d. It´s incredible:

I'm having a hard time with this one, .....I think I'll need more than that wireframe, but it that's a render, ...then to the 10th power.

Awesome, excuse me now while i go puke!

I can't see enough corresponding details in mesh.

Exactly.

Not saying it's not the real deal, ....but maybe a little more evidence. The lower left lobe of the heart seems 'iffy' in comparison.

This statement, by the artist :That is...In different layers i painted up specular/ static shadow and highligt and so on to make sure that it fitted all together before I even started up maya
does that make sense? ...

Let's have a look , ....yeah ?

Alright, ....til proved otherwise ---- I'm calling it a hoax. ....sorry.

Looks like a photo mapped onto an object, projection mapping from the camera maybe [I can see stretching lower left, south-east of the cream area].........as he says no UV mapping [which would indeed be impressive!].........but in three weeks [stated project time] I bet we could all do a pretty neat Pshop job and nurb up an adequate mesh. No?
I'm not convinced anyways.....

Yes, this could be an awesome planar mapping tutorial ROFL

Here's my fav part which puts me on the floor

For this particular project I knew that I was never going to se the other side of the heart, therfore it was sufichent with modeling from on side, so I could don 180 sweep around it atleast. The heart now looked great in a stillframe... but not in animation...it was to static

I agree with all the statements above and it´s really hard to believe that this is CG. But it´s very interesting to see how the members of the board analyze the techniques that could have been used for this picture/rendering (?). I´m ambivalent about this and but I tend to say it´s a photo.

OK, I'm straightforward to say it's a photo, let me be wrong.

Should we start a poll: photo or CG?

I guess he could have added details later in Zbrush. Judging from the speculars, it doesn't look like a photo but a render. But most likely a photo projection mapped onto the model.

Hehe... what do you mean? Was it that easy saying "hey this is my render" with projecting a photo on a poor detailed object? Oh no... it means it's still a photo.

carpaint meets SSS

always amazing to see that little pump guys... nice photo...
