[ivox3]

What ? ..like a rare-earth element with a half-life of 30 seconds ?? It doesn't even deserve a life that long ... lol..

[JDHill]

Deserve's got nothin' to do with it.

All I can say is Maxwell is my main rendering engine. But if Form-Z ever gets a V-Ray plug-in, I am buying it.

I like options.

Somebody had to be first

First to what?

Somebody had to be first

First to what?

First to say: "Mine is bigger than yours" again.

This thread is awesome... why is it called "Is that it For Version 2 Announcments"?

[def4d]

This thread feeds itself, while waiting patiently i think...

It will surely turn into cooking receipts discussion or species in danger...

[Fernando Tella]

cooking receipts discussion

Hey! I never had such discussion.

[def4d]

Same here, but i do regret today, maybe Hervé could join us on this?

This is hyperrealism, old as world

We have the same ambition, but via computers !

You're quite wrong here. Take a look at Rembrandt's "Nachtwacht" (specifically the hands), and his late self-portraits. Then take a look at the paintings of Chuck Close, Philip Pearlstein et al. Hyperrealism treats every single detail equally, thus doing away with pictorial hierarchy. Rembrandt did the opposite.

Er, sorry, I'm a nerd.

Very good point and well articulated, Rembrandt/Frans Hals gave the illusion of hyperrealism using artistic discretion.

[Stinkie7000]

Hmm ... didn't mean it like that!

[Hervé]

Stinkie7000 ....Tell me what else do you see with the hands of the guy showing the way in "Nachtwacht"... look closer... let your imagination go wild... heehe..
