Thorsten Schlüter has prepared a number of images for a the CeBIT 2007 booth of a company named 'AVM'. CeBIT is one of the largest (if not THE largest) consumer electronics tradeshows in Europe, leading to a giant exposure.
His work includes a number of visualizations of several products. It's not 100% CG - many of the images are a combination of photographs and 3D elements. The results look extremely professional though and when Thorsten writes that Blender is his workhorse, he isn't kidding!
The coolest part of his work is the giant banner of the booth that was rendered at 13000x8500px. To reach this resolution, he had to use the camera shifting trick that we mentioned earlier.

Nice work. I'd like to know more about his workflow. He says he added the geometry on top of the picture taken by the photographer. These images look so... real .....
Looks very professional indeed. Great work!
.::PiPi::.
Europa is one of Jupiter's moons. You mean Europe right? xD
BTW - the Companies name is "AVM", it's the product line that is called "Fritz!" :-)

You have to be American;-)
@Howitzer, Thomas, thanks, fixed! :)
(Europa = Dutch for Europe :-/
I've gotten up to 3200*6400 before (exr float image) without blender keeling over. Multiple render processes could solve this (though once blender goes 64 bit, it's a non-issue anyway)
Excellent, Thorsten! The image enhancing use you show is exactly why I am staggering up Blender's learning curve. I now see I can do much, much more than I had originally hoped to do with this amazing program. lol- Print prep images to 13000px should do it! :o)
Thank you very much! It's encouraging to see that you are interested in this kind of Blender work.
Hexa, the workflow varies from image to image - you'll find some details inside the thread on BlenderArtists.org. Don't hesitate to ask if you like to get more information.
Cheers
Thorsten
