You can also use CatRom for crisper renders as well. RobertT claws: For this I used low OSA (Gauss 5) and sharpening node in the render nodes. You can also use CatRom for crisper renders as well.

Wow, I didn't think there'd be any interest in this piece =) I had posted this information back in December 2006 on the first and second pages of the Call for Release Note Example Files for Blender at the time: http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=85196 Joeri: That is why it says "Today" and there's a date of 2006 ;-) I didn't post this information at Blendernation. I just happened to notice today, and it was quite a nice surprise =) Here are some views from Blender: http://artofinterpretation.com/owsviews.html Here was the second version with the de-fractured nose also posted at BA... lol... http://www.artofinterpretation.com/images/oldmanwinterstatue2-byrjt2006.jpg I didn't consider this work ultra realistic myself (I thought the hard/abrupt polygonal edges would have easily given that away), especially considering how fast it came together, but I'm pleased to see it still connecting with people and raising awareness of Blender's potential =) I paid $80 for my card at the time, and it has 256MB =) That was a step up from my prior card, a GeForce 2 440 with 64MB of RAM. It's only a sculptable work with partial redraw activated, otherwise the display can lag intensely due to the intense polys in this piece. Anyway, thanks for the interest! RobertT Hi!

Just tried to find that page again, but since autodesk bought alias, i wasn't able to find it again. Back to topic: If i had to choose fake or foto: i'd choose fake for RobertTs image. But it depends on the fotos you're about to compare. The difference between a good and a bad photo may be bigger than the difference between some 3D-Softwares /rubi There once was a page at aliaswavefront described fake or foto, where you should decide if it was … well… fake or foto

I usually like your opinions and appreciate very much your strong (and long) participation in the Blender community. Maybe it's not a good day for you, because I found your post unnecessarily rude. But still, I gave it a second thought and I didn't change my mind: Blender IS a hi-end 3D software. The reasons for that are already written in my above post, in the case you haven't read it entirely. I think its a bit unfair to pick up just one phrase and ignore the arguments written after that. Blender doesn't have all the features that (put your "hi-end" app name here), but on the other hand, the "hi-end" one doesn't have all the cutting-edge features that Blender has. Wish you all the best. Virgilio Hi, Joeri. I usually like your opinions and appreciate very much your strong (and long) participation in the Blender community.

The lack of AO/GI spots and dots (like in the lego car) make it more believable, as does the DOF on an object that is so poorly lit (poorly as in; not a lot of light, not as in poor taste).
