3d Renders - Real or Fantasy?

We all try to preserve the best moments of our life in some way: we keep the rose-colored reminiscences, write about it in our intimate diaries, make photos that capture our radiant smiles and the blissful mood. When time passes and melancholy prevails over the positive tune, we skim our diary, look through the pile of glossy photos and in such a way turn over the unhappiness of the grey day. Besides the beauties of the day we try to chase in memory our own beauty and photos are known to be the best way to do it. Life moves, it flows too fast, we move forward and only photos save the offprints of our memory for the long time. You can argue that photos don’t give us the genuine idea about reality, cause’ they capture something or somebody only in one particular moment, but not in dynamics. Anyway, photography as long as other ways of rendering reality and people remains popular. One of these ways deals with 3D graphics with the help of which we can create the striking offprint of the existing world around us. These models render everything so exactly, that you become puzzled for a few moments and can’t understand whether it is reality or imagination.



This astonishing collection of people in 3D is especially for you.
Are they real or imagine?
