Can you distinguish a CG image from a Photo ?

[fleuf]

Hi every body !
I am 20 and i am studying in 3D animation. In an english class, we have to do a research related to our studying program. We decided to pass the ''autodesk test : fake or photo challenge'' to different group of people.
Then we will have to develop some conclusions from the results we will have claimed.

So if you can take a 5 minutes break to do this test you will make our team happy !
So please just tell me the result you got on your first try and on which images you losed points.

Fake or Foto? - The Challenge
The second image is broken so i give you the image in an external link:

To thank you, I will post our final work once it is done if you are interested to take an eye on it! There will be our observation and the comparaison between different group of people.
Thanks a lot ! I hope you have fun

I already have it done by a 3D artist forum which i will give you the results once the document is done
PS: you will have understand that i am french ^^

I got all but 3 correct. The CG is quite decent here. two of my incorrect guesses were guessing "real" for things that were actually CG. There are definitely still tipoffs, though, which are usually not technical problems, but problems of taste and style. The CG guys cannot resist leaving the shadows a little too open.

Thanks you for your results and especialy for your feedback
You make me realize that having somes feedback on our CG work from photograph can be very teachful.

I got 11 out of 12 correct. I got the 11th one incorrect.

Nice...I missed 5. There's some really clever CG work in that collection. Unbiased rendering can produce totally photorealistic results. The ones I missed were the ones that were really good at hiding the procedural texturing. Particularly the voronoi textures, which everyone in CG uses and it makes it stick out like a sore thumb.

I missed 3. I should have gone with my gut instinct about that grassy landscape. There's too much dynamic range to come from a digital sensor. XD

And now that I look again, the bathroom one was obvious but I still missed it. That toilet paper looks too perfect. Or something. lol

I got 9 out of 12 correct. I missed 1,2 & 4.

FYI, the larger version of #2 wouldn't load, so I guessed.

100% correct I did CG back in high-school and learned the clues to spotting CG shots. I think I took a test similar to this one.

I missed two, the chair (I said real) and the bathroom, wow I said real too.

 

[Forkie]

I got 4 wrong.

I said these were all real:

Chair
Bathroom
Helicopter
Pizzeria street

I got pizzeria street wrong. I got fooled by the slanted horizon!!!

I tried, but I couldn't enlarge the plane, frog or bug images. So my results would be skewed.

5 correct!!!!

I got pizzeria street wrong. I got fooled by the slanted horizon!!!

Ditto. I only missed that one as well.
