lots of post processing in photoshop, which is why it looks really good~photorealistic
i have been working on it for a long time, trying to copy exactly a reference picture i had.
Wireframe please! 
Nicely lit.

wow, very nice, a wire frame over a transparant image would look cool
nice photo 
… muddle up photo and cg ?
All the above!
very close to photoreal
the blur and the reflections really make it look great.
the handle mounting points look a little strange.
i like it.
It looks like a real photography…
And I think it’s one… (can I doubt ?)
If it’s a CG, so congratulations…
Yes, could we see a wire ?
Bye
WizardNx.
kill more for being negative but i dont think this is CG.i dont see a thing wrong with it…and if it is cg, show us a wire frame, and give us multiple renders…and you will be my god!
yeaaaah a fly case !!!
very close to photoreal, very very good!!
I’m sorry to say this, but I don,t believe this is 3d.
if it is, WAY TO GO! but I really don’t think it is
the grain…isn’t really photoshopish…more camera like…too much realistic.
You changed the color in photoshop it seems…if you wanted a more realistic look you would have gone for more normal color scheme…
there are caustic…so it must have been rendered in yafray…and I never saw caustic look that good in yafray…
so that, why I’m kidna sceptical…
I’ll be waiting for the wireframe…but man if you don,t give us wireframe…you really dropped low in my mind for doing such a thing…it’s plain stupid
My first reaction was: “This can’t be CG”,
so let’s see a wire please ;).
Otherwise, truly great work.
And I’d really like to know how you made the dark spots under the metal things on the corners (don’t know what they’re called)
Excuse my skepticism, but this looks exactly like one of the the photos here: http://www.higuchi-inc.com/watchbox.html
damn! haha, nathan just got told.
bad nathan! bad! now, go to your room.
Hhahhahhaha, First of all, Great joke, second, I know blender for some years now, and I’m 100% sure it’s not a 3D render. It’s a photo. The reason why I think it’s a photo is, did blender ever supported this: The metal handhelds make a light reflection on the box itself. Like when you have a ring lying on a flat floor, it makes a lightning effect on that floor, sort of light reflection from the ring. And I know that blender doesn’t support that. If it was rendered with Yafray I should have seen grains and noise. So:
- blender doesn’t support light reflection from metal to ground.
- if it was done with yafray, we should have seen some little noise.
- the lightning is very strange, blurred, and so is the render itself (photo)
So if you thought you could joke with the blender monkey’s, post a wireframe and .blend file. 
damn! haha, nathan just got told.

LOL! That was fast :P.

Wow i never thought any one would do something like that.
There just isnt a reason to do that. We all got excited that someone had done something that good and that it was even possible. Now we have been showed the truth by Sketchy.
Its also funny he hasnt posted since this post lol
You could of at least changed the file name
Hehe, i knew this would happen sooner or later. Nice try though, maybe next time if you dont get kicked out the the forums, lol.
