photo or 3d?

[JockeTC]

me and my friend are arguing about a pic of a Mazda 323F...

I say the car's animated, he say's it's real... please.. is it real or is it fake?

[NightEye]

It's either photoshopped or a 3D model...

1) The reflections on the ground are reddish, but the car is black
2) the reflections on the car itself doesn't match the environment perfectly IME (In my eyes )

But it's not animated, since it's a pic

Well it was for sale last week...

And the reddish on the ground is the asphalt.
And if you watch at the right side of the car and in the front window you can see in the reflections that it stands on in a tunnel down from a rooftop-parking.

I definately declare it real.

i think its not a real photo

i dont know exactly why, mabye ity seems a bit out of proportion or too "perfect"

I think it might be fake...not completely sure....take a look at the attached pic...and look at the width of the gaps around the front light....especially the left hand edge gap....on the pic a got off the net ,after alot of search might I add, the gap is a lot bigger....then you can also say similar for the bottom edge...but the one I got is thinner.

I could be way off......I couldnt say its deffinately fake from this tiny piece of evidence.....

If its real....Its a nice looking car...
If its fake...I send out my congrats to whoever may have produced it.

the shadow on the wall (near the top) is very sharp.
similarily, the shadow on the ground should also be somewhat sharp.
also does not seem to match the angle.
i would expect there to be some kind of glare, of more specularity on the car

one more thing, reflection of the guy taking the picture?

my verdict is that it is fake, but a very good fake

[SuB-ZeuZ]

Its real

Why dont the reflections match the environment? do you know how the environment looks like? no, you only see a small part of it.
Hmm, you cant see the reflection of the guy taking the pic, car paint isn't that reflective...

Look at the attached pic, do you see the guy taking the pic? no..

[NightEye]

Actually, yes, you see something in it. Look right of that little intake on the bumper :wink: (You may have to brighten it up)

Flexdude found a really good shot of the car: it holds the answer!

As U can see in the "enhanced" version I posted there is a discrepancy between the edge I marked on the grey pic and the one on the blue car (real one)! The real car has an edge on the hood continuing to the side!

To me it's clear: IT's FAKE!!!
"Smelt" like that in the first place!!!

no you sucka
some shadows and reflecion cancel the forms of a car sometime
what if the lighting doesnt show that edge
i think its a real pic look at the tires
their as wet as their environment
