Render B/W - for local art prize entry
-
Decided I'd throw my hat in the ring for the photographic section of our local art prize! I sort of feel rendering is photography!
-
Richard, just to clarify... you sent a render into a photographic contest?

Richard I hope you win and then take great pride in telling everybody that it is a computer generated image.
-
Well they allow digital photography!
-
Atta boy, Richard...I hope you win!! -
Lol... Now you need to win
-
I'll keep my fingers crossed, mate... 
-
If you win, make sure to also send in a raw SU export of the same view!
-
Oh, that's just classic! Which renderer did you use by the way? I love it!
-
Thanks guys fingers crossed!!

Mate it's modelled in SU, rendered in Maxwell as 21 megpixel and post pro in PS! No bump maps, no spec maps, no mxm's just straight SU export. All maps created from scratch in PS.

Here is another quick and dirty from another angle!
-
You must really enjoy pissin' people off to want a bunch of serious photographers to study and consider your fake work...

Hmmm? Not sure I'm aiming for that! I must say that infact I'm actually annoyed that our local art prize isn't open to digital works!
And to be honest I actually DO consider rendering when it utilises all technical aspects of a physical camera to be very much liken to photography!
As the prize allows the entry of digital photographs there is absolutely no way of assessing the originality of the work and I'm sure not one photographer submitting works shot digitally provides the image raw! There is likely to always be post work! So what degree of post work do you feel constitutes an image from being that captured to that produced?
Also what constitutes the capture? A scene of bottles placed purposely upon a shelf? Arranged studio lighting? Artificial fogging? Even a flash! Where does the line get drawn in the sand???
A digital camera in most cases can add a miriad of effects upon shooting! Do these constitute a true photograph!
For me unless they strictly request a negative or slide all is open to interpretation of this artist, and the media chosen! I'd put my bottom dollar that 99% of works we see on magazine covers these days have been digitally enhanced - airbrushed, cloned, colour corrected, level adjusted etc etc, again where is the line drawn?
Again it is not my intention at all to piss anyone off - if anything if the work was to win any award I am not one to lie if asked the question! And then would state my case as to why all forms of digital media aren't permitted for entry even if sub categorised!

Thats an interesting point richard, but i think its important to consider that with a render you can produce effects that do not exist in real life and similarly a clarity that often does not exist in real life. Because of this it strikes me as a little unfair to try and compare a photograph and a render on an equal footing.

Mate I can agree in part with you there for certain! I guess for me it's a little my own little protest that digital art isn't included in our local art prize!
I consider what we do both on a design level and presentation to be interpretive and certainly a clear form of art! Just look at many of the works by several good artist here and it is unquestionable! Sure we can control all aspects of an image but then so can a painter or sculpture!
It actually gets my back up that digital works are omitted from such a prize and more so when digital photography is supported.
In any work even a painting it is unknown the source of their original projection, a painter may well project a digital image and trace upon a canvas! Video again is a supported form??? And in that lies the digital editing and possible animation of aspects!
So I guess this raises so many questions??? And sure possibly some of ethics, I can take that!

Hi Richard,
Great render and I fully support your entry.
Nice as a joke as well...
I appreciate your straightforward Ozzy way of thinking. Photography > Digital photography > digital rendering.By the way, you should have sent that second image. A better composition and better light imo.

Sounds like you are getting to know the Aussie way of thinking these days! Straight up, no BS, and don't look for a pat on the back otherwise it's your shout!
Mate I haven't submitted yet - still playing a bit with camera angle and shadow cast!
-
straight up art right here
-
Another vote for the second image!
-
There is a solution, print out the render at 300dpi, get your cheap ass camera and take a photo of it.
Problem solved and it qualifies.
