Damn... thats incredible... Ghostalker
Using what computer, a 486? That's over 23 days! ---Majestic- 02:44, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wow!

I can't even take pictures that look that good; the 23-day total rendering time was worth it.

It just looks so real; you could have told me you took the picture with a camera and I wouldn't have noticed! Craig3410 05:03, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

That is an incredible picture. raptor 13:09, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Sir, I didn't really think this was a 3-D rendered thing. So be happy! You fooled me into thinking it was a photograph. --Kitty who? 18:45, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
It really does look real. Excellent work :) --WikiSlasher 10:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

This is an amazing picture. You should be proud of yourself! ▫ Urbane Legend chinwag 23:07, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I love the picture too, and thought that it was just another well-taken photograph. To the maker, just...wow! :) --CrazyLegsKC 03:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rendering of alcohol

I find this picture incredibly realistic, but I can't help feeling that the glasses contents are just red and yellow water rather than, say, wine and whisky. Are there any technical difficulties in rendering realistic-looking alcohol, or was this by design? 84.98.220.28 10:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

What the hell are you talking about? Alcohol (or, more to the point, ethanol) is a clear, colorless liquid. Are you trying to tell me you can tell it apart from water by looking at it? — Mütze 20:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Maybe he's talking about the meniscus? Here it is clear, as it would be for coloured water; for red wine, it would be red. Also wine is more opaque, I guess? I don't think it's worth another 560 hours to render these small details. Gorman 08:04, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maybe someone should add this to computer graphics

Could someone please add this to 3D_Computer_Graphics? Thankx. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.249.77.167 (talk • contribs) 01:25, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
