Render vs. Photo / Loft Apartment in Kiev by 2B Group
Forum newcomer, Ryan Coyoca, posted one of the best photo-matched renders I’ve seen to date! The real photo actually looks more like the render in this case. The matching render is only a part of a more extensive 3d recreation project of a Loft Apartment in Kiev, designed by 2B.GROUP. Clearly inspired by the works of Bertrand Benoit (and stated as such), it takes nothing from this remarkable achievement. The border between CG & Photography just keeps blurring more and more.
The brick work, which is probably fully photo based, looks so much more real and nicer than the monotonic bricks in the real photo of the loft apartment. What mostly gives away the render is the repetitive wood floor pattern… more attention to that and it would have been harder to pick the right image. One would gravitate towards the empty table image, thinking it was too much of a hassle to mimic all the elements on it
