***"Some of the most realistic renders I've seen, were done by paulwillocks,( http://www.renderosity.com/gallery.ez?ByArtist=Y&Artist=paulwillocks ) this guy is a genius! Any ideas on how to get similar results? Type of lighting, render engine, or others?..."*** That's a great gallery, although I don't see very much "true" photorealism there. The renders are very realistic, but fall short of photorealism in my opinion. Extremely high levels of realism aren't very hard to achieve with the right tools. Lighting and materials are critical. Take for example the link I provided in my post. Check out the video on that page called "test 3" (at the bottom of the page). You'll need the Divx codec to view it, but it's WELL worth it. Now there's some of the most convincing display of photorealism I've ever seen done on a human figure in 3D in any program (the artist used 3dsMax for that, but similar results are possible in other apps too). Anyway, the secret to photorealism is mostly in the materials and lighting. The models, apps, etc. are almost incidental when it comes to photorealism.
