Of course, anyone can load a photo onto a plane and then render it. It will look very convincing. lol.


Wolf, it's not the model and the fact that we recognize it that makes it look like a render. It's the way the model looks like a flat image pasted onto a flat background. There's something seriously wrong with the lighting because the human appears to have a sharp outline. And the resolution of the background doesn't match the resolution of the skin texture.

Plus, he's naked, bald, and expressionless -- a sure fire indication that it's not even a photoshop cut out job.

Not bad at all for a few clicks, though. But as I said, you still have to do extensive fiddling to get a convincing image. :)
