Fake or Real?

See these images above?

Today’s digital technology is so good that sometimes it’s hard to tell whether an image is real or computer-generated (CG).

Of course, we’ve been exposed to CG imagery in movies (and recently TV) for years now, and oftentimes for me, I can instinctively know something is not “right” about an image and know it’s been artificially created.

At the same time, however, sometimes you just want to enjoy the story.

I guess it’s just that once you know the sleight of hand behind a magic trick, then the trick (and future tricks) loses some of the aura of coolness, as you’ll always be wondering.

In any case, the above images make up a challenge from software maker Autocad.

Can you tell which ones are real photos, and which are computer generated?

I got 9 out of 10. What about you?
