These are not real photographs! They are a stunning collection of computer generated images created by professionals.

A reddit user(republicrats) shared these images on Imgur. He named the collection, “3D Renderings of Humans” and they elicited strong reactions from some of Reddit users. It’s hard to believe that these images are not captured by camera. The expressive eyes, textured hair, scattering light to the skin, subtly rendered makeup, realistic clothing and amazing backgrounds are astonishingly lifelike. The images look like they were taken from real life.

3D rendering is the process of creating a 2D video or image from a 3D model with the help of 3D computer graphic rendering software. As technology advances, it’s getting easier to produce better 3D images using the help of programs like Sculptis and Lightwave. This in turn is opening up a load of opportunities in video games production, film creation and many more.
