Probably opening up a can `o worms with this one LOL

I originally created this a couple of years ago, to add to a discussion on a forum where the debate was about would we ever be able to achieve photorealism in Daz Studio.
It`s been collecting dust in my Daz Gallery which I haven`t used in a long time.

It`s an "at first glance" image.

Yes I used an HDRI which is actually a "real photo" to add to the illusion.

Inanimate objects such as the really groovy van is easy to make look photoreal.

But it`s humans that are very hard without playing the shadows game, but not impossible if the illusion is set right.

I`m not claiming to have achieved real photorealism, but this was my shot at it to just say "Let me try.... I think I may be able to at least get close".


Thank you as always for looking at my art.
