	Photorealism Art Style Information at Buy Art
		Photorealism is the genre of painting resembling a photograph, most recently seen in the splinter hyperrealism movement.
		However, the term is primarily applied to paintings from the photorealism art movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, known at that time as New Realism.
		As a full-fledged art movement, photorealism sprang up in the late 1960s and early 1970s in America (where it was also commonly labeled superrealism, new realism and sharp focus realism) and was dominated by painters.

	Informatix Software International: Piranesi: Beyond Photorealism
		This is qualitatively different from laborious process of setting up material parameters for photorealism, waiting for a trial rendering, seeing what is wrong, adjusting the parameters, rendering again and so on.
		Photorealism has been espoused by the computer graphics community because of its determinacy.
		If you specify all the light sources, the optical characteristics of all the materials, and simulate the physics of light with the utmost fidelity, then the resulting image is fully determined; there is nothing left to the imagination, and it is the ideal subject for a computer program of the old-fashioned kind.

	Photorealism: Why not just take a photograph? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I agree whole heartedly! Photo realism is an odd decision for an artist focused on fine arts. Rather than executing an exact reproduction of people, places and things, why not just take a photograph? Photography in itself is an amazing art form.
		But in many cases they obviously had chosen the photorealism for reason of catching a given image/scene rather than to interprete it, or to put down their perception of the scene or image, because they had no idea how to do so firsthand.
		Photorealism mostly is not creating a message by its own - it is a copy, if really a photo was used!!

	Comments for: The Onslaught of Photorealism - ja.zz
		Regarding photorealism: I do hope that it's achieved so that game artists are perhaps more likely to pursue alternate routes (such as in some of the games showcased in this article), but for the most part graphics that push for it no longer really excite me unless they're done well instead of gratuitously.
		It was great because it was different and totally fit the concept of the game, while, at the same time, allowing the developers not to have to focus on high-res polygon models or texturing.
		Agreed, HL2 is a good example of proper use of near-photorealism, and it's great for simulations...but the nonstop love for older games and their pixelly look is a reminder that perhaps photorealism isn't the end-all, be-all of gaming.

		These are all very slow processes, and have to be applied beforehand, removing the possibility of correct dynamic per-frame lighting - a blow on real-time photorealism.
		If you can't remember it from your school physics lessons, refraction is the name given to light getting 'bent' as it goes through a transparent or translucent object (due to the speed of light being different inside the object rather than in the air).
		The closest thing any of us are getting to photorealism is the u2 engine that unreal2 and ut2k3 are using.

	O p e n W i k i - Photo Realism
		A reaction against abstract modern art, photorealism aimed to represent 'reality' as faithfully, objectively and neutrally as possible, always using photographs as a source.
		The conceit was that these paintings did not present an illusion, but rather the literal transcription of a photograph, in all its banality, and so were not a throwback to pre-modernist styles.
		While photorealism in painting was a conceptual artistic movement, photorealism in computer generated graphics emerged from the confluence of computer science and industrial requirements:

	Audrey Flack - photorealism (Site not responding. Last check: )
		It was acceptable to paint from a photograph, and many great artists did this, but it was not aceptable if the painting looked like a photograph.
		She was the first photorealist painter to get into the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in 1966.
		She received some critical acclaim, but there were also many who questioned the validity of photorealism and saw it more as a weakened form of pop art.
