	Photorealism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Duane Hanson was a rare exception of a photorealistic sculptor, famous for his amazingly lifelike painted sculptures of average people, complete with simulated hair and real clothes.
		Photorealists very consciously took their cues from photographic images, often working very systematically from photographic slide projections onto canvases and using techniques such as gridding to preserve accuracy.
		The photorealist style is tight and precise, often with an emphasis on imagery that requires a high level of technical prowess and virtuosity to simulate, such as reflections in specular surfaces and the geometric (geometry) rigor of man-made environs.

	PhotoRealistic RenderMan User's Manual (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		PhotoRealistic RenderMan requires that texture files be created in a special format that is optimized for the access patterns typically seen during rendering.
		PhotoRealistic RenderMan implements a large number of useful extensions to the RenderMan Shading Language which are not described in the RenderMan Interface Version 3.1 Specification.
		Secondly, this map is used by PhotoRealistic RenderMan to determine, during the rendering of a frame, whether a piece of geometry is the closest thing to the light and therefore illuminated, or if something else is closer and thus it is in shadow.

	Non Photorealistic Rendering
		For Non-photorealistic rendering (also known as NPR) is the opposite of photorealistic rendering; which is to render out images from a 3D environment that do not look like the real world at all, and to stay away from the realism.
		The basic idea of NPR is to use 1D textures with mostly three shades: shadow, normal, and highlighted, and set each vertex’s texture coordinate to a number proportional to the total intensity of light it receives.
		NPR is also good for story boards, since it gives the audiences a basic idea of what the story is about with pictures that are better than hand drawn, and it gives the audiences a little bit of imagination of how the actual animation is going to look like.

	Photorealistic Rendering - Pille Wiki
		Photorealistic Rendering is the art and science of producing, through the means of computer algorithms, images that imitate real life scenes as much as possible.
		Nevertheless, the production of single photorealistic images is nowerdays closely linked to the generation of images series.
		This is mainly because requests for photorealistic rendering come chiefly from film industry and the merit of a single images is small compared to the production of a series of images.

	Non-Photorealistic Rendering by Gooch & Gooch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The ubiquity of computer-generated imagery around us, in movies, advertising, or on the Internet is already being taken for granted and what impresses most people is the photorealistic quality of the images.
		Pictures, as we have often been told, are worth a thousand words and the information tranported by an image can take many different forms.
		A summary of non-photorealistic rendering algorithms, as well as pseudo-code for producing some of the images, is included.

	ComPilots Aviation Portal - Idaho North - VTP Photorealistic Scenery
		This kind of photorealistic scenery is specifically and well adapted for Pilots who really like to explore areas - bush flights pilots - and it is highly recommended to all those who like to fly VFR - following maps.
		This kind of photorealistic scenery is specifically very good for low flight altitude VFR - as it offers complete transparency to Vector data based scenery - as for example the FSFreeware United States Roads and Railways scenery (a Freeware Package) - and our USA Waters scenery package.
		Vtp photorealistic scenery only have one disadvantage: especially in high raised terrains - where the simulator is a bit slow to match tiles into each other - producing some lines between tiles.

	Scalable Photorealistic Rendering... (Abstract) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Photorealistic rendering of complex scenes poses computational demands as great as those of any large scale scientific or engineering calculation.
		This paper describes an application of scalable parallel processors to photorealistic rendering of complex scenes by Monte Carlo path tracing.
		The application uses scalable implementation methods in order to achieve good performance on large numbers of computers and on models which require large amounts of data.

	Stylized Depiction: Non-Photorealistic, Painterly and 'Toon Rendering
		In computer graphics, photorealistic rendering attempts to make artificial images of simulated 3d environments that look "just like the real world." So non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) is any technique that produces images of simulated 3d world in a style other than realism.
		Psychologically, photorealistic rendering seems to imply an exactness and perfection which may overstate the fidelity of the simulated scene to a real object.
		Frédo Durand brings the perspective of Art History to the analysis of stylized depiction, and proposes a classification of techniques for stylized depiction according to four criteria.

		I just wanted to hear people's opinions on photorealistic textures when it comes to games.
		Posted - 7/10/2001 2:20:19 PM Well, both photorealistic and nonphotorealistic have their places.
		I'd expect, and be disapointed not to see, photorealistic textures in simulation games, while some game set in some distant odd sureal landscape probably wouldn't be as good if it had photorealistic.
