  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.

 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.
