Artefact Three

When I put together my third questionnaire I created a 3D model based on the flat that I live in. I felt it was important to experiment with a visualisation that I had created myself on a machine with a much lower specification than industry standard. This would enable me to judge the extent to which people can be fooled by CGI.

I decided to keep the same structure of questionnaire containing three images from stock photography websites and my own image. Participants were asked to pick one image out of the four options that they believed to be computer-generated.

The results showed that out of the people who participated, a very high seventy five percent of them correctly chose photo B as the computer-generated image. The main reasons given for choosing this image were unrealistic lighting and the image having a “video game look”. This suggests that the image I created is not necessarily up to standard, in terms of realism. Only a quarter of participants were fooled into picking A, C or D, suggesting that the image used in the questionnaire needs to be improved. In order to achieve the same effect as the images of Alex Roman, CGI has to include a realistic lighting system. This highlights the gap that there can be between the standards of two different computer-generated images. By reworking and improving work that has been done in the past should enable me to create a very realistic image.
