J-20 5th Gen Fighter Thread IV (Closed to posting)

[Jeff Head]

Has the photo in question revealed anything new or shocking? If not, why would people go through the trouble PSing it? The fact that the photo in question becomes controversial suggests that the guy who made the alleged PS must be very good. So why would a CGI expert doctor a photo showing exactly what the actual plane looks like and nothing new? It makes no sense. Usually,when people PS something because they want the WOW factor. There is no wow here.

I do not think it is a PS...I think it is a CG. Huge difference. Anyone who made a higly detailed 3-D model of the the J-20 (and there are plenty of people who do this type of thing for gaming, and some just for kicks) could and would do it.

In my years working in Engineering, including in the aircraft industry, I was very involved with 3-D CAD/CAM/CAE.

To me, it looks like a detailed 3-D model, as I said. I did not say it was one...I do not know...I simply said it looks like one.

They can make them look so real these days that it is very difficult to tell the difference. One of the differences is the background. In the real world there are variances in the sky/cloud/back ground. That too can be modeled and "depicted" in a model. It can also be removed from a photo. That's why I dimply do not know.

In my view, it appeared there was not nearly enough.

Sky backgrounds can get blown out if there's overexposure and/or heightened sensitivity.

Guys, get off the issue of those photos. I simply made a passing comment about what I thought. It is a meaningless argument, and is getting far too heated and personal. Cut it out. It really does not matter if they are actual photos or if they are a 3D CG Model. We all know the J-20 exists. We all know there is high detail in its undercarriage. Whether represented by a high resolution photo or a high resolution model. So just let it pass.

I know that...and that is fine.

Read my last post.

Let the issue of those photos and the argument about them rest. It does not matter. The J-20 and it's detailed undercarriage and body is real in any case.

agree with Jeff, we should stop this pointless discussion about photography. let's not push samurai to commit seppuku out of shame.

I could be wrong, but everyone on this forum is biased to some degree, some are honest about their bias, and others like to pretend they aren't.

So this is the Sino Defense forum, and I would like to respectfully ask you all to treat our guests and new members with respect, please don't allow others "drag you down" into these little "snarky" comments. Most respectfully brat.

If I'm not completely wrong, then there was an order to stop this discussion on CG, PS or real Image ??!!!
