3D Artist Kenichi Nishida showcased this impressively realistic CG portrait of a golden retriever that is indistinguishable from a real photo.
Kenichi Nishida crafted the 3D model with Houdini, Maya, Substance 3D Painter, Nuke, and UVLayout. The artist masterfully recreated a dog's appearance and behavior captured in a photo-like image, replicating lifelike proportions and the overall look. The visualization of fur, especially with snowflakes in it, is astounding – it looks highly realistic without being overloaded with details.
