Is this a real picture or CGI?

Is this a real picture or CGI?

Looks to me either like CGI or extremely enhanced by CGI. Seems to
have a sort of "plasic" patina to it. Is an actual photo of a pristine
new car not good enough anymore?

No, it's not. Advertising execs are all pressured to put pizz-azz on
the fast burn cycle. This way, they can lie as much as they want to
without so many people noticing. CGI gimmicks, cartoon drawings, etc -
anything but the honest truth. It's all so disgusting to me I no longer
pay any attention because if I wanted to be lied to, I coulda stayed
married.

I have a friend that spent some time in the military and across his
desk used to come paper work stamped "UNA". What did "UNA" stand for?
Why, "use no abbreviations", of course.

Sure, but SNAFU is always in force so no stamp is needed for it.

In the UK military we had a term "unserviceable" that was abbreviated to
"US" . For a period I was in on a base shared with American
personnel. Who were always slightly miffed that al our broken kit was
labelled "US"

Air brushed by the look of it.

There'll be a picture of a car somewhere under the effects.

Looks CGI to me because it is so distorted, even more
than a wide angle lens, no? I am like so ignorant about this
that if I'm right it will be an accident. Imo, that is an ugly car.

I feel sorry for you, and for anyone else who gives a good goddamn.

It wouldn't really be right for the Matrix to be anything other than
CGI, would it?

It's a real photo that's been dodged and burned. It looks like the top
surfaces have been burned in. The rest is just superb lighting.

The way it is lit is just stunning. Take a look at the catch lights and
the shadowing and you'll see that the lighting is very simple, but it's
some of the best modeling I've ever seen. You can really feel the three
curves of it.

It appears to be one longish softbox almost directly overhead. A bit
of fill to soften the shadows.
