This Isn't A Painting, It's A CGI Masterpiece

(Video Link)

The computer has become a powerful tool for the artist over the last twenty years, and CGI has reached a level of realism that makes it possible to bring anything you can imagine to life, but digital artists who choose classical works of art as their inspiration really have their work cut out for them!

Farkas Zsolt has created a 3D masterpiece that brings Benczur Gyula’s classical painting Budavar visszavetele to life with hi-res models, and unless you can see the three dimensional contours of each subject it looks exactly like the original painting.

The entire scene weighs in at a whopping 8.5 million polygons, which means it's more poly rich than your average still shot from a Pixar movie, and Farkas was kind enough to include a breakdown of his entire process so both the curious and those brave enough to attempt such a feat for themselves can give it a shot.

That would be amazing, can you imagine how cool it would be to go to an art gallery and check out stereoscopic versions of classical works of art? An animated version would definitely be fun to see as well, with the battle scenes actually come to life before your eyes.

So she Wouldn't call 911 next time she is out drunk driving?
And good job saying on TV that it isn't fair she got a ticket cause she got home without causing an accident. She still endangered lives of other people...

she called...but she still drove home?
why didn't this other person just drive her?
I don't think she deserves any commendation! She stepped up to the glass, not the plate, and then stepped on the gas.
If she was really so worried, she wouldn't have driven, and it is totally fair for her to get, at very least, a ticket for drunk driving. I have no tolerance for crap like that and I don't think law enforcement should either.

HELL NO she didn't do the right thing, she still drove drunk. She should still go to jail, period. F**k this pat on the back business.

@vako - most small towns and rural areas don't have cabs. From the looks of the woman's house and garage, she lives on a farm or at the least a rural area.

I'm not defending her driving drunk, I'm just saying, don't assume everyone in the U.S. has access to cab service.
