getreal, 'mornin, you seem to have acquired what looks like an advertising link on the word "amazed", was this intentional or has someone "got at" this site?getreal wrote:Yes I did. Unfortunatly, it didn't meet my expectations. David Bowie didn't appear at all. Very disappointing indeed.
Neither - it's your browser! Usually some browser toolbar or something. Have you installed or updated something recently? Is there just the one link?Dave B wrote:getreal, 'mornin, you seem to have acquired what looks like an advertising link on the word "amazed", was this intentional or has someone "got at" this site?getreal wrote:Yes I did.

Agreed, but is that always a good thing? I don't consider it art, just another form of graphic engineering. I have a neighbour who can make airbrush images that are photographic in their quality, but it is a "mechanical" process. He is not an artist and admits it, he is a graphics technician. He cannot create anything, he merely copies what is, maybe enhancing it if given instruction and told what is needed. This, to my mind, is the same, the only "creative" part of it is the concept of the giraffes high diving, but that is not art.Alan H wrote:I think it shows just how close to realism computer graphics are. I've seen other examples (and some of the TV ads for computer games) - it can be difficult to tell.
