Terrific! I've seen some of these before at CGSociety.
But now the most amazing thing happened! I browsed through the entire
collection and didn't find the one picture I found the most impressive
3D realistic portrayal ever in all these years. Curious about why, I
searched through my gmail, as I became so impressed with the picture
back then that I mailed it to a few friends. There it is, author's name
"Rod Seffen".
I then go its original thread (I registered in the email) and found that
the original thread is nowhere to be found:
http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=655126
I remember the picture -- a very artistic take on a young nude lady
sitting back on a chair facing side to the camera -- already back then
led some strong reaction from people in the forum. I clearly remember a
member asking "How old is she", to which the author reponded: "She's 3
months old, that's the time I took to create her".
But now, searching for "Rod Seffen" on Google leads to this:

it's such a WTF! Holy crap, man! I'm positively shocked!
Although incredibly realistic it was not a photograph, I'm sure.
Must've taken a *lot* of references to create that model, that's for sure...
BTW, though his methods are not right, the picture itself was pure
artistic nude, not even frontal, not a slight of maliciousness or a
single tit showing.
I'm really shocked at this story...

Most of those don't look as much (photo)realistic as they look like
airbrushed paintings.
Curiously, the more photorealistic ones, at least to me, clearly sink
towards the bottom of the uncanny valley, while the airbushed-looking ones
are more ok.

I was scrolling fast, thinking "obviously CG" for each one, until I came
across "Young girl" and I had to do a triple take. Excellent use of hair and
fur, asymmetry, focal blur, expression. I don't think any of the other ones
come even close. One of my favorite pure modelers is another Korean, Jinwoo
Lee. Coincidence?

I think that's principally because you *knew* that they were CG.
If someone had shown you eg. "Bravery! doughty! heroical" and claimed that
it's an airbrushed painting made by someone, I think you would have easily
believed it. Not so obviously CG.

I think that one's telltale CG, oversculpted and overtextured. Even if you
showed that picture to people 50 years ago, I'd think most would think that
the subject matter is waxwork or a sculpture.

Or an airbrushed painting. (Ok, maybe airbrushing as a technique was not
invented back in the 50's, but at least nowadays.)

From your description of the image, I was sure I'd seen it as well. I
searched for "Rod Seffen", and I believe you're referring to the image
on this page, titled "Portrait of a Girl", which is the one I was
thinking of...

That is quite a shocking story!!!

yes, that's the one! It was taken down from CGSociety, despite being so
impressive (and beautiful).
