I wanted to talk today about photo-realistic entourage. For those of you not familiar with this term, masked images, or textures or 3d compositing. Basically, It is using photorealistic images composited over a 3d rendering or 3d view in Photoshop.
One word. IMAGECELS. I mean seriously, talk about cornering the market. For years I have been using imagecels or realworld Imagery for my compositions. I have to say, no offense to them but its time for some new blood. Ive sat here many times thinking, I could put something like this together. I even bought the URL, texturefly.com. I know cutting out these images is a lot of work but I think its time to get some new images out so that we don’t have to keep using the same tree, or the yellow mini, or the guy in the tie that looks like a car salesman.
I guess I want some feedback on what you would think about a new site taking over the ungrowing market of Photorealistic entourage in the architectural illustration realm. Please post comments on this topic. I would like to know if other people feel the way I feel about our options.
