I am really into 3ds max, Photoshop and After Effects...any Photoshop users out there? This is nothing new but thought I'd pass it along. Novice Photoshop users can do this with ease and it's pretty cool. You can take any photo and make it look miniature: http://www.tiltshiftphotography.net/photoshop-tutorial.php If you're interested in what computers can REALLY do check out the artwork on these forums here: http://forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=121 Most of these were done using a 3D app. like Maya or 3ds max etc.

Here is one of my image I made with Terragen 2 (Beta) You can get both Terragen and Terragen 2 here: http://www.planetside.co.uk/ warning- This is not a real image. No photography was done, it's all designed with a 3D program 3DSmax - not much , I'm very amateur with that, but I've been using Photoshop Also for 5-6 years now.

Cool...nice images. I've tried the program out before but went with Vue instead. http://www.e-onsoftware.com/ They're both good really. 3ds max has a steep learning curve....been using it since version 5(about 8 years now?).....the good thing is that nowadays there are so many sites out there with free video tutorials to help you learn. (not too many want to sit thru and read 6,000 pages in pdf files)

I have a version of Maya that the internet gave me and I even bought a book to learn how to use, but I have just not taken the time play with it. It is one of those one of these days projects.

There's actually a ton of them out there if you look on photography websites, but they never reach the real thing - guess that's why canon and nikon can charge a few grand for the fast lenses that do it well. as a photog, the thing that bugs me most is that the plane of focus is off in that there is no gradual fade over the entire image, it's very sudden and the entire top half of the frame is evenly blurred. not to mention bokeh and blur are nothing alike. sorry to go into photo nerd mode, but I'm extremely anal when it comes to my photography lol. so yes, i use photoshop extensively.

The pictures above is from a program, and I think they look good for a program generated from software.
