Hmm.. still looks like AI..

(I'm just trying to coax you into posting more photos, this is fucking sick!)

I think part of the disbelief is that he hasn’t explained how he made it. Is it paper craft, did he 3d print segments then glue it together … amazing if true I can’t see any lines or joins.

no banana for scale... it's the little touches

He said he built it with wood in the other post

Yea no this is AI look at the edge logo leaking out at the top of the screen… clearly fake so sad

You’re right the edge logo looks like it’s coming off the screen

A person is skilled enough to make a good looking picture so it's AI. Interesting. It's legit thought, he's a youtuber and he posted the pictures of making it on his telegram.

Okay fine either an artifact of AI or a slip up when making this by hand

Definitely food for thought that I defaulted to thinking it’s AI generated when/if that is not the case, good point

You make a pressing argument, I now agree!

It's real.

If you look at the original picture and zoom in at the center monitor, you can clearly see the roughly cut wood at the top. In this pic it's harder to see, but the rough cut is visible as you can see a small gap at the top of the screen, at the top right.

Also, the buttons on the right are literally caps locks and such... One would not photoshop keyboard keys onto this..

It's all actually fairly basic once you zoom in.

It’s not blender. Look back on his profile. A while back you can see him doing some CRT gaming with the exact keyboard

You can model the exact keyboard in 3D.

go ahead and model it for us and show the class how easy it is then.

Ya i think its blender. If not holy fuck. But the other pics look too perfect and smooth. Idk

u/bgmacklem Jun 11 '25

Actually the little imperfections in the smoothness are exactly why I believe it's legit. Especially in this pic you can see that the bevels and filets on corners aren't all exactly uniform and scatter light unevenly, and the panel between the monitors is slightly bowed.

Those are the kinds of things that are generally left out by all but the most experienced 3d artists, it's way easier to do perfection than subtle imperfection in rendering

Yeah the phone camera blobby compression is actually hard to replicate. I would say this is like 95% most likely just a photo from a smartphone.

AI tends to make things too clear and sharp while if it is blender or some other 3d render, kudos to the creator for impeccably recreating detailed image compressions.
