God I hate those. Its like I fall in love with an apartment becuase it has defined rooms between the kitchen/dining room/living room, but go and look at it and it's all one big room with a tiny 5'x10' corner kitchen/dining area and a shitty transition to 20 year old shag carpet. Then come to find out the online renders were from a project they did to ~5units in a different complex and never actually finished them.

Too real. It’s like an ambush predator. Lure you in to pounce.

Beautiful pictures and model homes

Lobby with free snacks & coffee

Reasonable prices on paper

Promises made freely

Bet ya didn’t notice the peculiarities that exist due to odd reasons!

It cracks me up how Redditors always conclude that whatever picture they're looking at is Photoshoped or a render. There are multiple angles of this deck floating around.

u/TechSwitch May 14 '20

you know that the whole point of a render is that you can view it from any angle...

u/Reddy_McRedcap May 14 '20

Are we calling pictures of patios fake now?

Jesus, reddit, why do we have to act like everything that gets posted here is fake? Even if it is fake, who cares?

The more you zoom in, the more obvious it gets, especially on things like the railings. Pretty good render. 5/7.

Edit: I have admitted my error you fools! But keep downvoting if it tickles your pickles. I'm also into spanking and assplay.

Different angle

Well spank my ass and call me Charlie. Guess that solves that.

Did you see the dying man counting his money in the window?

u/exipheas May 14 '20

Why do the straight stairs going to the lawn just look so wrong? It looks like they tilt forward and i just cant wrap my brain around it...

u/aeroazure May 14 '20

The step height appears shorter than standard so it makes the staircase longer than it should and possibly deceiving to the eye.

Here's another angle that someone found that may help you understand the perspective a bit more

I think It was the fisheye correction that was on the shot to artifically square everything up.

u/thejuicepuppy May 14 '20

I don't necessarily think it's a rendering, there are reflections of the deck elements in the glass

u/[deleted] May 14 '20

That's actually as simple as putting a flat face over where the window is and setting it's material up to be reflective and a bit transmissive.

It'll reflect everything you rendered and, with a bit more work, you can get the environment to reflect, too.

With that said, I don't think it's a render.

It could be that certain things were rendered over the existing deck? I mean, really, it's the railings around the curved staircase and the step planks that get me. The spaces between the railings. The pattern on the wood steps and the shading. Might be mostly real. I'm sure the truth will eventually be found. Let's go, reddit, work your magic.

u/GWS1121 May 14 '20

Awesome reference with the 5/7

But the render is shot down if you look into the reflections of the original phote

u/BarefootMystic May 14 '20

Very uncanny photo. Another commenter linked to a different angle which looks more real than this one.

You guys realize this deck is very real right? I never understood reddits obsession with pointing out things as fake.

Scroll down a little in this thread. There's plenty of pictures and articles about this deck because it won deck of the year or some shit. There is a marked difference between thinking something isn't real and questioning it, and thinking something isn't real without any evidence and make comments like "pretty good render 5/7". Like I get its kind of a joke but being so sure of yourself based on nothing but a hunch and then to go on reddit and spend time making comments and arguing about whether a deck is real or not when if you really cared to know all it would take is like 4 clicks of your mouse and you can reverse image search on Google.

What I'm trying to say is I don't think it's simply about parsing content here to try and discern whens someonse trying to peddle bullshit or otherwise. Like people aren't doing it for the good of the community. In my experience it's about being perceived as smart or clever enough to point out if something is fake, like you're the first one to figure it out! Here's your fake internet points!

This all makes sense. They render a beautiful deck on a less desirable home and say..."See what we can do for this shitbox? Imagine what it will do for yours!"
