Really good stuff, a couple had me fooled, you just have to zero in on bits of natural chaos.

exactly, some things are so tedious to do in 3d that it must be real.

I tried it but not sure how many I got right. At the end it didn't say. All it said was Well done, you know how to tell between real and 3d. I didn't register so maybe that's why it didn't say how many i got right.

Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!

ive noticed that they have both a render and the real image and sometimes you get the render followed by the photo or the other way around.

I think the helicopter was made for this purpose
