Sony Nexus X Was Faked, Detailed How
Yes, the Sony Nexus X, no matter how much you liked it, was faked. And the person who faked it has come forward and explained how. And seriously, it’s a lot more impressive than you think. The device was 3D modeled, taking cues from many Sony and Nexus devices, creating a realistic but unique device. Then he took photos with his Galaxy Nexus and used them to make the 3D render look low quality, like his Gnex shots. In the end, it took 7 hours of labor to get it all done.
He then details how tech sites (like us!) took the bait. It’s a fantastic read, hit the source link to take a look. As an added bonus, the entire post is styled in Holo UI. Good on you, sir.
It is a good render but it is not unique. Sites like http://www.concept-phones.com/ have renderings this good on a regular basis. It is, in fact, how I met and befriended a Canadian whose rendering skills are outstanding. His first love is Blackberry devices and he has done an remarkable job in creating concepts. His hope is to be "discovered" and contracted to design for them.
