I think people's ability to imagine scenes, and then render them, are two very, very, very different skill sets. In fact, have somebody render the scene right before your very eyes, or even try to render bugs bunny from the image they see right in front of them.
I can imagine enormous paintings from the Prado in my head, but could I render them? No, and I have decent artistic ability (not great, but I could probably do a decent bugs bunny).
- dorkwood 8y agoI’m not asking them to copy it exactly. I just want them to put everything where it should be. A better example is probably a bicycle. Everyone knows what a bicycle looks like. Ask someone with a great “mind’s eye” to draw one with all the parts in the right place. I haven’t tested it, but my guess is that they’d struggle.
