What's to say this isn't just a drawing? Don't mean to be negative but nothing about that tells you much, it could be in game still or a scene that would look great and run at 2 fps.

Yup, so means little as far as game play goes.

Negative negative negative, they get pestered day in and out to update the web site with news, and when they do always someone ready to shoot them down. Blimey if I was them I would say sod it.

Exactly. Are they designing the box the game comes in or the game itself. I think everyone would be more interested in seeing an actual in game shot of something that an artist concept of what it might look like in the prefect world. It's not being negative, its being realistic.

Yes it's concept art, nothing more. It's how that translates to the gaming engine that will be the key. "David Powell clara.co.uk>" <DavidPowell@<nospam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yep, probably right, they have it all looking nice in MAX then pass through an exporter to make the textures look naff, change all the objects and generally mess it up. "Schooner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:MJ4b9.28245$[email hidden]...

As DP's so kindly informed you <g>, 3DSMax is where the objects for the game get created before being imported. Plus, it does offer a glimpse of their aesthetic sense and the "look & feel" they want the game to have. Solid value in that, even without a 150FPS readout in the corner of the screen. Besides, have you seen ANY other simracing game screens that looked remotely as good? Some real talent there; good on ya, guys - go to it...

no....they are trackside objects that will implanted into the game (same way everyone makes game GFX, just ATM with current hardware your cant push em around at full wack)....Im sure by the time Mr GF5 arrives and the joy of the 3000hzs CPU itll push images of that render about at full chat on 1024x1024pixel textures without batting an eyelid...

Yes I care how RL is going, but I don't care so much to see 3D Studio images that will not translate directly as shown. I'm interested in seeing real in game shots which to date there have not been any. Sorry for sounding negative but to date nothing has been shown proving what the game will be like. Any artist could replicate what they have shown, without even knowing anything about racing or sims in general, just take an old photo and create a similar image in 3D studio.

these chaps also forget the first image you get as you enter the west site (lotus49), is very much identical to what id expect to see ingame. Also should be noted, that you can remove body panels, open doors on cars etc, I think they still believe RL will look like a load of 2D bitmaps like GPL, a shocks afoot i think...

It looks like a render to me, and well.. most companys release renders of their games, before the ingame shots looks good enough. But it gives you an impression of how it might look like "lg042-5" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aki6a6$5tg$[email hidden]... > West-racing has been updated... > The graphics look just gorgeous but I wonder if I could buy the video card > to run the game. > AL > >

I say it's most likely a render, same with the opening page car shot.

All the first screenshots for CMR3 were just renders. I was amaaazed at first at the 'screenshots', then they released real screenshots and the car models looked a lot more like car models I'm used to seeing in games.
