High-poly car models for unknown video game

http://www.realeyz.com/ Click on "Portfolio" and then check out the Panoz, Saleen and Lotus. Nice, eh? 25,000 polys each is perhaps three times the poly density of the finest cars that we've seen for Racer (which IMO has the finest cars of any race sim at the moment). Quite intriguing the way he writes "Top Secret... modelled for video game. No more information can be given yet." Anyone any guesses as to the game? Cheers Jim

It's the next release in the Need for Speed series by E.A. It's going to be called "Need for New Computer Unleashed" :)

Fantastic graphics... sportscars... no information at all since 2001... isn't it obvious? ;-) -- "After all, a mere thousand yards... such a harmless little knoll, really" - Raymond Mays on Shelsley Walsh.

Those three marques are notorious for no (or low) licensing requirements in computer/video games. They're hoping to reap a p.r. dividend. (Ever wonder why the Panoz, a car hardly anybody's ever heard of, was in Midtown Madness?) Thus, good guess: it's speculative, not a real, greenlighted game. Better guess: it's just a demo, Jim.

Nope, I've seen the website/work of the modeller on Fafs game, (as well as a screenshot of the game) and the shots above are not from it. Vennt.

Thanx for looking at my car models Jim and Im glad you guys like em. I wish I could tell you more about what they are for. Unfortunately I only know a little myself. I do know the platform, but I dont know the game name yet (they may not even have a name yet). Here is another model I am working on just for fun: http://realeyz.com/misc/panoz_gtr2.jpg Have a ways to go in it yet....mostly the interior. cheers, - todd - realeyz - Todd Siechen - RealEyz Imaging - www.realeyz.com - Reply by removing "SPAMFREE" from address

Great stuff! There is 1 car for Racer that reaches about 20K polygons; that's an old '32 Ford, downloadable at the site. Does wonders to your rendering performance, lol. Actually, it isn't even that bad, well on my GF3. Ruud van Gaal Free car sim: http://www.racer.nl/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/
