Colin McRae Rally 3 model shots

These shot are suppose to be real in game models. They look to real to me. http://www.eurogamer.net/content/ss_colinmcrae3 http://xbox.ign.com/news/39867.html

I think not. Look for example at the left rear tyre, the left rear window and the right rear wheel. You can see the polygons where the real thing has round shapes. Must say they look great!

hopefully it wont have to really dodgy physics engine from CMR2 which enabled you to turn on the spot!... cmr1 was better for raw drive.. :o( "Richie Vanderlow" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I agree. From the site: "...they are of the actual models which will be used in the game, and show the impressive level of detail to which it has been modelled. Somewhere in the region of 13,000 polygons make up the car, compared to a mere 800 in the last game, and the effect is certainly impressive. " So these are the 3d models used? Holy ****, I thought they were photos at first, but close inspection shows some of the polygons (exhaust pipe and wheels for instance). Sensational, lets hope the physics are up to scratch :) Rafe Mc On Thu, 15 Nov 2001 21:51:08 +0100, "Bart Westra" <[email hidden]> wrote:

IMO it's a bit cheap to publish some 'screenshots' about the cars with raytraced reflections, soft shadows, sunlight systems and stuff like that, because the game will definitely not render the models in the same way.

i agrre, they certainly also used light diffusion... now they need a raytrace 3D engine in their games ;o) Good luck codemaster ;o) Jani Kajala wrote:
