Togg Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Are these renders? look absolutely amazing...look like photos.These are photos. Probably for the environnement skybox or the HDR.

JG14_Smil Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Perhaps you need to adjust your monitor, Tommy. (or get glasses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTommy Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 Perhaps you need to adjust your monitor, Tommy. (or get glasses) Glasses i think... It was the one image looking straight down of the grass that i thought was a render. I thought the others might be a proof of concept. But it's amazing what can be rendered/created these days: these are both digital creations! i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.

maturin Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Dream on. The first game to look that photorealistic will be a corridor shooter, not a flight sim that renders whole countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTommy Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 (edited) Oh i known, I did not think such was achievable in any imminent release, but i also did not known what images like these were going nestled amongst the effects files for DCS. Togg explained that.. not that i understand how such a skybox fits into the DCS world we are flying in. The photo-realistic 3D model images i posted was just to prove not everything that looks like a photo is a photo! Here are some more.. truly amazing.. but rather off topic :) http://www.noupe.com/design/incredibly-photorealistic-3d-characters.html Edited October 6, 2012 by MadTommy i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.

VincentLaw Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 If for no other reason, you can tell its a photo because the photographer was holding the camera crooked. If it was a computer render, it would have been perfectly level. (I know that you can render crooked, but people usually don't) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know that you can render crooked, but people usually don't) Is it done with a fish eye lens?.. being a keen photographer myself, i'm curious how such a 'skybox' is created. i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.

aaron886 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Uh... it's a bunch of pictures taken with a camera? Maybe a camera on a pole for the one pointing downwards? It's not rocket science. This environment map has been around since the original release of World, but I have not seen it used in-game. It appears to be used in Modelviewer only.
