Well Now that the cars are now in* the space game, I guess that means CiG is saved. Everyone go home. *please note the use of 'in' here is purely theoretical. As is the game.

At that point, you can yell “concept art” as much as you like and you'll still not be allowed to use the original unless you've acquired some derivative-work license to use it.

It's not that they're using a mat painting - as you said that's pretty common - it's that they've been touting their planet-generating abilities for loving months and they can't even be bothered to use a screenshot from in the game to market their reskinned Warthog. People on Reddit are legit going "wow is the water really going to look like that" because CIG's marketing is A) too loving stupid to realize how pumped people would be if they used this as an opportunity to show off their terrain and B) too loving evil to bother not lying to their customers.

As Derek would say Beet, you loving called it. Nice work on the Tumbril. So it's 230 for five "ships" with LTI and five skins addition skins for that ship. Or $40 if I just want one of those instead. Sounds like a good deal, I'll take 10.

It would have to be something with an actual model to be dropped in the procedural environment. Also - remember per the cast iron TOS - buying these doesn't guarantee that you will actually get them, and if you do get something it may look completely different from the concept picture. <<insert rusty radio flyer photo here>>

Crazy_BlackParrot posted:technically these are mat paintings, I used to do these a lot. The thing that gets me about the image is how poorly rendered the truck itself is. The background is hardly changed, they just added some dumb towers and spaceships flying by in a blur, but if you can find a high res version, look at the cyclone itself. It looks like a test shot on a progressive render that they stopped too early. The reflections are grainy and the shadows aren't properly resolved at all. This would undoubtedly look better actually rendered Cryengine.

Hello everyone, been lurking some but been too busy with boring rl stuff to post... anyhoo here's some art history for you: This is titled "The Emperor Triumphant" painted between 2012-2014 by renowned French artist Rien d'Archère, it shows the Emperor Crobler at the peak of his powers. He smiles at the viewer, pointing to the stars with an outflung arm. "Come with me and live the dream!" he seems to say. Sat upon his mighty steed Star Citizen, the world is his oyster.  Compare the above to this painting by controversial Russian artist Derki Smartov. Painted during 2015-2017, this is simply titled "Deathmarch". After his comprehensive defeat on the freezing Steppe of Reality we see the beaten Emperor retreating with his defeated army of minions. Every stroke of the artists brush cries: Oh the Humanity! Where did it all go wrong?

It's pretty funny that a company took six years and $150,000,000+ dollars with 300+ employees to match the photoshop skills of that canadian lady that died on everest after sticking herself in landscapes of mountains and posting them on facebook.

This was done by the artists while is should have been a job for the engineers, who are too busy creating the awesome procedurally-generated landscape technology to waste time making a procedurally generated landscape image.

Sure, but that's kind of my point: why do it the hard way with dubious results, when any 3D package from Lightwave on the Amiga and onwards would let you blend the two effortlessly in-camera? …assuming you had a 3D model, that is.

This would undoubtedly look better actually rendered Cryengine. funny you should mention that, I had the exact same thought. I use corona render for my work ( I do renders for archviz ) and corona is progressive. Meaning, it works with passes, 10 passes you can see all these dots'(noise) in corners, 100 passes give a nice clean image. it looks like the render wasn't even done. Also the fake headlights they shopped on it. Crazy_BlackParrot fucked around with this message at 23:59 on Jul 20, 2017 |

Chris is just not happy with any of them and so they are constantly being refactored so the fidelity is perfect.
