GTA IV fakery

[bm4n]

actually they announced at E3 that GTA IV would come to the 360 first, exclusively...and then they mentioned a bunch of crap about serial gaming...so it IS confirmed for the 360 and going there first. funny screenshots too.

Pretty sure most of its CGI
Using a base of 3D and some amaturish photoshoping.

Building on right looks like it was rendererd seperately and comped in to the scene. Too much colour burn compared to the rest of the scene. You can tell it;s a render because the dirt on the windows is the same for each set.

Building left looks rendered. Not a bad job but theres little tells in the brick texture.

Second on the right is a basic box with photos and a bit of bump mapping. (think PGR style)

The trees are 3D clipart. Get them in most architextural packs.

The two people on the right are part of the same render as the building. All others are photoshopped in. Possibly most clipart.

The first guy on the left has his left foot sunk into the pavement.

The cars look like photos put in via photoshop.
Dunno about the "ghost jeep" could be the guy got his blending options messed up. Looks like it;s multiplying.

Conclusion. Well either it's some guy putting this together out of a desire to impress in which case good luck to him. He may have a future in CGI if he practises more. It's a good attempt at a concept just let down by a few things. But not many.

If this is an offical R* concept art, well they need to sort their department out.
