50 Stunning GT5 Photomode Interior Screenshots & How-To Take Your Own
As you’ve probably discovered by now, Gran Turismo 5‘s Photomode feature can be surprisingly fun and addictive. You’ve probably also noticed, however, that you can’t easily take a pictures of a car’s interior – until now. GTPlanet user IeGI has discovered an easy way of getting the camera “inside” a premium car, and he’s shared a detailed set of instructions here in our forums so you can do the same.
The resulting shots, taken by him and other users which you’ll see in the gallery below, are nothing short of spectacular and some of the most impressive Photomode images I’ve seen from the game. It is a beautiful showcase of the careful attention to detail given to premium car’s interiors – and makes it all the more perplexing as to exactly why Polyphony Digital has not made it easy to take interior Photomode shots in the first place.

Wow, what gorgeous detail.

This is pretty amazing. Some of these shots were hard to tell they were from a video game. That right there is why it took 5 years to make this game. Lol Good stuff though, that’s top notch quality.(Unlike a guy named Mig, he is low notch quality).

Did anyone need or want that much detail?

“and makes it all the more perplexing as to exactly why Polyphony Digital has not made it easy to take interior Photomode shots in the first place.”
Yeah, perplexing why PD do this and a lot of other things too. It’s totally stupid to make it impossible (except for a glitch) to actually take shots of the interior. I was trying to the other day in the Red Bull Hanger location- of course I couldn’t without just looking through the window of the car.

Too bad that up-close the interiors look cheap, plasticy, and with low poly counts. Why bother? Biggest mistake PD ever made was going with their premium models.

They actually look like they spent more time modeling the interiors than anything else in the entire game. None of it looks cheap, plasticy or has a low poly count.
The problem is that when driving the interiors don’t look that great sometimes, and what’s the point spending all the time modeling the interiors when you can only see them because of a glitch?
Good as they are, it’s not the most effective use of modeling time, when other aspects in the game would have benefited more from having a bit more time allocated to them.

Well that’s just it – the entire focus of the game is on how the cars look and drive. Now that might satisfy some people, but for most people it has resulted in a very disappointing racing game. Before people stat harping on about it being a “driving simulator”…take a look at what you need to do to progress through the game.
It’s made worse by the fact that when driving, the cars don’t look that good anyway, so why bother? Turn 10 got the balance spot-on, PD missed by miles.

People sometimes seem to forget that GT is a driving game not a racing game. If you don’t like it, play NFS.

To bad the only way to do this is to unlock the proper photomode location. (Which requires getting gold in all the grand tour special events)

you don’t need gold… you just need to hit next…

Hey, my two Mazda Roadster/MX-5/Miata shots are in there. 8) Neat.

These are truly incredible. Hopefully PD allow you to photo the interior of the cars more easily.
If you’ve got it, flaunt it.

Do they match the real instructions for that circuit?
Oh man that would be FREAKIN’ AWESOME

Shocking enough,that the notepad directions exactly matches the real race routes on almost any given track ! thats the beauty of gt,so many small details hidden in so many unlikely places…

I was wondering if there was a way, sad you have to glitch it to make it work, wish they added it in as an actual feature, anyway I’ll have to give it a try and see what I can come up with.

They must have spent months doing this why not perfect the exterior and cockpit view of the car – views actually able to be used during gameplay?
Don’t get me wrong pics look great but if I wanted to see the interior views of cars – look on their website?

It’s a bit of a symptom of this game’s problems. Loads of time dedicated to certain areas; just sometimes not the right ones.

You can take this carmodels for the next 15 years of GT. So they´ve done it now….point. It is great they spend so much time in the cars…never seen before.
Maybe at some areas of the game, it seems unfinished. But this game is for car freaks and they get what they were asking for.

cool, something new.. i will try this out for sure!

I wonder why they model the interior so crazy detailed.
But you can’t really see them.
In the cockpitview you can just look left and right but not up and down…
And in the Photomode isn’t even an option to get inside the car.
Sad that it has to work with some other ways. -

I did happen to see that post and most of the pictures. Considering they look that good, I’m surprised you have to glitch just to get it to work. Why wouldn’t PD just include the ability to open doors or use an interior cam?

I am sure it’s all to tease us, and will be patched later on, that is what I have noticed from the game, a lot of teasing lately.
