I remember long ago when I was yey high, I was watching a program called Cybernet and the main article for one of their episodes was Gran Turismo 3. I shed tears of joy when I first saw that article and recorded it onto my VCR to watch multiple times. But that's beside the point here.

I remember a specific line in the article stating that in GT2 it took a day just to model a car, sound it and match the physics to the appropriate car whereas in Gran Turismo 3 it took 2 weeks to get a car into GT3.

It's been more than 10 years since then and I wonder now, how long does it take to get a car into GT6/GT7 and what is the process behind actually getting them into the game? I think in asking this question it can give the public an understanding of it's not as easy as it looks and that the processes involved can be quite in-depth.
 
And here I am thinking it may be a bit of a silly question :D

"a model will still take 6 months to create, and that is because the time and costs saved in the research phase are re-distributed into modelling to further improve the quality of the final product."

Great question, if this got answered then maybe people would understand why all the little bugs and glitches haven't been ironed out yet. Probabably not, but there's always hope lol

Alright cool 6 months, but what GOES into those months I wonder. Maybe an explanation or showing us the process from start to finish? I'd understand if it was a trade secret though.

I really like this question. Maybe Jordan or the person, who makes the interview can ask PD to make a "making of"- video, where they share same stuff :)

This gets asked on occasion, I think from back in GT4 days if not earlier. But it's a great idea that I was hoping would be in GTTV, a video on the Blu-ray disc... something. Surely Kaz could be talked into a film day or two when there's a work slump, and they could shoot some unclassified work going on there. We did get little peeks in the past, so I think it's high time we got a big peek behind the yellow curtain. Along with it, an explanation of the general process of bringing a car - and track - to life in Gran Turismo.
 
Wait guys, Mario Andretti's Hudson. How long did that take to get modelled and placed into the game? This is because I remember a livestream showing the car being built and the day it was unveiled (I think it was) was the day it appeared in GT6.

Am I missing something here?

That thought has crossed my mind, as well..... Odd that it was done so quickly.... And we don't have all of the SEMA winners, yet.... Hmmm.... :guilty: :odd:

Saving them for GT7? Hence why PD is considering suggestions and Kaz wants to answer questions. It's very awkward.
