Is the Opel Manta coming to Gran Turismo?

[StigBelcherStyl]

Whilst reading an article on How 3D Scanning Brought Classic Cars to Life in Racing Games, they speak about the Gran Turismo Movie and how Polyphony uses SCANOLOGY equipment when modeling cars for the game, they show a Ford GT in scanning and also tease an Opel Manta being scanned too. Gran Turismo's last update brought an Opel car to the game, I'm just unsure weather the scanning of the Opel Manta was also done by polyphony; as they dotted the interior very similarly to the way Polyphony did the scanning of the Lamborghini Espada and they also talk about VR.

This guy is clearly a 100% japanese PD's employee.

It would be a nice addition if this were to become reality.

In the article say:

In this article, we will explore how SCANOLOGY’s 3D scanning TrackScan-Sharp helped a game developer create realistic and accurate 3D models of vintage cars Opel Manta from a car museum [...]

There are a game with the Opel Manta in the market already? This article have almost 2 years old, so is posible that developer might by Polyphony.

It clearly isn't, but not sure why that's relevant.

Kinda. The scene in the movie isn't actually at PD; it's a mock-up of the processes.

As far as I'm aware, the real PD doesn't actually use the Scanology-brand tech for creating 3D scans - and I've seen plenty of photos and videos (more than have been shared in public; certain trade secrets are just that) of the process. That doesn't mean that it definitely doesn't, or hasn't switched to it, just that in all the stuff I've seen it's never been a part of it.

Isn't it just SCANOLOGY staff doing their own thing? Looks like this is an article from them about their equipment on their website. I'm pretty sure they did the scanning themselves for whatever purposes and Manta has nothing to do with PD. They just talk about PD in the beginning cuz their equipment appeared in the movie.

they could just hire a company to scan something for them.....globalisation you know.....
