The Project CARS Photo Pron Thread

[crowhop]

I assume this is one with a "fan made" livery? Love the Martini-esque look, but didn't think the Porsche band name could be in the game.
*there may be others with similar issues in this thread, but this one stands out to me most.

You're absolutely right! It is a fan-made livery, and a very good one as well. But sadly the "Porsche" name won't be in the game!

That last post demonstrates how this game is a visual work of art. 👍 With those color palettes and effects, I don't know how anyone could be concerned with how it will look on consoles.

March is close but so far away...

 

[APXCaramel]

Is it okay to ask if there are any pics of the GTE Aston Martin?

This one?

 

[TheMinority]

Need them starting grid shots!

 

[catamount39]

Yes please! A GT3/LMP2 grid at Road America perhaps?!

This one?

Well that's the GT3, but that car is probably even better than the GTE. Beautiful and with a screaming V12.

Is there any camera functionality built into the photomode?

e.g. Can aperture and shutter speed be adjusted to change depth of field and blur

Also does anyone know the latest on whether consoles will have a photo or replay modes?

I'd also like to now how close the Photo Mode is to what's available on Forza/GT.
Forza Motorsport 4 had great settings options at the cost of restrictive camera movement (most notably in terms of height), whereas GT6 has great camera placement options at the cost of a limited number of settings.

@JohnScoonsBeard @PJTierney -- One of yesterday's PS4 videos includes a brief look at the photo mode menu. Here are your settings:

• Color Filters
  
• Focus Length
• Focal Sharp Depth
• Focal Fade Depth
• Blur Intensity
• Exposure
• Field of View

Thanks. I did notice that and generally that access video was really good. It was a shame the video didn't show any playing with the settings other than the "instagram filters".

As someone who earns their living from photography I would say the terms used aren't particularly intuitive. In fact I'm not sure exactly what the couple mean or do (although I could guess) namely "focal sharp depth" and "focal fade depth". Would anyone with access be able to explain what they do to the image please? Obviously aperture F numbers are also not the most obvious to non photo types so I'm not saying reality is any better

I'd love to see an example or two of the extremes of those two settings.

Focal sharp depth is where the sharp focus envelope begins, for example, you could blur out the foreground, and get sharper further into the image, or bring the sharp focus right to the front of the image. Focal fade depth is how long the range of sharp focus there is in the image, or the end of the envelope, if you like. You can make the whole image sharp, or decrease it to a small area around a drivers helmet.

Hey can someone take a photo of a full 45 car field? Just so us console boys can get a taste of what we're getting?

This was made with 55 but couldnt get 'all' captured... s/f line is at the "le mans" sign

None of these are mine. Just the ones I liked from the wmd forums lately. Shows some new wet weather tracks.

 

[FuriousDemon]

Someone wanted to see lots of cars?

 

[lmracer]

Whats up with the fictionalized Suzuka? They moved it out of the city, added a massive lake and changed the track!

 

[DrJustice]

^ Licensing didn't come through (at least for release). Sakitto is better to drive than Suzaka, if nothing else

Aston Martin shots

That is one of the most ridiculously good looking racecars I've ever seen.

Hey that last picture could could be a box cover for the game. Nice shot

 

[Aphelion]

i do hope you will be able to take pics on the console version! I do enjoy me some photomode!

 

[Ian_83]

Great thread. 👍

Has anyone got any pictures of crashes or damaged cars?

Ah, the mists are clearing. Personally speaking it would come across as much more professional for the game to use the common photographic terms "Focal Point" and "Depth of Field".
