nice pictures. I have known a site, made by an Ubisoft developer, who has been making photoreal development for the next gen. games. but unfortunately, I have forgotten the name of the site.

here is my fav it has a bit of everything

oh, man this is good, BUT not that great (yes I know, I could'nt do better, I know), what makes it fake:

(1) Newspaper looks off, something about it looks like non paper like, (too thick and rigid?

(2) The seats look plasticky, ok thats not a real word but you know whadda mean.

The first on was much better.

As for the PS3 doing real time graphics take a look at this:

And thats was just running the dev kits, the final hardware will be much more powerful.

The Maxwell renderer (www.maxwellrender.com) seems far and away the most realistic and easiest to setup. If they can improve the speed, I'm all over it. I think it would be awesome for virtual sets and the like.
