That was a good movie, just saw it about 2 days ago.
I thought that was real for a second, good render.
Notice the blue truck on the bottom leftish has no shadow :P
Nah, its prolly just out of frame.
*double-take* Hey, that is a render. Wow, well done! I thought that was just a little bit surreal the way the plants came up out. I was figuring it was deliberate.
The way I saw is up in the corner look at the pillars...
I thought it was real at first.. then I started to think about how that could happen... and... for a tree to grow like that... that'd have to be broken like that for a LONG time...
I have to agree. That is a very good render.
Theirs only about 5 different cars so I figured.
wait... what.... Is that real or a render? :conspiracy:
Where the hell has that have been hiding from me?
Looks unreal!
It was just completed...thats why.
That is the Shanghai World Financial Center.
The single most powerful weapon ever detonated by mankind. The Tsar Bomba.
http://cfs5.tistory.com/upload_contr...NoLzAvNy5qcGc=
A 50 Megaton Hydrogen bomb. It was detonated on the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago in the arctic ocean. It could be seen and felt as far away as Finland, over 1,000 kilometers away, even breaking windows.
Whoa, That's huge. I so go to go visit that place.
If you even got near the islands you'd die in seconds from the residual nuclear fallout.
Sounds like a great vacation spot.
hahaha lol
Anyways this is to be the worlds tallest building when completed in Dubai. Its amazingly tall surpassing 2000 feet tall.

Edit: I was talking about shanghai, not the bomb site =\
Ugly low-res photo/drawing.
Not such an interesting building.. eh.
That still looks somewhat fake, but over 2k feet is pretty impressive. Does it still stand today?
It's still in construction.

And the bullet hasn't quite penetrated the last balloon :O
Wow.
E: also, you guys might not agree with me, but I think this meets the criteria of awesome:

is that IO ?
isn't that the moon thats really close to jupiter, and it gets squeezed by it's gravity every time it goes around?
Yeah, it's Io.
<3 io
i mean seriously, a planet that changes it's look every time it orbits.
it's like a never ending surprise! <3

I always liked Jupiters moons. Theirs Callisto, which is all scarred and cool looking, Io, which is all fiery and explodie, and Europa, the icy waterworld.
i know it's a moon, i said that 2 posts above you :|
but there are some pretty cool things in our solar system, i used to be a bit of a space nut back in the day. i love it.
You can see it in google earthQuote:

Yah, just because it's tall doesn't make it good.
That city is gonna look like a scene from star wars in about 15 years.
Well, after doing some research i found this...
"The Two Mile High Ultima Tower."

Like really...2 miles high...:confused2: HOW?...
Bullshit. Thats not happening anytime soon.

Uh, that looks nothing like a penis. Stop being a Freud poster boy >_>
Sure but i see where he's coming from [=/=pun]. This is nothing but a sublimation of the classic penis-comparison.
btw requesting metric system plox
Read the site, sounds like science fiction to me.
At any rate, the reason it would be built is because it can effectively contain a whole city, with very little affect on the surrounding environment.
lolwut

Oh fuck you, their usually relevant to the topic.
Those Tyranid modifications? They look like the shiznit. Awesome stuff.
ive always thought this pic was cool.
I actually got something just like that at my old house... the ice froze over these three trees in my front yard and made a perfect ice dome (complete with entrance). It was way awesome.Quote:

I agree.
IS DAT SOME MAD MAX? LOL!
I can't wait for Fallout3
cool pics bober
Sky outside my house about 30 minutes ago.
I could have sworn it was a fucking painting.
Stupid shot tags ruining the image a bit :(
Red whit e and blue :awesome:
Can someone identify the game or movie or w.e. the pics are from besides the Halo ones.
Fallout 3 :S?
Oh, thats cool. I wish I had an aircraft carrier as a makeshift shelter. D:
Couldn't help but notice graffiti in styles that began appearing in 1980s' New York being drawn into a society that experienced the apocalypse sometime between 1945 and 1965.
Somehow I wouldn't suspect parallel social development.
Still fucking awesome.
The 6th picture in Boba's set. Is that Cloverfield? :eek:
Uh, no.
I swear Games Workshop has the best damned art department
FFFFF Titan. :D

holy shit.
they said we were at least 15 years away from photorealism in videogames, but goddamn, it looks like we're nearly there.
I guess we still have the uncanny valley to get through, but I mean goddamn it if you tripled the polygon count in that first image and fixed up the water surface and fixed the UV stretching/seams on the rocks and added more depth to the textures via parallax and fixed a couple of other minor rendering errors, that scene could pass for a photo barring close inspection.
Ok, so we're not there yet, but still.
Goddamn that's impressive. I want to work in this field. Imagine Halo done with Havoc's physics and Crytec's rendering- it almost makes me want to drop everything and do a total conversion mod for Halo 1. But I won't.
