Those are some impressive shots man.
You got da skillz.
What's the story with those tyres man?
They look out of place.
I wonder what the two dudes in the background are talking about..?
They look like they're gonna steal the car. Shady people.
Nice pics, but could someone tell me what is up with the lightning in Forza? Is it because they're using phong lightning? They tried to hide in in 4, but it still has that "sun blob" forza 3 really struggled with. Taking a somewhat realistic picture in Forza 3 with the sun reflecting off the car was impossible.
Left headlight
My guess is to get the nice exposure on the hood, the tire shader ended up looking a little flat, that happens sometimes in both games. The weird shadow-haze is from an outline-highlighting effect you sometimes see in FPS games, but just a little too bold for this scene. Still, those are very nice shots.
And just to clarify, veeery few of these are my own shots. I tend to curate the community submissions. Like I said, a lot of why some shots in *either* game look better or worse is down to composition. I sure as heck wish I had as much time as I used to for photo-shoots.

You asked-
K bro.
BTW in what world do you live in that AA masks the look of plastic?
What I said is that the great AA Forza has doesn't make up for the fake that a lot of the models look like cheap plastic, and you asked why I said the exact opposite of what I actually said.

Sun blobs exist in real life, too. My car on a sunny day:
The sun blobs on the Forza 4 photo look pretty realistic for a bright day.

I think I know what you're talking about, do you mean the blown-out lighting you sometimes see near the harsh edges on the outline of the car? If it's that, it's a specular highlight. In FM3 you could tell it was sort of a cheaper effect to help give high-contrast scenes some depth, but particularly in FM4, it's pretty darn close to the actual, real-world specular highlight you'll see when the sun is above ~30 degrees in the sky. So long as that "face" of the vehicle is pointed that direction in direct sunlight, you'll notice it in real photography too. Some guys love it and really try to highlight it, I tend to avoid it. For product shoots, they tend to avoid it because it blows out detail for that part of the car, and if it's at an angle, the symmetry can do strange stuff.

Because why not.
GT5 Community Highlights I: The Phantom Menace (26 images, non photo-travel)
You'll notice a lot of night shots in here, which I chose for the same reason I choose particular vehicles/locations for Forza: GT5 does gorgeous nighttime lighting. And yes, some of these are from the earlier version of GT5, so the smoke may be distracting, but I like those compositions in spite of it.

Nobody does whites like PD.
EDIT: Could we maybe have a limit on how many pictures people have per-post? Some are going way overboard. (I limit myself to no more than five)

Wanna go with five or fewer? I think that'd make people (meaning me) just pick particularly nice ones. That's probably more in the spirit of the thread. Sorry about the formatting on the last GT5 gallery, the sizing was all over the place on those.

Or tyre and clutch models, thankfully.
The person in the centre here has clearly inhaled too much jagged smoke from the plastic Subaru. Other spectators look on in horror.

Hell yes.
Between GT5/Forza 4/Horizon/pCars I'm drowning in awesome as it is. The future looks even brighter.

Oh eso76, you so funny.
C'mon BADNED, throw us a freakn bone here!
You've got no chance. BADNED is a feather, and your balls are FM5. Or something.
Good point!Ne didn't say no
Actually, he's responded quite a few times before when i've prodded him.
Let's see..

Question: Is there already (or would people enjoy) a dedicated photo-mode comparison thread between GT5 and Forza 4/Horizon?
Formatting and post structure would be important, just so it doesn't devolve into an eye-sore post flood-war. Considering how both communities are constantly pumping out really nice photography, and the sense of competition is already there because of people's interest in the games, I feel like that could be fun. I'm uhh...not able to create threads, so someone else would have to do the work if it doesn't already exist.

Yup! That he got asked to design a real-life racing livery (Nissan 370Z NISMO shown earlier) is a testament to the quality of his work. More of H3rTz DoNuT's amazing creations:
Woof, those all look fantastic.
It would help to keep threads like this one a bit cleaner, so: yes.

I think this thread is meant to be a catch all for any versus debates. So there really isn't any point for a separate photo thread.

To be honest, we have kind of overdone the GT5 vs FM4 photomode pics.
No matter which way you look at it, GT5's look far more realistic. Even Forza fanboys admit it. So there isn't even any point in continuing that comparison.

How are you guys getting shots of the interior?
I know Forza relies on some weird glitch at Silverstone which I don't have the patience for, but what about GT5?
After playing lots of both in the past few days, I realise that I'm going to have to make a tough choice next gen when I likely go single console (at least for the foreseeable future). I like them both :[
I do think Forza makes slower cars feel more fun than GT5 though - you can really feel them move around corners in the suspension, etc.
Edit: regarding photomode shots
In my opinion, it's much easier to get good looking shots out of GT5 for whatever reason, and you don't really have to fiddle with the camera settings as much.
Forza seems to require a bit more work and adjustment in-game, but both ultimately produce shots that are pretty much identical to each other. There's been a few times in this thread where I've seen an image and then had to look in the corner to see what game it's from.

It was more of a dig at the Zonda R!
Edit: have you noticed in Horizon there's the model with the exposed CF in the showroom but when you buy it you get the black one?
I'd say Forza by far...

Forza all the way.
None of my casual gaming friends can do well in GT5. But they are fine with Forza 4.
The Virgin Atlantic Devon was one of my favourites:
To those people here who ONLY have GT5: aren't you just a little bit jealous that Forza owners can find, download and apply multiple liveries like these to their favourite cars in a matter of seconds..?

I have both and don't even do that in FM4.
Although I'm not really a Livery person. I'm not even bothered if they put an editor on GT6 or not.
Wow. Applying a race livery is the very first thing I do to any car I'll be driving.

I think for online racing it could be really cool, to have teams in certain liveries etc. But other than that there doesn't seem to be much purpose. I have to say though that some of the work put in to them is breathtaking.
