This pic circulated a while back but talk died down pretty quickly. Could this be an actual photo and not a computer image? If so, there are major implications for a potential F5.

- Light reflections all over the body are way too complex to have been done in a 3D computer image unless you had dozens of light sources.
- Same with the headlights. That level of realism and reflection is never seen in a computer image unless it was painstakingly raytraced.
- The number of polygons needed to make the body so smooth looking would be way too high to be practical.
- The artist who supposedly made it (Radovan Varicak) usually only deals with hand drawn sketches.
- The little imperfections all over the body like the little black splotch halfway up the A-pillar would have had to be manually added in.
- Same with the big black blob through the drivers window and rear window.
- The wheels and tires are identical to SSR wheels and tires, which we know exist. They could easily be slapped on a life-size prototype. They look too real to have just been pasted into a picture, which is why they must be incredibly complex 3D wheels or actual photos of wheels.
- The tires even have micro-perfect tread and you can read GoodYear on 'em.
- The interior has WAY too much detail. To do all those complex shadows and a steering wheel of that detail would take days if not weeks.
If this was really a computer image, it wasn't done with an image enhancement program like Photoshop. It would have to be done from scratch in a 3D program. I deal with computer graphics frequently and I don't believe any artist spends THIS amount of detail on computer models.. There's no doubt in my mind that this is a photograph. Now I'm ready for my theory to be corroberated .. or shot down http://web.camaross.com/bb/wink.gif
