And I just found one with great looking foliage. You can easily find bad spots in ANY game.
foliage? really
But l also think, that lighting looks in driveclub more realistic
Oh, look, much better examples. The last one was the one I was looking for. Like I said, the foliage in general looks great but there are some rough spots. When it looks good, it's on another level compared to the foliage in PCars.
Probably, I don't think PCars uses SSR. I could be wrong though.
Is that suppose to mean it isn't impressive or doesn't look good? The vast majority of driveclub foliage looks that good and i find it funny when people use that same screen shot like it detracts from the overall game. Another thing i find funny is even this crappy foliage in driveclub looks better than the foliage in most racers.
I didn't call it crappy or say it doesn't look good. Driveclub has foliage that is well suited for a linear racing title. It is the best utilization of 2D sprites for foliage I've seen in a game, but those trees would look absolutely awful in a traditional 3D game like The Witcher 3 or Forza Horizon 2 where you have more freedom to move around.
Well, at the very least, Driveclub doesn't use 2D crowds
Jokes aside, I think it's fair for games to "cheat" to get some assets to look good as long as it doesn't ruin the experience.
Driveclub is a linear (idk what that means) racer as Project Cars, Forza and GT, Assetto Corsa. What is a traditional 3D game, or do you mean open world game in which case there are tons of 2D sprites in Forza Horizon 2.
No game uses real SSS. But many games approximate it.
FH2 uses tons of 2d grass and guess what? It works perfectly while driving through it. It looks like shit when in photo mode swinging the camera around but really, who cares?
Well, this is graphics face of thread. A place to discuss everything about racing game graphics, including foliage.
Agreed. I'm pretty happy with the amount of trackside details racers are already pushing this gen.
I'm not much of a racing game fan but i own a few. I've been playing project cars on amateur settings (Asus ROG Laptop) for the past few days and i'm enjoying it, but foliage, vegetation and track side details should absolutely matter especially this gen with relatively powerful consoles and monstrous PCs being sort of the norm. That is one thing i enjoy in Driveclub.
I'm heading out of town, but here's a link to pretty much every screenshot I've ever taken on my Xbox lol. Feel free to dig through and post anything you want, I should have some shots of foliage in there. Note some of them aren't typical (glitched out of the map for out of bounds shots, etc.)

They look better than PCars to me.
I thought the shadows casting on the dust kicked up was cool in that shot.Thanks, found some.
Most are are bit to dark or foliage to far away or obscured by heavy motion blur though.
I think these show the tree foliage quite good:
Test:
Yep. thats nice. Gran Turismo 6 also has this nice effect. I think DC misses a similar thing, at least I haven't seen it in DC yet.
Edit: Found example:
Anybody know if DC has something like that?

While these should look good in motion for an open world game, the foliage is far behind DC's. Still good for an open world game though.Thanks, found some.

It's lit well and doesn't spike performance that badly, although it's also ridiculously low-res, and isn't upscaled and blended back into the image with good awareness. Objects in front of big alpha effects in GT5 resultantly look as though they're being rendered at like 270p.

Yeah it works well for track based racers, and Driveclub certainly has the best implementation of that particular method of any current racer. Driveclub has pretty awesome foliage, but I am less impressed by the fact that it is kinda cheating to get the fidelity they wanted.That's by far the worst Driveclub screenshot I have ever seen.
Surely that couldn't be intentional, right?
That's how it is in almost every racing game, though. So it's not really worth saying, since it's a huge step up from the 2D foliage in other games.
Do you really consider them not far from PS2 level graphics? I mean Forza Horizon 2's foliage isn't necessarily amazing and it can be rough around the edges (though in motion it can look pretty great), but PS2 level?
Maybe it's just me, but the lighting seems a bit off, particularly on the license plate.
It has 2D grass and the trees are standard trees as seen in normal 3D games so they do have 2D bits that form the canopy but they don't follow the camera around so they have depth.
Please let me know where on the GTA V map I can find a forest as dense as FH2's
