The tree over 10 years old. I don't think they would let the road stay like that for 10 years. Not even here in Louisiana.

There is a late 70's or early 80's ford (someting like an LTD) that shows up 4 times. I doubt there are 4 of them left running in the country, so the chances of seeing 4 in mint condition at the same time are very slim.

rendered - all the reflections are too clear... and the glass on the cars are too perfect.

btw, what's with the tilted inner lanes ?

I say rendered as well. Most of the textures are too soft, and like someone said before, there's a couple of windows that aren't reflecting anything, just plain gray. Plus, that blue truck halfway in the pic on the bottom left looks like it's floating in mid-air :). Also, the cars seem to be perfectly spaced apart. This might only happen if it were a stand still, but only a few cars have their brakes on, and doubtful that many cars would put it in park. I'm looking way too much into this :D.

With that said, great job to whoever did this.

Rendered.

1. The cars have no dirt or ice on them.
2. The windows in the cars look slightly discolored and too shiny.
3. The angles of positioning of some cars are screwed up... they looks like they are going on one or two wheels!
4. The road has NO tire marks from driving in the snow, and the snow is too perfect, not discolored like real snow gets alongside roads.
5. Some cars were repeated. The van with checkered paint looks like a 3D model.
6. The road lane markings look messed up in parts, or out of place. Look near the plants.
7. Usually there are guardrails around an embankment like that.
8. Why so many cones? Those are usually only used near the wreck.

Sorry, I like to render things too, but its the attention to detail that can make or break your project.
You are on the right track. Keep up the good work though.

what snow are you talking about? i dondt see any snow. i think that is just the color of the road. Thier are a few roads paved with cement rather than asphalt that have that very light grey color.


anyhow, definetly rendered.

Rendered - because I see not one but TWO toyota trucks that still say "TOYOTA" on the back, not "YO" or "TOY". :)

the tree in the middle and the way that little bump/hill is made looks rendered...as for the mystery machineish car on the top, that could very well be real. The guy across the street from my school actually has a mystery machine van standing on his driveway :D

the only thing is there's a window in the back, so part of the word is cut off
