Hate to break it to you kMan, but that is real. :trout:

Some of these are jaw dropping. But as stated, these could just be hi-res to just show what the concepts are, and could be tonned down later.

I clicked the link first, and I was browsing trough the pics when I noticed that fourth one and I thought “Dang, that looks real, I’m gonna post it”. Then I scrolled down and noticed this whole thread was dedicated to it :beam:

Yep :ne:

I’m 99% the street pic is real. If you browse through other pics you’ll notice that they used real world pics to show how closely the ambience was to that of a real pic…
