Manhattan X 1.00
Page 5 of 19
How realistic is Manhattan Scenery?
Well, actually it is not realistic at all. How about that for an answer?
But it is true. How can you simulate something as complex as Manhattan? Even
doing just one building to a good degree of detail would slow your system down to a
slideshow and would take us months to do. This product is an impression of
Manhattan. We believe it is as accurate as possible given the hardware limitations
and commercial limitations.
We even believe it is the best scenery ever done.
• But does this look like Manhattan? Yes it does!
But
will you find objects that could be done better? Objects that are missing? Sure. You
will find some, the next guy will find others. And that is just the problem, there is
just too much to get it all right.
• Does this ‘feel’ like Manhattan, yes it does!
• Will you recognize it as Manhattan, yes you will!
• Is this Manhattan? Yes, it is. Most certainly!
