Not really sure what else you were expecting. Its unwise to set expectations high with GT.

I guess this has been mentioned before...?

Question is relating to GT Sports photomode scapes, the fact that they look crisp and realistic I'm interested to know if the possibility of a user scape is or could be an option for example being able to manipulate a P1 car onto my driveway
or local landmarks?

I don't believe it will be possible, as in order for the scapes to look anything like realistic PD need to manually input any light sources that may exist in the photograph into a three dimensional model so that the car can create shadows and have reflections based on the light sources in the picture.(If this has been discussed before please can you direct me roughly to its location, thanks in advance)

That Probably makes no sense but I don't know how else to explain it

Yea that makes sense, the scape is like a room they put their cars into rather than a real world location?I don't believe it will be possible, as in order for the scapes to look anything like realistic PD need to manually input any light sources that may exist in the photograph into a three dimensional model so that the car can create shadows and have reflections based on the light sources in the picture.

Yeah, sort of, but its just an illusion. If you were to move the camera around, the car would stay 3D, but the picture would warp, as it is still a two dimensional background. Its pretty cool tech if you ask me.
However, I have just found something that might make what you asked possible:
It says on the far right "Add light", which could allow the user to manually input a light source into a photograph. I can't think of much else it could be for.

Hmm... I thought in order to make the car have a shadow there needed to be light source within the 'model'?

Wow, that's really cool then. I stand corrected!
But if anything that makes the "Add Light" button a little bit more puzzling to me. If the camera/picture already does it, why would that option be needed...

The "Add light" will basically do that. Add another virtual light source within the scape's scenery. It's a feature I'm eager to know more about. I do hope there will be lots of options in order to manipulate/control these. If GTS adds a clean cyclo (infinite studio background) as a scape and there is enough headroom to play with virtual light sources I could be purchasing this game for that feature alone.
I feel like if it was going to be possible for user background scapes they would have mentioned it, it'd be a pretty major part of the feature.
I'd guess even if it was technically possible they would avoid it because when you allow people to add their own photographs, you're creating the potential for at best crappy quality photos that look rubbish or at worse, offensive/inappropriate backgrounds that the car makers are unlikely to appreciate their cars appearing in.
For every person that innocently wants to put a car in their driveway you've got another person that wants to put a car in the middle of Islamic State photos.

@Samus is right about the user provided hdr bg, but this idea is kinda nice.
I'm thinking fast and furious style blue strip lights under the car.

Agreed, it very unlikely we'll be able to put a car in our own scenery/scapes without the help of an external editor.

Yeah, you're right, it's supposed to be a game so what's the issue with having modes to have some fun on the side? Photomode is just as much a part of it as anything else, and has been for a while, if you haven't noticed.
It should be fine, they can do with upping their waist size.

How do you think the cars got there, if they where not just put into their surroundings?
Either way, like I alluded to, this has been main part of the series for the better part of last 10+ years or so and is a major part of gaming in general. You don't like it? That's fine, but many do. You think it's a waste, I don't.

As far as I know, most racing games to this day do this stuff.

Honestly, Scapes should be less offensive to the folks that cry "racing games should only be about racing" than previous GT game Photomodes. GT6's Photo Travel locations are painstakingly recreated by modellers: the new photographic approach should save a ton of time. How else would there already be over 1000?
