The reflection photos thread

[wowbaggerBR]

Ray tracing is a major feature available in the PlayStation 5 version and I have been having a blast taking pictures in angles and situations that exploit acurate reflections in puddles, other cars, maybe parts of a car being reflected by itself and so on. It gets quite addictive.

In this thread, I invite you all to share your photos exploiting the common place physics of optics and geometry now being synthesized in real time before your eyes.

PS4 players (or PS5 players with RTX off for some reason?) can also take part in this. Although PS4's version lacks the ray tracing feature, the game still simulates reflections and if you are creative enough to make something look nice with simpler screen space reflections in play, well, we'll be all the more impressed by that!

It would be cool if you disclose which console you are running in your post: PS4 Base, PS4 Pro or PS5 Raytracing!

ok I'm re-posting a few things that are already lying around elsewhere but it's a good idea to make a dedicated topic

Wow, that first one is awesome!

I just wish my PS5 rt looked as good as it does on my PC. I also wish it was active while racing. Maybe the next version will be better.

Would be better if it was feasible to leave it on while racing, but, to be fair, I don't think people would really notice. I know I don't miss it while driving.

This one is a more subtle example, but I love the way the curb gets reflected on the underside of this beast:

PS5 ray tracing. Love the natural way RT allows the diffusion of these reflections on the satin style paintwork.

You can't miss what you never had and never lost. It adds a lot to the immersion though actually.
Things like dash lights reflecting off windows and the visor, casting glow on the gloves and wheel at night. After fire reflections, and on wet pavement.
Once you have it in other games you want it in this one too. 😉

Depends on what you are looking for while racing. I, and I'm sure most people as well, choose to look for the next apex, not the dash bouncing difuse light everywhere.

It’s a good pic, but, I don’t see any wow reflections here? I’m tired, maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.

The salt lakes are great but this is my favourite of the "reflections" scapes.
