Sigh.. yet another over-unity and/or perpetual device? At least they got to build a nice steampunk toy, burning their investor money :)

This reminds me of Steorn Orbo that generated a lot of hype many years ago, and turned out to be a dud as expected.

Yeah, was about to comment that that is a very nice bit of CGI. Something about the matte colour of the metals trips my detector. And the lighting on the workers, the too-perfect luminosity of the light sources, that "composited" feel. If you look at the first picture, it's probably the weakest - look at the 3 transverse beams.

Amazing work, though - right on the edge of genuine photorealism.

update: "foto oficial nº14" is also a weak one. Look at the workers up the top, the lighting on them is strange. And that guy observing from what seems to be an impossible position, missing the bottom half of his body.

Geeze it's good though - just that subtle uncanny valley in the lighting, and even so, I wouldn't bet my life on it!

update 2: actually, I don't know what to believe. It looks composited, but it's just so damn detailed, maybe I'm trying too hard. Would love to know the truth.

Up-voters, you hooked me up. Nice job.

Does it not bother anyone that the same machine is "built" in 2 different buildings?
