The Tiburon development team has made public this target render image for their upcoming Superman Returns Xbox 360 game to compliment the previously released target render trailer. In the image, Supes battles it out with a mysterious creature that’s broken out of Cadmus Labs. Comic book fans will recognize this lab as the breeding ground of Superboy and other various experimental entities.
In distributing the image, EA offered this guide for understanding where target renders come from and what their purpose is:
“For those not familiar with the term, this image was created with models used in the game. The developers place those models into a 3D program, add lighting and shadows, then render out an image to use as a goal. The game’s programmers use this goal image as a visual reference to build towards as they game progresses – basically, this is what they want the game to look like.”
