IGN caught up with Chris Wise, founder of Virtual Mechanix, to chat about who they are, what they do, and their thoughts on their profession. In case you didn't know, Virtual Mechanix is a world class outsource company based in the Sunshine Coast that specializes in producing high quality vehicles for companies such as Bizarre Creations and their Project Gotham Racing Titles. Chris reveals some details on their working relationship with Bizarre, as well as their outsourcing business and what it takes to produce those fantastic looking cars for the next-gen consoles....
Chris: On average cars for next-gen consoles are taking 6 weeks or more to build. Cars for handheld games are generally around the same complexity as you would have seen in a PC game about 6 or 7 years ago and these can vary from a few days to a week to build.
