About this site

GT2 Photo Mode is an unofficial, non-profit fan project made for study and preservation. It draws the cars and courses of Gran Turismo 2 (PlayStation, 1999) as they are stored in the original game data, and lets visitors arrange them and take photos.

This site is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Polyphony Digital or any other rights holder.

Ownership of the game content

Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2 and all related names and logos, and the 3D models, textures, paints, courses and other game assets shown here, are trademarks or copyrighted works of Sony Interactive Entertainment, Polyphony Digital and their respective owners.

All trademarks, car makes and models, and circuit names belong to their respective owners and appear only as they do in the game.

• No ownership of any of this content is claimed, and no licence to it is granted by this site.
• The site does not offer the game or its files for download. The photo mode loads only the converted course and car data it needs to draw them in your browser.
• Photos you save contain this same content and remain subject to the owners' rights. Please keep them to personal, non-commercial use.

The photo mode itself

The site's own code (renderer, interface and data tools) was written from scratch for this project. It gives no rights over the game content it displays. The site's mark is original artwork, not the game's logo. The depth of field, filters and other photographic effects are features of this viewer, not of the game.

Credits

Knowledge of the game's formats that was not worked out for this project comes from the community's research:

• pez2k's Gran Turismo 2 tools: car models, paints, and the car and course tables.
• The GT2 mod-kit's course format reference (.tro, .trp, .bso).
