possible strange anomaly on UT2007 wallpaper?

what do you make of this then?

from what I make of it, it looks like it's not completely on the ground, but just kinda.... floating a bit there:

Amazed you didn't notice the texture misalignment in the lower right while you were at it...

It probably got knocked over when the tank spawned.

It's just a barrel resting on teh concrete/junk stuff at the side, can't see any floating ;o

That's not a texture there: look at the shadows, it's actual geometry. though it still looks misaligned

Actually, this whole thing kinda reminds me of when 2k3 was imminent and there was that screenshot of all the guys running across a fairly open area, one team chased by another, and there was this light bloom that didn't affect a particular player in the foreground; this "artifact" was held as evidence that the 'shot had been photochopped from renders: What had actually happened was that everyone had forgotten that screenshots are static 2D representations of dynamic 3D events, and I think this is exactly what has happened here.

It's not floating, it's resting on a curbstone. Take a look at the hi-res version of the pic and you'll be able to see it.

The texture misalignment is also more noticeable there.

Well, from the shadows, its actually not a texture miss align, its a BSP or Mesh missalignment, you can see the shadow also makes the same cut over.
