For one, taking a 3D artist out of a game development team for a day or two will not stall the development at all since the biggest part of game development still is coding (and you wouldn’t need said artist for any longer than a day or two. I don’t know what software your friends are working with, but it does not take weeks to work on these kind of renders anymore). Sure, if your management is terrible at planning these sort of things, that could stall the game, but any intelligent being would see the logic behind only taking a 3D artist out of their team once their own current work is finished.
The other slightly more significant part is that a single person is able to create a render. You will usually find more than one 3D artist working on a game that is published by EA.

That said, none of us actually know anything about EAs marketing teams, but judging by the fact that they are the biggest publisher in the industry, it would not surprise me if they had employees whose only job it is to create these renders. A small development studio couldn’t afford that. A big industry giant can…

So what you were saying wasn’t even true..

I can tell you it only takes one day to finish a render like this.

It’s an easy way to know you are up-to-date. I also love that I can decorate my sims yards with all of the different gnomes and they don’t move like they do in TS3. Thank you EA!

And where does this knowledge come from? from being close to people who work in videogame development. I have friends who do these kinds of renders, because they are told to, and they have to set what they were working on for a game to make something that is more complex and more polished, which takes more time. they take days to weeks to do.

That is not true with Sims 4 the images are what we get with just a few false details I can count on my fingers like Sims sitting on the arm of the couch. I hope they stick to this system of more honest renders.

Renders are made by the marketing department. There are no developers in the marketing department. Only marketing people and artists. Developers are not and will never spend their time on creating these renders. The marketing department is not and will never be able to work on the actual game, since they are NOT developers!
