... and now Mr Bush declared the USA "owners of the space".
WASHINGTO (AFP) -
President George W. Bush has approved a new national space policy aimed at denying "adversaries'" the use of space capabilities deemed hostile to US interests.

JonM: Yeah I agree, I had the same impression. I have already started to draw some buildings in the background.
H2: here's a version with a different color correction for you. I should remove some lighting for this version to look right but yeah, you can get the idea It also looks very terminator'ish.

Quote from dissonancethe birds seem a little out of place.keep them, though; they add to the affect.
They are vultures 
happy birthday btw moroes
That looks damn nice A lot different from your other maps KIIIA. Good job.
Nice chest, I'd hit it
Quote from dux
This is amazing, thanks for the link dude
Yeah how did you achive such a high contrast ? Does -gamma work in HL2 too ? I never tried it
Amazing map, I particularly love this screen http://dux.interlopers.net/dm_drift08.jpg
editing: ops nevermind me
Quote from NykO18I prefer the second version.Also, the crane seems a bit too large.
Look at the plane, it's almost the same size.
The plane is supposed to be just a small executive jet (although I use a 767 photo)
very nice but concider the fact that it wouldnt pass as REAL in the backgroudn of a movie or anythign because it has static valutures static rain static smoke and static fire Wink you should make proper matte masks for those areas and add little dynamic layers and than render an avi or something in premiere or something NOW THAT WOULD BE PIMP
lol
I heard phillip is the biggest sucker at pool...ever 
Here's a version with no high contrast, what you guys think ?
It's cool cause it has a more sober tone.

Terragen sky ?
I'm speechless. That building facade is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. You could render some shadows on that samurai tho. It looks rather plain because of that.
Minotaur0 likes the effort. Good job vivi
