[MELVIn]

Use the brain and find new and interesting ways to use Panorama... or cheat and google it.

If you can guess where this (and none of you guys from lopers chat can answer ) You will be a Respected Sir/Madam

Machu Pichoo?

I'm wit Mao on this one. I would have had something for city streets, sorry to say this but this theme just seems.... stupid, boring, the kind of theme I thought we were trying to gravitate away from.

We weren't doing anything... And it's the bitching that killed the last battle.

Exactly.

EDIT: And of course City Streets will make a comeback of some shape or form as a battle theme, just not right now.

Correct!!!!

You are now Sir Ark11 for exactly 24hours! Remind anyone that comes into contact with you to address you with that name. And please, keep your arms inside the carriage at all times.

Firstly, this is a hard theme that will yearn boring results.
Secondly, why is Panorama the theme anyway? City Streets won by like 5 votes.

City streets won with 32% well there other high one was 25%.

Don't worry about it, i have an idea for panorama.

[Phott]

Oh stop the whining! This is how it is now, make the best of it.

I'm going to try something at least..

O.o

Ok, so I was just saying that more people would of had something for city streets, and more people wanted it as well (the poll... seems useless now), and my only response is "Stop being a bitch, use ur imagination" Yeah, I can do that, but it doesn't change my point at all.

I assume the reasoning behind the poll was to get an idea only as a suggestion.
But as people had stated in the poll, with Panorama you can make any of the other genres.
The only difference is you have to be a little creative with your mapping. A long narrow hallway could be turned into an interesting one, just make the panorama long and short, a challenge to detail.

Those of you complaining about the city street > panorama are overlooking something...



I miss when no one questioned the theme =S

[Major Banter]

The true challenge of the panorama, no matter what people make, is to be able to craft an image that is larger than HL2s render limits.

Try a 2056 wide image Noo0d, and find something to fill it with.

That's one hell of a challenge.

In any case, if you have an issue with the battle take it to PMs to the Design Section Mod; bitching in the thread killed me off as a mod.

Tip #1: panorama's don't necessarily follow the horizon.
Tip #2: combining the 3 screenshots into one would be awesome.

One last thing about the theme poll: please consider the fact that there were 71 votes cast, I have NEVER seen 71 entries for a battle, maybe 30 that started - from which roughly 15-20 made it to posting finals. And that is why I take the discussion as part of the selection process, not the absolute amount of votes.

[TicTac]

Hm... I have an idea, not sure if I'll enter though.

[Ark11]

I like contrast in yours Tic Tac.

[Add-9]

Do it! Like Ark, I like the contrast.

BTW, we can only use 3 pictures to make the panorama, correct?
