Bitgap Games' THIS.. IS.. TORQUE! screenshot contest is over! Everyone who is a licensee of any Torque product can vote for a favorite entry until the 25th of November.
I'd like to express my thanks to everyone who has contributed art to this contest. My goal was to show everyone around what Torque is capable of, and I think that - in the very short time frame of the contest - you guys have managed to make some jaws drop.
I also want to apologize because the entire contest was on for only about five days. It was just not enough to prepare with an entry for many of you. I am confident that the success of this contest will pave a road to more contests in the future.
Thank you once again for all the entries.
Keep in mind that only your very first vote will be counted would you cast several votes. To review the prizes of the competition, please visit the contest thread.

Thank you for taking the time to vote.
Feel free to continue discussing entries in this thread.

Wow, great stuff guys, really hard to choose. But I vote #9

The amount of detail in there to make the area feel unique is just amazing. That is no simple task. Most middle eastern areas consist of about 2 or 3 different buildings and just repeated all over.
Though it was difficult to chose it over #1.

Yes, I had some problems with the porting of our buildings from TGEA to T3D for this screenshot. It was screwing up textures (materials), so I had to use 2 non custom buildings to at least have the textures look right, as I was short on time.
The 2 others, engines, chars, etc. is our own stuff…
I vote for #7 becasue I'm in love with it, had it not been there it would have been #11 due to them really sweet waterfalls.

One thing that I'd like to see in the future would be programming contests of some sort, as that's a little more up-my-alley.
[edit]
JesseL, thanks :) I'm hoping to make a beta release sometime this fall.
