editor Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 OK, HAIFers. It's time to show the world how good you are at turning reality into a rendering.The latest HAIF contest is to draw a Houston skyscraper on your computer.You can use Photoshop, AutoCAD, Google Sketchup, MS Paint, Koala Painter, or whatever program works best for you. But the entry must be your original work. No fair ripping off pictures from another web site.Entering is simple, just post your picture in this thread before February 1, 2009. Please, a maximum of three entries per person. I'll have an impartial third-party pick five finalists, and then we'll put them here for your fellow HAIFers to vote for a winner.Ask questions, and good luck to everyone!(Thanks to Lockmat for the contest idea!)

UrbaNerd Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 So what's the prize, eh? I guess I could show off some stuff I did a while back for SimCity and the like. (Those who know about it...SHHHH) Are 3d models rendered for gaming use ok to show off?EDIT: Wait, is this for existing scrapers, or for fantasies and the like? I have a few fantasy designs that may just fit the bill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway6 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 who has a building picked out yet ?i'm used to rendering either new projects, or other buildings where the dimensions are known. i have to admit.. having to guess dimensions from various photos makes this a little challenging to start off... esp when you plan on photomatching.
