Damn, in that teaser you can easily see Vancouver... I can even pinpoint where my house is... Can't quite resolve it but still...

 

[bunker]

<< One more picture here:

US WEST COAST 6.3MB >>



sweet! The JPEG kinda blurrs the image though, I'd like either a JPEG at quality 12 or the original image WinACEd

 

[Ultima]

<< Ooo nice... did anyone else notice there's a little white spot around NYC and the adjacent boroughs? Man, I never knew that NJ was so green... or the rest of the East Coast either. >>



A lot of that green is probably just grass or the like
Wait until the full image... then you'll be able to see the sprawl that is NY or LA (and isn't LA worse?)

 

[silverpig]

Hurry up with that full version... uncompressed please...

 

[dakata24]

Dude, can you get it to print photo quality, glossy and all? I bet a few in here would give a few $$ for your troubles.

You know what would be really FREAKING cool. To get the 600MB one made into a HUGE poster that would cover an entire wall.

 

[MeanMeosh]

i made the 2 meg photo into a wallpaper for those who want it, nothing fancy, just that with black borders

Text

hopefully, one of you will do something cool with the black borders, i cant photoshop very well

Edit: its 1024 by 768, lemme know if you want some other res as well.

 

[lotust]

Sill chanting. we want the big one. /me chants BIG ONE big ONE Big ONE hehe

 

[lotust]

do not.. i repeat do not set this 6.xx version as a backround... lol evan with 512mb ram 1.4ghz you will crash and burn.

hehe I knew it was a bad idea but i had to try.

 

[notfred]

ALl you people who want the big one - hurry up and tell NASA to send it to me

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

How the hell are you going to host it?

IIRC you can't see the Great Wall from the moon, dunno about just outside of the atmosphere

<< sweet pics.. thank god for broadband.. >>



I second that entirely

Bring on the 600mb one.

I want to use this broadband for more then just surfing around here quickly

haha, i set as my background on my p3 866mhz with 512 megs of ram and it worked fine . anyway, i made the wallpaper for the sole reason of not wanting to load up a huge file each time i refreshed my desktop. and this way, i dont have to have it all streched and skewed out anyway

There's censored parts of the West Coast picture. If I had Photoshop installed, I could tell you exactly where one of them is.. I just chanced to find it when I chose a point to zoom WAAAY in. There's a little red box drawn around it too - but it's not noticeable from the whole picture.


EDIT: Okay.. It's just south of the northern California border in about 1/3 of the length of the northern border from the ocean. Just zoom in that area until you see a red box.. The stuff inside the red box looks nothing like the surrounding image.


Anyone know what that is?

 

[silverpig]

I noticed that too... Thought it was just a transfer error or a result of some buggy compression...

 

[Joyride]

So where exactly is area 51?

You can't just edit that part of the USA out

 

[StattlichPassat]

DUDE! I was about to send you this- little did I know you'd be the 2nd person on here to post a reply. :Q I saved these as well... absolutely incredible.

<< So where exactly is area 51?

why not? someone with good photoshop skills could easily 'remove' places like area 51.

"Put it as my desktop. Kind of slowed down the comp"

Yeah mine too! I'm trying to take a screenshot (sans icons and toolbar) @ 1280x1024 to see if that wouldn't cut down the lag.

"I'm going to texturize a sphere in 3dstudio with this brb"

WHOA! Good idea! Post that sucker when you're done- will it be able to rotate around?
