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.
The contestants in alphabetical order:
Thank you for taking the time to vote.
Feel free to continue discussing entries in this thread.

Wow, such amazing looking work, so hard to decide!
Number 21 has amazing looking terrain, but its just terrain!
I really like number 20 a lot, if thats all original artwork, I'd go for numbe 20.
Number 9 would be my second choice if number 20 isnt original artwork.

@Thanhda Tie: Thanks! That's the same problem I have with it lol. I'm just starting out with modeling so I stuck with what I'm good at. Well, that and non of my props are skinned yet :)

Not sure if I'm allowed to vote but if I am my vote is for #22. Nice looking inlets are tough to do, but that is definitely a nice looking inlet. (Is inlet even the word I'm looking for?)@Thanhda Tie: Thanks! That's the same problem I have with it lol. I'm just starting out with modeling so I stuck with what I'm good at.

@Zealander: Sorry, but only votes by accounts with a Torque engine license (any engine) will count towards the final outcome - it is an easy way to make sure everyone votes once.I do appreciate your comment nonetheless.

I've been doing some research into constructing nice island scenes in games and Syllus pretty much nailed it. I'm really curious to run around in that environment.

#4 - To me it has a great atmosphere even if the composition is a bit simple. Sci-fi FTW! :)

#20 for me! Love the detail, especially the telephone wires running overhead. Looks great 
#18
Good use of colour for the presented environment. Like #2 but #9 is more dynamic in terms of the composition. I like the organic nature of the village covering multi-levels of terrain.

7, 9, 10, 15, 19, 20
Which I think all could get my vote, and I think will be great looking games. I wanted to pick the most visually impressive to me and not base it on how hard it would be to get what is on screen using Torque.
My vote goes to... number 19, I just love outdoor scenes.

Lots of great examples here, really impressive. For me it was between:7, 9, 10, 15, 19, 20
