Bert Monroy's Damen Station.

Alex

Bert Monroy created this photo-realistic picture of Damen Station on Chicago's Blue Line using Photoshop.

From the website, on the details of the amazing pic:

Adobe Illustrator was used for generating the majority of the basic shapes as well as all the buildings in the Chicago skyline.
The rest was created in Photoshop.
• The image size is 40 inches by 120 inches.
• The flattened file weighs in at 1.7 Gigabytes.
• It took eleven months (close to 2,000 hours) to create.
• The painting is comprised of close to fifty individual Photoshop files.
• Taking a cumulative total of all the files, the overall image contains over 15,000 layers.
• Over 500 alpha channels were used for various effects.
• Over 250,000 paths make up the multitude of shapes throughout the scene.

notChang - it's done with a projector so it'll be rather cheaper to make.

Strange choice of image. There are so many things they /could/ have done with it - but no, they descend to scantily clad women.

You could have balls of fire with explosions when they collide.
You could have tendrils of beautiful plants unfurling behind the ball with showers of seeds on impact.
A comet flying through space with planetary creation for the impact.

But no - revealing glimpses of a woman trumps the lot. How very predictable.

BikerRay: good comparison.

Yup, gotta have a picture of a scantily-clad woman to distract investors from the fact that it's a really dumb idea.

I think the "cheesecake" is there because this particular installation is in Esquires ultimate bachelor pad. May have been the magazines choice, who knows?

As for an LCD, I wouldn't want to masse on that. The whole point of doing it this way is to preserve the feel and play of the table.

And and yes it is an overpriced pointless luxury item... the 125,000 probably doesn't even include the table to play on.

Could probably do this for way less with some sort of open source software, a laptop, a video camera, and a much cheaper projector.

Some people cant just enjoy good old fashion entertainment.Half dressed good looking women have entertained people for many years before some overweight depressed pissed off fat girl decided that she is mad that noone looks at her and has to take it out on men on the web.Get over yourself and relax.Life is to short.Besides prostitution is the worlds oldest profession that was created by women.
