I can just imagine what it would look like to print all of these out and plaster them all over my walls. Talk about immersion!

That's a nice one!

You're asking for the guy to start from scratch.

yep, it'll be more work, but maybe someone would volunteer to translate?

hm... I could give it a shot, if there's a file with not rendered text

It can always just be thought of as a nice little lesson in German...

I now know what the German word for circle is.

Where from? The 'Wallpaper' section of the downloads area?

And many many thanks to Michael for bringing it to us.

The first files have now been uploaded in the X³ Bonus section. There are 3 different qualities (and hence file sizes) available.

my god, how many hours did you put into this? it's amazeing.

I demand Bernd foots the initial bill to produce huge wall sized posters for us to buy.

and, yeah an english version would be nice, but it's not like you have to be a brain scientist to figure out what things mean.

Now if it were in Chinese or something like that, then we'd have a problem...

That's about £25 (+£8.50 p+p) for an A0 size poster on good paper, going up to about £140 if you want it on the really nice stuff...

(I checked, just in case

)

Map 2 is now available. The images should upload every day at 12pm CET (that's 11am here in the UK).

If there was wallpaper with this amazing art I'd redecorate my house! Just imagine playing X3 in room with that kind of surround art.
