Need some help by making a new Map!

picture slide show type thing...

well sounds to me like u need to make a picture slide show type of effect...
one of the simplest ways i would think of is if u can model in 3dsmax.. make a flat model square then convert your oictures to tga skins for that model then use the blizzard art tools to export it as a wc3 model.
then wala u got a model of the picture u want . then u can place the model in game and adjust the camera in a way that makes it look good then use trigers to quickly animate ur slide show ( would require u to make a model for each of the pictures and a triger to animate them all in game simply by replacing eachother in sequence,
that is the easy way in my opinion
