This is what I have so far with this project, I want to improve on the asphalt texture and the brightness of the night version. But I have a problem, I was originally using one of the unstable versions of cycles from graphicall.org until I saw that 2.61 was out. So I downloaded that and tried to make some updates to the model, but as soon as I tried to render it (fully or in the 3D window) blender would crash. I also tried going back to the unstable version as well but it did the same :frowning:

I’m not sure what’s happened (I’ve applied all modifiers and converted curves to mesh) so any help, or critiques for when I hopefully get it working, would be much appreciated :slight_smile:

It might be a problem with material nodes, some of them have changed, so you might need to reconnect/replace some of them.
Also if you use GPU for rendering, CUDA 1.1 (and cards that support it) is no longer supported, so try switching to CPU rendering.
Great work btw!
On critique side, your street lights are too low, judging by the scale of things, just a bit higher than average human.

Thanks for the response :slight_smile: worked like a treat-I can now render.
Now all I have to do is redo the UV mapping because they’ve gone blank for some reason :slight_smile: and I’ll also take care of those street lamps.
Thanks again.
