The last time I posted something in this forum, it was still called Elysium, and all dark grey and orange. I haven’t used Blender much since.
feels completely behind the times cough
So, just a little project to get back in shape with Blender.
That was the start of it yesterday.
And attached is the slightly improved version I did this night. I don’t really know what to think of it. It seems to lack a lot of things.
Maybe I should texture it, but honestly, I’m a bit affraid of that part 
I know!
Run it through Indigo!
It’s hard to make a bad render with Indigo.
Please?
By the way, I really like it!
Yea this is really cool! Love the whole theme of it. An Indigo render would be awesome!!!
Looking good, looks like a Mediterranean or Arabic city. Like something you would see in Assassins Creed, only more built up.
It just needs a few people in it to give it a bit of life. You could make it cartoony like, thus meaning you don’t really need to do too much with the texturing.
Ok, I’ll do an indigo render when I have the indigo sources :rolleyes: <j/k>
Well, a render on an external renderer may be a good idea, but not before the scene is finished 
Sammo54: So true, about the lack of people. I may try to add some. The cartoony theme seems like a good idea - especially when it’s about modeling people 
(not sure I can still do that, argh. Saddly, 3D is not like bike - you can forget it)
You could always do a luxrender (sources included) 
I like the way it looks as is, it would be cool in an animation. What kind of light setup are you using?
try makehuman. a really easy way to make people, that you can export to blender.
it looks really good. keep it up
Reminds me of Escher, can’t wait to see it completed.

Hm, maybe now I can say that it’s done, and try various renderers.
(It seems the luxrender exporter doesn’t like Oren-Nayar diffuse shaders, and ignore them, so it made a 99% white city :D. I’ll try it again later, with Indigo and SunFlow too)
However, I’m sure I couldn’t help but tweak a few things here and there in the next weeks.
Bigger version >> is here <<
And yes, I way lazy and only added two grannies in a corner 
And really, you don’t want to see the mesh. :evilgrin:
I also did a bit of texturing, on the orange building on the bottom, and on a few elements. It’s hardly visible but it’s there.
About the light setup :
There’s a single Sun lamp, slightly yellowish. (energy ~1.6)
Ambiant Occlusion is set to Sky Color (which is blue, and energy ~1.5) - the aim is to have a warm light and some colder shadows.
wow! i love to stay in the upper rooms!
Great work! t looks awesome. Not quite sure about the grannies but still a great pic
