back at school i have to do a work for art, how i make it and with what was free to choose, so i decided to make a blenderwork, cause i think this is the best thing i probably can do.
i only have 6-8 weeks time to finish this work here, so i do not want to waste time with rendering some camera fly overs or something else, so this will end up as a realtime scene (probably only running on high end pc’s, im sorry for that =D)
i coose the underground station of essen, because i like the lightning down there, its all lit up in blue lights, and it only looks cool 
at the moment im planning a few camera fly throughs and i hope that you will be able to move a bit auround without beeing directed by some paths.
at the moment im just modeling a lot of stupid models and unwrapping them. i only bake a AO map, texture work will be at the end.
so im wasting some faces, i will have to reduce the amount at the end, but if i have luck it will run fluent without reducing anything at all, tested some scenes with over 300k faces, without having frame problems^^
now some pictures 
Nice job on the beveled edges on the train.
Nice economical poly flow!!
keep it up bro

Whyhave so few left comments? I think this is a really nice start for a project–especially because the project seems attainable given the time frame. Keep working, I would really like to see this finished.
peace,

Suprised to see such a good fps. keep up the good work.
Wow this looks amazing!!
thanks for the lovely comments so far 
i started to model the upper way, is a interesting glas-metal construction there
at the moment i do not have frame problems, everything is working well and fluently
the actual polycount is 66k and 74k verts, with two streetcars, one streetcar has around 14k faces
what is missing: the wire for the streetcars, and two elevators, something is wrong with my proportions, so i have to improvisate a little bit to place the elevators right, they’ll be where the snack automat is standing.
more updates will follow at the weekend, i think.

im back with a video for you 
i hope moving pictures are more intersting than single images.
played around with dof and blur filter 
modeling in nearly completed, but as you can see in the video, there are some mesh problems, so please dont get irritated by my modeling misstakes
thanks for watching
Really nice start! 5 stars!
One tip to you… you maybe see that your lightmap are a few low resolution for the scene size , try improve the lightmap resolution or divide the scene into smaller pieces and use more images for lightmap.
thanks vitorbalbio
my lightmaps are just simple AO baked textures and i will increase the texture resulution soon
If you´re using AO try increse the samples, that can look better too!
Great job man! 
but i like this grainy ao, if its cleaner it looks boring and uninteresting later on, when i have diffuse and normalmaps, then i will render cleaner ao maps but for the moment i t makes the scene maybe a bit more interesting
something for the ones who dont like youtube
i actually have one problem, the dof filter does not use the center of my monitor to focus this central point 
the focus point is maybe 2/3 on the right handside of my monitor, does somebody know why this happens?

:eek:… dude… do you sell your models ??? Well you should… you would make TONS of $$$. You’re a pro man !!! YEAH !!! Keep going…
Happy modeling
Great video man.
