-------------------------
A bit eccentric, perhaps.
I wanted a similar style to this other one I made a few weeks ago, like if it was another place in the same world and time:
Well, in fact, I used this same color scheme in several images in the last few months... Here are some examples:
I built the structure in SketchUp, rendered it in Vue. My biggest problem here was deciding when to stop building it because I just wanted to go on and on and on...
EDIT:
Several people commented on how dangerous this can be. Well, fear not because those orange stripes are in fact a force-field generator, automatically activated when someone, equipped with a "Kinetic Bracelet", enters their area of influence. The force field will automatic cancel the kinetic and potential energies of your moving body if, for example, you happen to slip and fall. Therefore, you will effectively stop your fall and start floating above the stripe. The "Kinetic Bracelet" will then call your "Hover Vehicle" to the proximity and you will be able to jump on board and select your next destination.
The "Kinetic Bracelet" has an "adventure" mode which you can activate and will cancel the effect of the orange stripes. This way you can dive between levels at will. Do it at your own risk. The insurance will not cover accidents if this mode is activated.
The "Kinetic Bracelet" has an "extreme" mode which will randomly change the effect of the force field. For example, it can increase your kinetic energy and decrease your potential energy, thereby allowing to make huge jumps effortlessly. It's also extremely dangerous... and, of course, the insurance will not cover any accident.
Warning: not all areas are equipped with orange stripes. The "Kinetic Bracelet" will not let you move in these areas unless you set it to "adventure" mode.

That. Is. AMAZING. I was using SketchUp recently for a school project, but it was slow and kinda irritating (probably because the computers aren't that great to begin with). How long did this take you?

Thanks! SketchUp can be slow if you have many plugins installed. Disable them and see if it improves. I had the same problem, actually.
This took me around 4 to 5 hours, over the course of 3 or 4 days.

There was a 1960's film called "The Swimmer" about a man who found that there was an unbroken line of backyard pools from a person he was visiting, back to his house. He decided to swim home. See it, quite a lot happens ateach stop.

Reminds me so much of a dream I had as a child, in which my entire house had bath tub level water all over it and I swam among furniture. SPecially similar in that the whole house had the bath tub's frame on the walls, so it looked like this mega pool.
Oh memories, I want to swim here. XD

When I read your comment I had a strong feeling of deja vu. I think I had a similar dream, with the exception of the bath tub's frame on the wall.
Thanks for sharing!

RuneTrantor In reply to ArthurBlue [2013-05-21 21:41:44 +0000 UTC]
You are welcome.
Interesting to see that kind of dream is more common. (Actually the bathtub wall was a simplification, the correct vision was of a house all normal, but with a bathtub extended like canals all around the house, just like in your image)

That's awesome. It lacks waterslides though, but no matter.
The red stuff is a prefect finish to the smooth white surfaces.
I can't figure out the sizes though, the waves seem a little too big. If I look at the water surfaces I wanna think the pools are about knee deep, however considering the items standing around they're obviously a lot bigger.
I wanna rebuild this in minecraft now.

ArthurBlue In reply to Gandalfx [2013-05-21 19:28:03 +0000 UTC]
I did think of water slides but that would seem too normal.
The depth is not the same on all pools. Even inside each pool, there's varying depths. Some are knee deep, others are much more. I added some more water choppiness that would probably be normal to make it look like water. At this distance, water seemed... well, not water.
If you do rebuild it, don't forget to show it to me.

Reminds me of the "Sky Fountain" waterside on the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey.

Google Maps Coordinates 38.985204, -74.808384 Morey's Piers is an attraction along the Wildwood boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey (The Peninsula). Sky Fountain is a water slide there that has multiple pools to splash in. It is an amazing vacation spot.
