Description Aurora Rising

I'm still here! haha...

Very inspired by Blade Runner, although not the same feel. Always wanted to do a huge sci fi city scape, and I had alot of fun with it. The image was made for an independent study for my English class.
Cinema 4D, Vue, Photoshop and Wacom Tablet.

I included a pretty large file for download, so if you want to use it as a wallpaper feel free!

EDIT- Woo! A DD, im honored! Thanks so much Cymae and Samuel Nordius!!!

Chromattix In reply to ??? [2012-05-22 02:22:41 +0000 UTC]

I started modelling some sci-fi buildings in Cinema 4D of my own since I feel like I need to build up a personal stock so I can bring them into Vue and do just this But it got so tedious after modelling just the first building that I seemed to have put it on a permanent state of on-hold I set myself to make at least 12 unique models to avoid too obvious repeating instances

What I really find impressive here are the low buildings that make up the base of it all, particularly noticeable on the left side. Are those models too or just very clever use of procedural terrains?

fmacmanus In reply to Chromattix [2012-05-22 02:48:04 +0000 UTC]

Exactly what I did! The lower levels are made up of around 40 or so greeble buildings on four different planes, each material includes a random generation of the buildings at different sizes. It works really well! I have no idea how to use procedurals to generate metal stuff Wish I knew haha.

That kind of answers my question... that's really cool. I've not experimented with Cinema 4D before... just learning basic 3D rendering with Modo for now. Inspiring stuff!

Excellent! WOW!
It is so excruciating complex! How did you ever get it done in one life time?
Everything about it is marvelous!
What software did you use, and how did you come up with so many different buildings and textures?
This is one of the best I have ever seen!
Extremely well done!

haha, wow, thank you so much man! I'm really glad you enjoy the image!
For this piece, I used Cinema 4D(for buildings and ships) then Vue(for the environment and lighting) and finally Photoshop for the postwork, lights and textures. Once again, thanks man!
