Description
Hi there!Yet another "against-the-light" matte painting.
I want to show off a post apocalyptic destroyed cityscape, maybe after a war.
It's done with Photoshop CS and After Effects.
I kept the buildings in several layers and added fog in between.
Finally I rendered a camera pullback in After Effects with a previous version of the matte.
Please use "save target as ...", since I haven't optimised the clips for streaming:
PC - WMV-File, WM Version 8 Codec (3.4 MB): [link]
MAC - Quicktime, Sorenson Codec (9.8 MB): [link]
For those who are interested in having a look at the initial sketch: [link]
Thanks hoon, for helping me out with the final color correction
Cheers, Daniel

beautiful man, the insane amount of detail is just delightful.
the lighting and colour is very nice. The fog layers work good for the depth.
Great work

Heh, I just saw Spielberg's newest blockbuster, War of the Worlds, yesterday. It kinda reminds of that final picture with the elegantly befitting voice of Morgan Freeman.

How to not repeat what the other devs wrote? Amazing, man, really! U gonna make a movie later? U are a I-N-S-P-I-R-A-T-I-O-N to me, a big one! I am planning a short movie like this for a couple of months already, but I still do not have enough skills. Thanx for encouraging me without even knowing it

what are those random light blue 'light sources' here and there? electricity or something else? anyway very neat and eye pleasing stuff, love the soft colors, make a great contrast to the harsch topic. i hope you make this available as a print, i have a hunch it would sell.

truly remarkable. I'm floored by the quality of your creation, and that little .wma file is perhaps the coolest render I've seen on DA. :Worship:

Destruction is sexy. I really find this beautiful... it was worth the time you obviously put into it. And your icon. Dodecahedrons look awesome in 3-D. Okay. Yeah.

Looks like the power is still on in a few places.

Brilliant. I love the few lights in the buildings, kinda like if there are people there and if they have even noticed it going on, and that it shows that there once was people there and now they are 'prolly gone
Excellent work.
