Description
It's finished!...ha ha just kidding, another of my 'looks finished from this angle' shots. I actually just copied a section of Sector 5 and pasted it onto the unfinished ones.This fine render you see took roughly an hour to render on a more powerful machine than my home one, and utilizes final gathering, a feature that makes renders take much, much longer than they should but gives more realistic lighting.

Between the top 10 floors or so, and the floors seen below the large barrel-like structure, how are the floors arranged? In my Minecraft Midgar, the Shinra Building is giving me troubles.

Nice View using virtual camera and great city of midgar I like the city did you use crysis 2 map editor? or 3DS Max, googlesketch up?

Hi glad you like it! All of this was made using Autodesk Maya.

A Beautiful render!
This inspires me to build a Midgar model of my own.
Some particles emitting from the reactors would make this thing pop!

Maybe, if I ever get around to finishing this one off...

gawd.. i want a sandbox game of this so badly.. lol

Such a good effort there, only eclipsed by Square-Enix themselves!
Would be interested in doing this as well. Beating this though, will be a challenge

Man...fantastic rendering of the city. Final Fantasy VII's architecture has always been, in my opinion, the best of any of the games. Fantastic work!
Even if it just remains a model, it's still very impressive.

T.T so any clue what gae this will be ported into yet?

Currently I've been doing testing in Crysis, and that'll be the game it goes into assuming nothing better comes along before I finish the model.

Truly amazing, you must be relative of the Saint Job, incredible patience o_o .
Can you give some data of the project?
Engine used? Render Time? Total vertex & poly in scene?
Very inspirational. Some months ago i started a similar project in blender, in order to learn the basics in that soft, is not as good as yours but it took me a lot of time, lol.

Hi, glad you like my work!
Ok, It was made and rendered in Maya (Mental Ray used for the newest renders), render time varies a LOT depending on what's being rendered, honestly I can't give a number atm so I'll get back to you on that one (It's not quick tho I can tell you). Total Polys, I believe last time I checked were around the 2 million mark with everything I've made in the scene visible.
Ooo that's a neato little Midgar you have there, just a bit too dark too see everything properly, but very cool none the less.

thanks!^_^
seems so long ago now since I started this at SAE...

I'm surprised you hadn't used final gathering before now. It's so useful and pretty!
I hope you changed your lighting setup and materials to work with the new rendering system?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes it does produce better results, however it also increased render times dramatically >_< (We're talking hours for single frames)
Yeah the lighting and such has all been changed, materials are just always changing in general since I'm always upgrading them.

your midgar renders get better all the time. This one looks close to the style of Advent Children, if Midgar was still intact. Great Work!

Thanks, kinda been aiming at the tech demo/CC extra ending style since the AC one's a mess

Hey I can see my house from here!
Looks awese~!

Hey look there it is! Nestled snugly in sector 7, where no possible harm can come to it

I forgot what platforms fall...lol

7, Bad day to be you

incredible, but i'm waiting for the last of the sectors to be laid out. I imagine 8 will take awhile as a fair portion of it is explorable in ff7 and CC. Regardless, highly worthy of background!!
Keep up the great work

Lol, and wait you shall be doing, as those arent that high on my priorities (ShinRa HQ comes first

I'm not sure I like this lighting, stylistically it feels less crisp? Which is appropriate for Midgar, but my eyes are just so used to bright things.
If you didn't render it on your home computer, where did you render it? Australia must be awesome if there are just powerful computers hanging about begging for attention on street corners. *---*

That would be the final gathering, I've still been tweaking the settings on it and the one that kinda adds some blur to the pic was a bit high when I did this pic, tho the test render I did of the Mako Cannon today was a lot clearer.
Lol, I wish. Actually I do architectural modeling at work and I've got a pretty powerful workstation there which I've been using to do renders when I'm not using it, still Midgar brought that machine to its knees too XD.

Gorgeous, and my new background. I think I'll use the fact that I don't want the sides cut off as an excuse to get a widescreen monitor!

lol, thanks! I actually made the pic that size to fit on my work computer's screen!

Wow Noen....... I always love your stuff ^_^ Your Shinra/Urban Midgar stuff is gorgeous! It really brings an amazing look to one of the best games ever!
π: 0 β©: 1

π: 0 β©: 1
Autodesk Maya 2008 plus a lot of time and patience
