Description
OK, a few edits. The city model is refined a bit, new textures and the lighting is nearer to what I had envisioned... More to come.--------------------------------
This is the first render of my long-runing "City" project that I'm happy enough with to put up here. (There's a couple of work in prgress images in my scraps section though).
Still some more to do, but I thought I'd put it up anyway.

It seems a bit freckled, with all the windows and how they're all kind of the same brightness, but still is pretty amazing, I like the hazy atmosphere
nice work

Fair crit. I need to get back to this kind of scene...

Oh hey didn't read that it was a work-in-progress, interested to see what the finished piece will look like 
I really want to get into these sci-fi scenes, I need more practice though.

I have so much less time these days for rendering work - full time job as a teacher gets in the way!

I can Imagine this as Dredds stomping ground(If thats the Mega City you refer too)..I think this is beautiful.it would look great in a movie

Ah ha, not THAT Megacity, but just a generic monster sprawling sci-fi city.
Thanks for the comment - I appreciate all feedback.

Mind it would work as JD's habitat...good luck with the city I like what I see so far

Damn, man those lights add to cluttering this render, which has a potential to inspire. They don't seem to fade according to the depth there is in this piece.
Else, the city is very empty, no lanes of hovering aircraft?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I agree about the lights - working on it.
There will be more vehicles, but at them moment I'm still sorting out the geometry of the city itself...
As they say - watch this space!

comming along great,looking foward to seeing it finished

I'll be back onto it after the weekend. Major changes coming.

cool looking foward to seeing the changes

Reminds me greatly of the bladerunner city... It's coming out excellently - very intricate.
I agree that the window lights need to be more diffuse though.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Shaping up nicely. The window lights need to be more diffuse, I think. Just take a look a a good night city photo as a reference.

Any suggestions as to how to do that? I've been fiddling with glow settings, but it doesn't look right.
I'm using Vue d'Esprit 4.2
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm not as familiar with Vue as I am with Bryce. But I would try your turning your ambience setting down a bit if it has one.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I tried that, but it destroys the luminance of the scene altogether, affecting the colours of the buildings themselves.
What I think I'm going to have to do is render the image withour lights and apply them afterwards...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Sounds that way. I was thinking the lights were sepaerate.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
nya! its pretty good ^^ i just love how you use the orange colour ^^
and i have a question could You go to my gallery and tell me what youre thinking about my deviation :grey sunset 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Have done so. I like it, but see my comments on the deviation.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Not bad, the textures could you a little more attention, but i like it!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Oh, I agree. I've spent much of the last three hours playing with textures... It's getting there slowly. I should have a new version up tonight.

Excellant concept and love your lighting and the volumetrics but the actual lights from the building windows could use some work, good job
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
blessing from an architect
you did everything good, orderly
nice one
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you indeed! High praise.
I'm still working on it and I'd really appreciate your feedback as it developes.
Also, thanks for the :+Devwatch:

Models looks great. I love your building designs...
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thanks. Actually the buildings are very simple objects. In earlier versions of the project they were alot more complex, these are mostly just loose assemblies of cubes and a few cylinders, cones and spheres.
Thanks for the

I see Vue..
Love the fog, I agree with the comment about the lights. tis looking good though. looks like it needs some little flying vehicles in the centre for focus.
like it
beware the mides of Arch
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
i like it. the fog is very nice. the buildings and lights are also good. only thing i dont like, is the ring on the flare on the right. i think there shouldnt be a ring
btw, did you make the lights in post work or with a glowing material?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
The lights are a glowing material - it seemed easyer that way, and will allow me to animate the scene, evenually, rather more easily.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
thought so. good choice of material for the lights
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
Very cool. I love how the light spreads through the city
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Wow - quick response!
Yeah, I'm pleased with that too. Just a couple of texture fixes and I'll be content.
๐: 0 โฉ: 0
I think there are too many windows with the lights on. It sort of looks unnatural. I like it a lot otherwise!
