The image was intended as a photo of a 1:50 scale model, to avoid too much detailing in this competition entry. It took 12hrs to reach SL 15 (if I remember correctly) on a dual xenon dual-core, 3.0ghz with 4GB ram...

heh, had to remove the clients logo on top of the main facade...

I love it...very nice mood!

Poor child...so young! Do you think he can avoid the crash?
The mayor of papertown should invest in some traffic light!

[acquiesse]

Very beautiful, lovely quality of light...

[sandykoufax]

Very nice render, and your scene scale is really nice. It seems to be a miniature correctly.

[JTB]

Really nice image... Modeled with?

Hi JTB.

I modeled the scene in Architectural Desktop 2007, file linked it and put on materials in VIZ 2007. A very quick and efficient solution for a model with many objects with similar material properties. Probably easier ways to do it, but I find it very convenient that when I choose e.g. a slab and assign a material, VIZ will automatically give all slabs (with the same style) the same mat.

I know, I use Revit and the same procedure... Too bad there is not a plugin for Autodesk products other than Max/Viz.
I have tried to learn ADT (from ADT 3.3) but I didn't like it and I found Revit to be much easier and with a small learning curve at least for the average models. There is a loooong wishlist for Revit as I guess is for ADT but I think there is a great future ahead...

nice one....it look and work like a model.well done

[DrMerman]

Really nice image. The quality of light in the interior of the buildings is some of the nicest I've seen for a while.

[Mattia Sullini]

Less is more...even in modeling, sometimes! I really like this one and completely agree with DrMerman...overall tuning of light is almost perfect for my taste

[Thomas An.]

Very nice !

[misterasset]

Now this I like

[acquiesse]

As I said above, very nice...

I was just wondering whether you made all the little white models or whether they were a download? It's a very nice way of putting in a human scale without compromising realism.

Thanks for all nice replies, I'm truly flattened

acquiesse, the models for the cars was grabbed off cben.net while I made the people myself - extruded 2D polylines... Pretty easy, but I like the overall effect.

I'm a complete idiot when it comes to texture maps, never unerstood how to get them to work, so I'm really happy for maxwells supeb lighting and easy diffuse / glossy plastics!

it looks pretty nice ~
