WOW! Really impressing city! :thumbsup: The start on the energy rays is great!

The only thing I find kind of disturbing are the ends of the ring, with no building on.

Waiting for more!
:beer:

[Leesee]

This look very nice.I wish to see closer view,the buildings look to much like ants.I think perhap you can show more detail on closer buildings.And let farther ones like they are now? Also this is just like treasure planet,exactly.
Still this looking real good,just more nice detail needed for closer model and more difference from treasure planet ,something perhap you could change to make more original.:thumbsup:

very well detailed, you could put more lights or windows in the "structures" to give more life.

[Lemog]

Old but cool your starport :thumbsup: 9 years of difference between these two projects... you have a true experience now...

[ficolo]

Old but cool your starport :thumbsup: 9 years of difference between these two projects... you have a true experience now...Yes! And I have many tools.....:) The past software is very very difficult to work...

[ficolo]

I really respect your vision and wish you the best to bring it to life!!
Your old image looks astonishing good for the certain period!

PS: I have a same vision in bringing to life a futuristic videoclip of "Heart of Steel" performed by Manowar since 1993...but as my signature's moto says....

[speedline]

[El Toro]

Looks really good, but I think you should make the width of the beam in the center a little smaller, just like you had in your sketch, that looks cooler in my oppion.

Hi there Francesco.
The whole ring looks great, love the laser beams, and the detail of the whole city, excelent job here, thumbs up!

[Lemog]

3 points are better now... the lighting of the city...
the blue shadowing a true good idea...
and the ray is great... but only one details don't agree me on it... the borders are too right, too clean, not too much electric... I hope you see what I said with my poor english... :bounce: go mister Wip...

[terraarc]

Nice progress! The blue shadow does work very well as Lemog stated! :thumbsup: I think that the beam needs some more energy on it...

Waiting for more!

PS:Have a nice month!

[jddog]

I'm impressed about the quality of the modelling but more on the texture work, congrats Francesco...

jdd

[MickymX]

AMAZING!!:eek: :bounce:
Why have I not seen it before...
I discover this entry and i like your concept Mister Casanova/playboy!!
The attraction of the element by blue ray (hummm It's remind me the power of the blue ray in Atlantis (W.Disney anim..), camera, color....
Great modeling (how do you place your different element on the curve arghh i'm a noob).
Think i'll follow your progress ...waiting for the next.

MickymX
Sorry for my english:sad:

[ficolo]

Kaksht: very thanks I hope to post the next update soon.... Ciao and stay tuned:bounce:

Lemong: Ciao my friend thanks for the your last word I'm happy that you like... for the borders of the rays I don't want create a electrics ray but a ray similar to plasma with internal turbolence...Anyway I work on it thanks for your suggests....Ciao and soon I post on your thread.:thumbsup:

terraarc: Yes I work on this.... thanks and see you soon...:thumbsup:

jddog: Very very thanks for your words...:)

MickymX: Thanks for your words but if you don't want that Linda Kill me not call to me Casanova please:) Anyway thanks and see you soon

[Lemog]

I don't want create a electrics ray but a ray similar to plasma with internal turbolence...Anyway I work on it thanks for your suggests....I understand and I'm ok... I don't find the good words for explain... the only thing I found is electric ray... but I don't think to something like arcs... but a ray with borders more smooth... :shrug:

[speedline]

Hey Ficolo...I'm always impressed by your masterpiece:thumbsup:

wip of the rays linker

[Kaksht]

Hi Francesco!
The lasers look even more awesome then before, looks more real now.

[Lemog]

Blue lasers are better now :thumbsup: maybe some few halo... llike smoke... but very lite... in the dark around the rays...

[tikson]

Beautiful and elegant... Yes, rays are much better now.

I guess that aristocracy is living in center and working class lives in the edge :).

Will you add some lights to the city?

[baby]

I agree, much better with thin rays.

tanti baci my king ;)

[terraarc]

Nice image is the last one! :thumbsup:
The rays are better and the glow at the beginning of the connectors looks good (some white-ish glow would look good too, but you now better! You have this scene in your head for nearly 9 years!!)

Waiting for more!!

:bounce:

[El Toro]

The beam look much better new they are thinner in the middle, as I said before it would :wise:

`Try to invert the bump. now it`s going inside. Maybe it will be better to outside.

[Dutchman]

Your workflow is simply very amazing! [first making an awesome 'sketch', and then placing the objects in 3D over them] Maybe I'll use that way of creating an image in my next project :twisted:

And also your modelling is just amazingly awesome!

Hope to see your final within a week (hopefully you'll be able to say the same about mé ;) ) :) ,

Hi there Francesco!

Nice planet dude! :thumbsup: Looks realy great, but imo it need some atmospheric glow in around it, like in the sunshined area :) oh and that lens flare doesnt look as it should be there.

• 6 More days Ficolo! :bounce: Hurry up pal! your image is one of my expected final images :thumbsup:

[jddog]

wow really a "spettacolo" :bowdown:

jdd

[neble]

Nice image of the planet, but I think it needs a layer of clouds. Even though it might not be earth exactly, it's close enough for people to associate with it and feel there's something missing. Cool idea with the space station.

Nice to see someone following the Space theme. :)

[tzktime]

Beautiful planet, the best I seen so far!

[terraarc]

Hey Ficolo! The planet is pretty nice...:thumbsup:

If I remember correct the final image includes a portion of the planet....That is another way to say.."Can we have a closer view?" :p

Keep it up mate...Bring all those beauties together!! :bounce:

[rattlesnake]

hey man your work is comming really nice...keep pushing!..just a few more days!!...ill be waiting for your master piece

[evanfotis]

Hi ficolo,
I wanted to wish you best of luck!
I liked your concept from the begining, and through out these 3 months -unlike most other cg artist in this challenge- you had the strength to resist adding too many elements, and so managed to keep your image bold and striking.
Your'e a craftsman, an inspired one, and you work fast too. I think you deserve nothing but the top.

[Squibbit]

hey that really is a cool lookin construct ! could we get a closeup later ?

[Lemog]

Your earth was very impressive Fico... Run run run man... we want the final picture :thumbsup:

[markovicd]

[speedline]

Forza Francesco!!

It is one of the most impressing works here, but when I look at it longer and longer:) I thought that the border line between the glowy atmoshpere and the rest of the planet is too sharp and too muh defined. But still, amazing piece of art!
