[FerryvD]

wow very nice piece of architecture and only with those shapes.

Great work!!

[twistedpoly]

[mimo8]

great archviz - very monumental object. amazing realism http://www.brain-one.at/mmm/bunny.gif

too bad that we cannot loggin cgarchitects.com with the cgtalk account. would have loved to look at the others

[Newke]

All the competitors had 12 days to make an image. I worked each evening and week end, so I think i put 50-60 Hours on this one.

[daloop]

superbe images comme dab !!!:thumbsup:

[RyanChapin]

Wow, very nice! I love the limited palette and the really wide camera angle.

[Milivoj-Lemonade3D]

great work!Really inspireing!

[cadavatar]

Awesome design. I can't help but wonder how the angles of the exterior glass would work with the interior spaces, but it's a really cool shape for a building.


I admire the detail that went into this, the concept, and the results.

...and hope that my 3D efforts will result in this kind of feedback someday.

[itsallgoode9]

amazing that it's entirely made with primitives...what an AWESOME restrictions for a competion, or even for teachers to give students as a project. Amazing work, especially the composition

[JawKAtaNa]

im curious what the other entries looked like, especially the first place & second place entries. i mean, your is just amazing and i cant think of another entry that would be more superior.

[NemPhas]

hi man this is the best architecturel pic I've seen this year.
Man and only primitives too, very well done.
5 stars from me ace buddy:thumbsup:

[Shadrach]

Lol, Firefox messed up and only the second pic in your first post loaded in... I was like; 'what the hell is everyone going on about...does it have some deeper, impressionist meaning?'

Nice work though man, (after I'd hit F5) :)

[Tilstrom]

very nice work, well done. :)

[tdamcbigity]

50-60 hours of gloryworlds! Fantastic! Perhaps I'm not looking but which primitive did you work with to provide us with the towerific glass pillar of awesome, what?

Thanks for the render!

[Swoop]

Looks extremely nice.. reminds me of Appleseed .. the new movie ;)
Love the reflections, but above all i love the perspective, and all the little characters... amazing work. Love to be able to do stuff like that :D

[Riddick]

Great great great work newke!
Certainly the most powerful art you 've ever made!
Great buildings, nice atmosphere and lighting!
Génial quoi!
Good luck for the contest!
You rocks!:buttrock:

[ANTIFAN]

Great work! - I love the vertigo inducing perspective.

[Newke]

Thanks guys :)

tdamcbigity -> I've used only the half circle shape to make the main building.

[neofg]

Wow! That's more than beautiful... 5 stars from me!
It's a wonderful work with simply shapes...
I like the design...
Can u explain something about lighting, that I find amzing, and about how u make textures?
Good art, really...

[Adriano-Zanetti]

Nice work dude!

I'm not a big fan of that row of small buildings on the left side, they look a bit like carton boxes to me ;0) But for the rest it's all good, especially knowing about that primitive object constraint, I think you did great. That Main Building is quite surreal, very creative.

The Atmosphere ain't really my thing, reminds me a bit of that final "Matrix revolution" shot... I dunno, I guess it's just me, those warm pinky purplysh colors probably are hot these days .... hmmm... well... it's more Orange yellish than purple... and I like Orange, forget about it, I like it :O)

Good work dude !

pe@ce

[alexyork]

great job! :thumbsup: you really spent time putting in the tiny details which is what gives it its sense of scale. very nice, especially considering the limitations.

[zineddine_boubertakh]

genial ton image vraiment chapeau :thumbsup:
tres tres belle composition et tres beau rendu :applause:

mais fait attention au seisme je suis pas sur que ca tiendra ;o)

bonne continuation
T architecte ?? ou infographiste ?? de formation

[Newke]

Merci zinedinne, Je suis infographiste de formation, pas architecte, mais je bosse dans une agence à Clermont-Ferrand.

[ffourier]

très jolie nicolas. Le niveau de détail est vraiment impressionnant et j'adore l'atmoshpère global qui se dégage. Le rendu est très très beau. J'avais aussi voulu participer a ce concours mais j'ai jamais eu le temps de finir le batiment :)

... ya 5 rendus

Je rivalise pas lol vraiment encore bravo pour cette superbe réalisation.
Mince j'ai plus l'habitude de parler français sur ce forum moi ;)

[b-element]

Amazing job: great idea, great rendering :applause: :applause:

[Mattus]

VERY GOOD!

Amazing that you used simple primitives to create the variated buildings, very nice work.

Matt

[ralphmanning]

Wow, I love it - Very impressive. First and second place must really be something for this to come third. Well done.

[Kerem]

This is absoultely amazing ! You must be the winner... I never saw this kind of high detailed model with using primitves only. Unbelievable !

[Rennie]

Wow that is simply amazing.
On what kind of pc did you make this, can't begin to image how much performance that scene takes.

[DANKA]

Amazing work! Great inventiveness!

[Trower]

It's great to see a piece of work produced to this standard, knowing the kind of constraints the artist was subject too. Truly inspiring. :)

[Mattus]

Agreed! - How long have you been using 3DsMax Nicolas?

[Newke]

Thanks guys !
Mattus -> i'm using 3Dsmax since 2 years and half
destroyfred -> Dommage que tu n'ai pas fini, car le design du batiment est superbe ! Je te suggère de continuer...:D

[Chazzi]

:eek: wow... it's beautiful no crits. Nice design on the main building too. I gotta try out v ray one day.

[ChanceXUAN]

Really great work!The building is really special!

[chikos]

:applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[didier13]

Excellent comme d'habitude Nico - 5 stars

[thatoneguy]

That's a really fun piece. I chuckled when I saw your trees, they look better than alot of extremely high poly trees I've seen used before. Excellent texturing.

[Neeno]

i said damn that good when i saw th pic then i saw the reason and how you did it and went Holy Damn that is awesome! ... 5 stars my friend.. well deserved

[Luciferul]

it looks interesting and original

nice job

[yuhaoyue2005]

nice job ,i like it

[leho]

can you please make one render in force wireframe mode or smth. that would be really cool. thnx
:D

[goktugg]

seems nice*great!...with good angle:thumbsup:good job!!

[jpthedesigner]

wow E MAZING... 3d is so powerful it sacres me sometimes! how long this this beast take to render?

[TwinSnakes]

Hey..great pic. Any chance of a HiRes version for my wallpaper?

Thanks. :thumbsup:

[leho]

a great example of that you don't need to model in order to create a very spectacular picture :D

[PO-8]

fantastic picture!

the immersion in your virtual city is total... the cam is just at the right place and the look of the render is very nice, bref, bravo nicolas! :thumbsup:

[Natrix Papst]

If I see ya picture I think on matrix style. I'll never can do something like that XD

[attila]

Amazing work! Go on!

[Tawneycocker]

The forshortening confuses the eye a bit but I can not but think that such a creation could with stand a good deal more than the tiring shoeboxes of today that often pass for buildings. One can't help but think that Buckminster Fuller would be envious of your design. Yours in art Tawneycocker

[jenn-yu]

i like your imagination! is fantastic, and the lighting is really impress! good job

[Malek]

The way the sun shines on that building, so beautiful. I love it :)

[minufx]

Wow!!! Great job!!!

[viv3d]

bravo :)
tu as réussi à me donner le vertige:eek: :thumbsup:

[q163p]

The mansion presents the experienced person to present
Good work!

[littleac]

Wow, thats incredible! Interesting use of the shapes you were limited to. It looks like you put a lot of work into it.

[VKarlsson]

This is really impressive. 5 stars!

[Deus Synthetikata]

What software did you use for this picture... I must ask so that I may begin to create my own cityscapes.

[Kerem]

He is using 3ds Max. You can see more of his work at his web site -

http://www.infographiestudio.com/

I am his fan ! :scream:

[stalkeron]

huge piece for that amount of time. render is great, the perspective is not just right, but, then, i couldn't have done the buildings better... :)
