Spectacular 3D Entry: Anirudh S Shastry

[poly-gone]

Well, I'm a little late to this challenge. Anyway, my concept for "spectacular" right now revolves around a story that is a nice conflux of sci-fi, spirituality, mythology and action. I've got my ideas in place, just need to put down the concept art on "paper".

As far as the story goes...

(Ayodhya, 2,000,000 years ago.)

The eternal war between the Devas and the Asuras has finally engulfed our world.

Ayodhya, city of the Gods and capital of Kosala, sits on the banks of the Sarayu river under a morning sky. Emperor of Kosala, Ikshvaaku, a half-human descendant of the great Deva Vivasvant, has ignored an ultimatum from the Asuras.

Miles above the cityscape, an epic battle unfolds. Thousands of Ikshvaaku's battle ready vimaanas engage the mighty Asuran forces. In an attempt to quickly subjugate Ayodhya, the Asurans fire at the city their most powerful weapon, the Brahmastra...

The concept art is pretty huge and spans across a couple of sheets! So, I'll have to get a scanner and digitize them. What you're gonna see in the final image is a huge cityscape and a massive battle in the sky above. In the meantime, I'll post some modeling-WIP renders...

This is one of seven large constructions that rise above the cityscape. It contains about 1500 objects and totals at over half a million polygons!

This is one of 8 "cityscape tiles". All the "tiles" will be tiled together randomly to create the base cityscape. The plane at the bottom will be replaced by the terrain.

The final layout will probably exceed 20 million polygons! Thankfully, handling that will be a breeze for my Quadro FX 4000.
