Title: The Walled City
Name: Stefan Morrell
Country: New Zealand
Software: 3ds max, finalRender, Photoshop

Another futurescape,with this image I'm trying to push myself into using more color,

Inspired by the layered & cluttered look of Kowloon walled city(which has now been torn down & made into a park)..
along with the obvious Blade Runner/Fifth Element etc

thanks for viewing
Stefan

Good scenery, nice modeling, good textures and overall mood!
How long did the whole scene took to create?

beautiful work as always! I love the mix of old world and futuristic theams. Just one crit, the soft glow on the ship seems a bit too much. With that kind of light intensity I think you would see more hard reflections off the edges. Just a thought.

Chees,
Tim

hi :)
I like your works and rich details a lot.
congrats :D
I have one small crit: I think some materials need some reflections, speculars.

Very nice, good attention to detail. Some areas look a little posterized and therefore a bit flat. Is the DOF in render or post? it is causing some artifacts in some areas of the image.

Good work:thumbsup:

OMG, this is very nicely done Stefan! Great little details. If you go for more clear green on foliage, it will be even more dreamlike and colorfull. No less than 5* for you :) Keep up great work.

Pretty amazing. There's a harshness to some edges like some over sharpening was done. I love the feel. I'd love to see more people in it. A fellow climbing that ladder on the left would really sell the height and sense of peril. I love the depth cueing with the fog. Someone dangling their legs, having a smoke, off one of those rail-less sidewalks would be coolThe entire right hand side looks painted almost. Before zooming and looking at your detail views, I thought this was a stunning 2D matte painting that had been mis-posted.

It's just the attention to detail is absolutely perfect, and the nice 2d watercolor painting effects touches it off just nicely, not to mention the terrific textures & modelling

6 Stars here:buttrock:

thanks for all the comments guys! much appreciated...:thumbsup:


Tim Warnock..thanks for checking this one out,I've had your 'Farewell' image as my wallpaper for the last two weeks,a very inspiring work :)
the glow on the boat/ship..I tried it without the glow & found the ship faded into the background too much,I felt it needed something bright to make it a focal point.

ACanteral...it took around 4 days to put together,a few of the models are things I've made in the past,& mixing up the styles helped in creating the layered look.
rendertime was a couple hours at 4k res,various other elements were rendered seperately & comped in,if I'd rendered it all in one hit it would be millions of polys

Dangeruss...there are a few people in the scene if you look hard enough,several office workers looking out the large window,another one greeting a robot before entering the building.but they are all very small details & not meant to be any kind of focal point.
good idea about having someone on the ladder..wish I'd thought of that :)



Cheers!
Stefan

Sorry but I don't really 'feel' anything in this image. Everybody is right about the huge amount of detail but to me something went wrong cause there's no 'spark' here at my pc.

Thought you should know.

There's clearly so much detail and excellent texturing in this scene,
that's simply beautiful. Has a 'Blade Runner' feeling to it.

Amazing !
The atmospheric perspective works very well, and it emphasize the sharp & very stylish modeling, just as needed, with the perfect balance. I LOVE the sun highlights on the japanese-like lamps ! I dig the 5th Element inspiration too :D

Very inspirational !
