please i need some help...i need a 3d citiy based on a real city.how much would it cost and how much time would it take for, lets say 2-3 good designers to design it???the city would be 3x3 square kilometers big and you have to be able to walk in this town (not like google street view where you just click trough).Thanks

@chupacabra20 sorry dude I don't do this stuff anymore. I don't have the time. If I did it would be $80 ?£50 per hour. So in the region of $8,000.

very nice, i can appreciate how much work went into that - not just modelling but planning lighting, camera moves etc.

It desperately needs ambient occlusion though, i assume you didn't do this because of render times right?

[martinrandle]

Thank you for your coments.

djivesp -Ambient Occlusion was not an option on Lightwave 7.5 which this was made on. Radiosity wasn't a viable option as it would increase a frame render to 2+ hours and it would still be rendering now. Do bear in mind I made this in 2006? I added it to You tube in 2007. So all the new technologies and render speeds were not available 3+ years ago.

Very good example of getting top notch graphics without ji-res images. Very good work. The only negative was the particles used for smoke. Water looked great.

nice.

Outstanding work.  This must have been a lot of work, and it shows the effort and the energy went into it.

@martinrandle Fascinating water method there! Nicely done. How did you go about creating the normal-maps for the waves? I used to feed a few clouds into photoshop but it just doesn't look right.
