This 3D Sci-Fi city image was done for a contest. Initially, the idea was to have a view over a futuristic city with a nice progression from the foreground and the city as the far background. Due to time constraints I ended up making many changes, so the original idea was no longer there. The whole image was created over a 3 weeks period of time, and took about 230 hours to complete. Everything was modeled and rendered in 3DS MAX 2. All textures were drawn in Photoshop.
Suburbs 2100 turned out to be a great success. It was awarded first place at a raytrace competition held at The Party'98 in Denmark. Later, it won an international Fantasy category contest held at the 3D Design & Animation Conference in USA. It was also featured in several magazines, 3D art educational books and was even shown on TV.
Enjoy this award winning Sci-Fi artwork in full glory. Many details
become first visible in large format. A timeless piece of classic 3D art - get a poster or framed print - only $19.99
brought back memories from back in 1993 -> recreated the feeling of "flashback" (the adventure game by delphine software) :) absolutely fabulous picture !!! purely awesome !!! THANK YOU :) [mesmer _ myspace.com/mesmer1979]

This is a great piece of Sci-Fi art! It has been my desktop background for a whole year in 1999. This pic was incredibly impressive when it first came out, it still is, but not nearly as much. A poster would be nice though, a reminder of 3D art of the 90s.

It's definitely interesting for sure. But if that's suburbia in the next century I'm glad I won't be around by then. No offense but where's the grass and trees?

I am one of the few lucky people who downloaded this image in a larger version (from your old site). It is amazing how this image, despite its age, is still one of the best images I have ever seen bering created. Well done.

Truely Amazing... One of the best 3D images I've seen in a while. The Taxi's remind me of the 5th Element...

Compliments on the early morning sunlight falling on the metallic object in the foreground/upper right. That's REAL sun, not a representation. Or so it feels.

I love how you used large machinery and towers to frame the image and hold the attention of the viewer, while using what looks like a pantograph rail line to give the feeling of something beyond the scene. It gives the improbable scene a sense of realism. Excellent work.

WOW!!!!! You ARE good... fantastic work done there!!! I don't usually like the 3D arts because there is no personnages in the drawings and if there are they look messed up, but you got this one straight man!!! I love the surrealistic appearance of the drawing!!!! Keep up the good work!!!! ;)

Quite a picture. I am impressed with all of your work, but I think that this is the best by far.
