I did this 3D Sci-Fi city image 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. I also planned for more air cars. 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 me about 230 hours to complete. Everything was modeled and rendered in 3DS MAX 2. All textures were painted 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. This must be one of my most popular and successful Scifi images to date.
