A futuristic scenario depicting the somewhat neglected, massive industrial suburban areas of the future mega cities.
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.
the future of the earth looks to be a very overcrowded place, so your image looks very good and likely accurate - apart from the flying car; I don't think that'll happen so soon as 2100, maybe 2600? Only because I think science has more important things to worry about like food and energy production. Awesome imagination and skill
WOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOW!!! This image is so beautiful!!! The texture is mesmerizing!!! This is going to sound like I'm crazy, but I've always dreamed of what a futuristic city would look like, and this is the type of futuristic city I've always imagined. I know you've put in a lot of time and effort with this image, but thank you so much for taking so much time to create such a beautiful image. If I had the money, I'd buy this image in a heartbeat! Heck, I'd buy all of your beautiful images in a heartbeat! YOU ROCK!!!
In mid 1995 I bought my first 3D software called Bryce and have been using it ever since.
It's great for landscape creation and much else.
In fact Bryce has been essential for the creation of most of my sci-fi, surreal and space artwork.
A 3D software I can highly recommend:
