Hi, this is my new big project I'm working on. I'll be able to post some stuff (Sketches, 3d, photoshop maps) soon on the forum.
I'll explained the concept really soon too. I'm doing a small wip gallery to add on my website.
---Salix---
The name "salix" is from a scientific name of a tree. My concept is about futurist city with tall skyscrappers, I want to reach the 1000m height as maximum, some architect already developped this 1km tower idea. I'm creating it in a organic way, a little bit inspired by trees and nature (some cities and planets in Star wars as Coruscant and Alderaan could be some example). The city will be in a cercle of 1km diameter if I remember well. This will be a green city (environmental, made in concrete.
No, cars, but a lot of piedestran bridges (remember Metropolis?). I'll add a tramway too.
For the moment, I already have a concept plan, started to paint it at large scale for 3D (if you remember my thread about complex landscape scene, you'll know what I mean), made some 3d towers, sketches, etc.
Stay tuned, I'll post soon

I'm very much looking forward to this project.
Have you given yourself a time limit for this one?

I started to paint the map. Almost everything is hand paint: Beach, waves, etc. I used some textures, (the grass is created with Terragen, 2000X2000 I think or bigger).
(Is it me or the beach is too Yellow? I made it with my laptop and maybe the screen isn't right
A: Baseball field won't look exactly like this at the end. I want to make a stadium on each field. Got an idea for the moment, will test it later.
B. In these parts, I want to create some pavilions. It's why it's a bit empty for the moment
C. An Entrance tower will be there, almost finished to be modeled
D. Grass with trees, some "sand paths" too
In the middle part (the grass cercle) I'll add the towers. So Footprints, pool, plaza maybe, etc. (remember no car streets)

Here is the tramway station (texture not finished at all)
Philimus Tower
This one isn't completly finished right now. I want to add more details, but for the moment, I want to model some tower before add the "final touch" This tower will be located to the left upper part on the map (where there is a blue tube) abd there will be a bridge on the ocean.
I hope to get more feedback now. will send

I like the fact that your structures are physically sound (engineering wise) and not farfetched... especially love the tower design. This is going to be a masterpiece... give it all the time it deserves!
thumbs up!

Great start so far. I can sense that this project is going to overtake your castle project.
Just because I like predicting random things, I am going to predict... Frontpage on Cgtalk.
Im really interested in the final image.
