Superb illustration. Is there a link somewhere with a larger image? I'd buy the paper but I'm about 1,800 too far!

Great work Robert. A question for you. How did you do the pseudo isometric base of the model? Was that done in Carrara or was it composited in Photoshop? Thanks fjv

I've used cameras with a field of view of 1 degree to get images with no vanishing points.

I just used the 200mm camera. As a side-note, the entire image all 3 map/models- were built as seperate models by me and co-worker James Hendricks over a two week period. When it came time to render, I thought that I would render them as seperate files and composite the results but after the third try I gave up because the perspectives never matched up. So I brought all 3 models into one file and rendered everything at once. We just got new computers last month (dual 2-ghz G5, 3 gigs of ram, fastest Radeon card they make for the Mac) so I figure, no problem. Wrong. This file brought my machine to it's knees. Moving objects around became a test of patience but rendering went okay.

I think the second CPU only helps out with rendering. Not with scene/model assembly.

For city blocks, I move my scenes around using binding-box mode. Not textured or rendered (or even line) mode.
