Thanks for viewing.
What is this image:
This is a Work in Progress of the City of Lyon, France in the 1300s. I have been working from maps and old sketches from around the 1500s and trying to adopt for this period.
How was it done:
The image is created in Vue 5 Infinite. I used a single terrain for the main city area and country side around it. Basically the whole image except for the distant trees and hills. The buildings are modelled in Vue.
I coloured a reference map in PS for the river and then applied that to the terrain editor. I then built up the hills.
Next I coloured the roads in PS and inserted into Vue for multiple textures using a similiar process.
After texturing I mapped many eco systems over it using the same PS process. There are separate ecoSystem layers for:
-the buildings
-another for the rock walls
-another for the trees
-another for the crops
-another for miscellaneous objects of many and various trees and rocks
-and one for the 533 cows.
All this work and still only a single object :).
Next I did some more models (modelled in Vue) for the churches, bridges and walls. I added a couple of flocks of birds (just got to have them). I then added some specific buildings along the riverside.
The entire model is now 3,005 objects with over 3.4 billion polygons.
The image was rendered with Global Illumination in Ultra mode and took about 12 hours to render.
I am about to render a large image but have a lot of detail work to get done first.
