This is the largest project i did for quite a while. A lot of experimenting went into this monster. Trial and error&#8230; as usual. The scene shows quite an epic futuristic cityscape. Actually no too big story behind it. Just the imagination of mine that always wants to see such big and amazing vistas. &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/v5.tigaer-design.com\/?p=86\">City of lights<\/a>&#8216;, an earlier project of mine, was a first try at such scenes. The light scheme is almost the same too. Just love this lighting setup.<\/p>\n<p>I started this project in c4d and used some basic models for futuristic looking buildings and modified them. Then i moved the objects into vue and arranged the scene. Quite some work went into the setup there, where to place what, and so on. Also, a very important thing, was the lighting of the scene. As usual i did go for the drama&#8230; a backlit situation with some cool contrast going on. I don&#8217;t even know anymore how long it took too render. Something like 15hrs to render the base picture. Rendered several times until i got it right. In photoshop i added the lights, windows and atmosphere. And i tell you people&#8230; i&#8217;m done with lights and windows for now. You can be assured that 85% of the lights in there&#8230; are placed and revised by hand. A lot of precision work went into that stage. Also altered the buildings with details to make them look not too uniform. Long story short a lot of work went into this. Basically worked on it since february. With longer breaks though.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Intuos3 &#8211; Photoshop &#8211; VUE &#8211; 5500px wide<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/v5.tigaer-design.com\/gallery\/painting\/epica_se_pack.zip\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/projects.tigaer-design.com\/epica\/epica_sepack_pre.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Regards<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/v5.tigaer-design.com\/sign.gif\" alt=\"signed\" align=\"middle\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EPICA Alright!
