              Thanks its not a city just the base of the elevator. I came across a piece of concept art for the recently released Halo ODST and thought id give it a shot, its far from finished, once ive got it all roughed out il get in close and add the details!
              Ive got an animation module coming up in Uni in a couple of months so hopefully ill have enough halo stuff ready for a good animation in Max!

                    great work liam! those are great podium renders. I'm trying to make sci-fi myself, but somehow I can't do that yet....

                          Thanks Everyone

                          Well decided to go fullwhack and make the whole city then animate it all! So the base station for the elevator is pretty much finished now just have to make the bridges and train lines. Anyway here it is at about 98% complete. The Carrier was ripped from the Halo 2 game.

                              lol well not in that render anyway but dont worry its there. You should have waited haha.
                              I had to get rid of some of the detail as it was too poly heavy (ive got the whole city docks to do)and I made it a bit thinner as it was too fat for its location πŸ˜„ , but thanks again its going to be good and fits in well.

                              Also did one of the ODST pods that will be crashing down into the city, nearly finished.

                              The dock building marked TRAXUS is from halo 3 and made by UGV2 ive messaged him to see if I can use it for my model but no reply so far, ill wait a bit longer otherwise ill just have to make it myself.

                                      did some more work on it today while bored in lectures>>> There are a lot of small details that just dont show in podium renders is there a way to refine it somehow maybe change the light settings so you can see everything? Or do I have to just scale up the render size?

                                        Nnice work Liam! Maybe after you do the render you can do a line overlay in Photoshop so the details will go out more

                                            yeah I did what you said 32' and the line overlay does work better, decided to so a more cartoony look and put extra lines in.
