Lyon in 1700

[Klog]

My God! Did you model the whole city? This is quite nice modeling work and inspires me to seek the next goal. How large is your file? Or is it several files? I wanted to do Mount Saint Michelle, but thought the level of detail needed would prohibit it. No? I did a Gothic cathedral - see: http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=81&t=39961 and that file ended up about 60 MB - interior and exterior combined. So if you have suggestions to reduce file size, I am interested in them, please.
Thanks for sharing ...

This model should be featured as "most impressive SU modelling". Just great and great renders.

thank you.
The city is currently divided into two pieces, 47 and 51 mega.
Once completed, there should be about 8 blocks.
I use a lot of components, but there is no magic formula.
Avoid curves when possible ... no sculpture for example.
Striking the right balance between realism and simplicity.

Never ending work? Always great to see the development.

Great work. I don't understand what all the arches are blocked with. Is that concrete?

[fabrice de lyon]

Thank's.
The arches are of stone. Looks like concrete?

Can you say MASSIVE!!! Awesome modeling skills. Looks too clean for 1700's IMO. Would love to see some dirt
cheers

Thank's
it's that difficult for me to add dirt.
The easiest way is to do with photoshop but I'm not good.
If someone wants to experiment on my images, I am interested.

Wow!

Wonderfully done!
I really like the subtle tonal range of your rendering and the soft lightning.

Thanks
