            liam887 !!! Fantastic work thanks for posting, I am the last person in the world to talk about rendering, but why don't you give Kerkythea a try , it,s free and i find it a great thrill to see a model come to "life", your 2d images are great don't stop doing them πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

              Im having a lot of trouble getting it to work on my MAC 😞. I have 3dsmax8 & lightwave through Uni so I can render in them however I feel illustrating my models gives a more personal touch and sets them aside from renders? I also prefer the look of them compared with renders (renders that I can do anyway, im sure in somebody elses hands my models would look far better rendered by somebody who know what they where doing lol).

                        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!

                                    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.
