Rabanastre like city WIP
-
I've been working on this model for a little while now and though I'd share the progress I've made so far. This city has been inspired by my love of Final Fantasy's (XII in particular) architectural design and various art styles. My favorite city from FFXII, Rabanastre, has always captured me in it's design and so I've always found my self trying to make models like it. This model I started using only one image as a reference.
This is the image that influenced the model:
While the model differs in many ways it helped me get started. Here is what I have so far and more is hopefully coming. I'm sorry I forgot to lower the image resolution =(
Zoomed out shot of the whole model (kinda hectic)
Zoomed shot of the side
A side building
Back of the building just shown
The Heart Building as I call it right now (entirely inadvertent when I made it)
Iso view of the Heart Building
Early stages of the walkways (hopefully I get to improve them)
Just another view of the catwalks and the back of a building
The top of the building that supports the ring
Top view of the model without all the clutter
Shows the different elevations not quite as apparent with all the grates
So that is all I have so far and by my standards its okay but I need outside comments. Also I'd like to throw a question in there. How should I as a 15 year old go about pursuing a career in 3D (hopefully games but 3D in general). I use SketchUp in combination with Maya through the student program but I have no idea where to really go with all the things I am learning. Again sorry about the image size... Thanks!

You can go into architectural visualization. In any of the fields, developing your art technique and studying are key. But I think, like "CAD", 3D modeling is a tool for something bigger you will do. Maybe you will be a creative person like John Lasseter, or maybe you will be an architect or engineer. It has to be MORE than just doing the technical or fun stuff, or you may end up just a CAD jockey with wings. Find your passion to use your skills on.
but...VERY cool work here. I look forward to seeing more! Thanks for posting!
