David Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Inspired by a client commission to create a 3D shopping centre. Ive wanted for a long time to create a cityscape. Its taken me about 3 solid days work split over a couple of weeks. Here is the work 90% complete. Just need to add people an alien and a few cars. EDIT: now added an X-Wing, Tardis, Dalek, A-Team Van, Yoshi Egg, Back to the Future Hover board, IT crowd man, DelBoy Van, and some Mario blocks for good measure.

Kodiak Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 • I'm impressed by the framework here and… clearly, I cannot appreciated this cityscape as well as the designers but, as a photographer, I fail to see, feel, a vanishing point in any of the three axis. …is this absence part of the artistic intent too?

David Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Yes intentionally there is no vanishing point, its made like pixel art. • I'm impressed by the framework here and… clearly, I cannot appreciated this cityscape as well as the designers but, as a photographer, I fail to see, feel, a vanishing point in any of the three axis. …is this absence part of the artistic intent too?

David Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Thanks gents! …learning every day! ;) Plus I think my 32bit brain would need a serious graphics upgrade to deal with the complexity that perspective would add ;) Quote DART | Twitter | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodiak Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 32bit brain would need a serious graphics upgrade to deal with the complexity that perspective would add ;) • My lack of drawing skills and talent are well replaced by optical physics and lens properties. ;) Best wishes to all!

Solly Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I can imagine the fun one would have basing a cityscape on hyperbolic geometry. ;) A_B_C 1 Quote Solly JFSJ N3MKH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Williams Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Very cool indeed. Isometric graphics were made popular by video games in the early 80's. They allowed developers to represent a 3D world with 2D resources. David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ive updated the artwork and have a few ideas still to add in the new year, but rather than posting each time I've swapped the first post image.
