Hmm time for an update.

Fixed the top of the HQ, remodeled and restructured it, completely redone from scratch, dropped from 2500 poly's down to just 1775 poly's

Tiny little houses... Don't worry, I will make some variety houses so they aren't all the same!

Fill up those sectors!

LeonhartGR · « **Reply #190 on:** 2012-05-07 20:50:54 »

Midgar looks so much like a construction area in daylight lol

Killerx20 · « **Reply #191 on:** 2012-05-07 22:53:57 »

Lets see, thanks for all the replies, uhh night render yes I have a few but they are a bit older

As for filling up the plates, I'll get to that after I am done tweaking everything. I filled the plates once and had to re do everything due to swapping from FFVII styled plates to AC styled plates AND THEN I went back to FFVII style plates again.. So you understand. Oh and I spent a few years working on this, not constant work though I'd take like 5 month breaks and then get back into it again like now.

Let's all hope you'll catch up before world collapses in the end of 2012 loool I prefer AC more

The thing about Midgar is that it is neither day nor night. The whole city is covered by such a thick layer of pollution that it's dark as night regardless of the time, but without something like stars to beautify it. It doesn't really start to clear up until METEOR hits, and even then, images from two years later in Advent Children are still shrouded in a very smokey sort of daytime.

That being said, these renders are gorgeous. And a wallpaper site is stealing them.

Killerx20 · « **Reply #194 on:** 2012-05-08 01:55:08 »

Yes I still have to perfect the "night" scene, still not very good with 3ds max. Better with GTKRadiant hah. The AC Midgar was HUGE compared to the original and it has so many changes. Same with CC and DoC.

As of right now I made the CC Mako Reactor and I'm doing test renders of it, looks a lot better then my current and defiantly lower on the polys but I do have an issue with the exhaust vent on top.

And I knew about that wallpaper site, doesn't do me any harm really though and I wouldn't expect many people to be using that site anyway based on how it looks haha.

Why are there stars in the intro video showing clearly... just asking...

Isn't Midgar an underground city?

its actually a city built on top of (above) a collection of towns that have been subdivided into sectors
the original town names have long since been forgotten

Hellbringer616 · « **Reply #197 on:** 2012-05-08 14:03:48 »

Correct Zendar, and it's always dark like the above was stated, it's covered in pollution (queue Capetian Planet intro)

Actually, I have some theory that Midgar is actually underground, the slums I mean. Ok, have a look at the reactors base

You cant really see the actual base of the reactor even on ground level in these, maybe just a little but not nearly as big as it should be shown in this

And to support my theory even more the scene in AC on the highway chase when they fall off into the slums they slide down a dirt cliff shown here

And here you even see the reactor in the background

archerxtreme · « **Reply #199 on:** 2012-05-18 13:08:20 »

Now that you mentioned, it is true.
Only little reference to go on though. But i suppose one can fill up the "holes" eventually....
