Space Colony Town - WIP

The houses are only a place holder to use as a guide and scale for the real buildings I'm going to add later.

THIS is incredible!

Wait a GREAT direction for ZBrush. I like characters, monsters, etc and all but they can get redundant at times. THIS! This is original thinking. THIS is cutting edge, one of a kind work. WOW!

What a great direction. :D :tu:

I LOVE this idea!!! :cool: :cool:

[Stonecutter]

Fantastic beginning, W/O, and I agree with Kathy...This is a great new direction. The more different approaches, topics, styles, influences, manias the better! :tu: :cool:
Push that envelope!!

Very cool :tu:

Makes me think of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Hi Winged One,

The moment I saw this I was reminded of the L5 Society (http://www.azstarnet.com/public/nonprofit/tucl5/l5def.htm) which was an idea popular in the early 80s. This is a fantastic use of perspective and my only comment would be about the shadows. If you keep working with this, I'm sure that's something you will fix though. :cool:

[jibberish]

another super :cool: concept © WingedOne!!! :tu: :tu: :tu: i wonder how they can avoid their BBQ-smoke to pester their neighbours :D one request: as i was too stupid to find out about how to achieve a view into a tube myself - could you please tell? ;)

TIA!

the room keeps spinning and spinning.... im on my way back to kansas to see auntie m... lol i love the 3d effect thanks for showing it winged one

[WingedOne]

Sure Juandel (I thought it was Jibberish that asked this question originally, oops). When I selected the cylinder tool, I pressed the persective button in the draw pallette while holding down shift at the same time. What this does is allow objects to be drawn with a sense of perspective with a common vanishing point. I then clicked in the perspective distort and dragged the cursor onto the top right hand corner of the screen where I wanted the new vanishing point to be. (The default vanishing point is in the center of the canvas).

I remember the L5 society as well. They portrayed a colony something like this in William Gibson's "Neuromancer" as well. I still hope something like this will be built in real life someday.

Thanks for the comments from the rest of you. :)

W.O., this looks totally cool so far, can't wait to see an update! :cool:

[robotalk]

Very Nice !!!!!

[cneofotistos]

yep! way cool Arthur-Clark-ean way of making a space colony.

[DeeVee]

Nice work. It is always good to see artists moving out into uncharted waters, for a while I thought only monsters were allowed on this forum, and that if you could not model you were looked down on. I am happy to see that this is not the case. :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu:

[juandel]

thank you for the tip, WingedOne! i still have a few problems here, though: i could not manage to get the cylinder as long as the one you did - it seems to reach the clipping plane way too fast. z-displacing the layer into front wont help, as well as stretching the cylinder via the scale-gyro. i tried to use other values than 50 in the distort-slider but this as well as using the gyro results in very strange (though interesting :D) abstracts. is there anything additional i have to take care of? if not, i will record a script of my experiments and post it as another thread and ask for additional help there, as i do not want to spoil this beautiful one with more technical blahblah! :)

Cool idea/image Winged. A mini-Rama. Very original idea, and it'll be neat to see where it goes. :)

This certainly is an exciting image,and proves the scope of Zbrush with the right imagination.

As a new user I'm glad to see some structural work here.
This looks terrific already and will hopefully catch it again as you add to it!

Inspiring to me WingedOne!
