Sci fi Funk is an animated sci fi adventure set in London 2064ad. How would you cope unexpectedly waking up in the future? Follow the series and find out.

In episode 7 we get to fly over an abandoned Greater London. In fact the East end of London has been evacuated in order to house the level 3 workers in "the New City".

Those fortunate enough to have "normal" jobs are included. The rest scratch a living on the outskirts of the city.

The flythrough has taken a couple of years of my life. Not so much the rendering or even the animating, but the modeling and planning.

To make such a scene happen in Carrara a lot of repetitive, and hard work is required. To generate the city I used the now defunct Indie version of "City Engine", however this is just the start.

Issues occur with  import into Carrara. The only method that worked for me was via 3ds. This leads to a LOT of work in order to have a working scene file with this large a scene. (It covers almost the entire east end from Dagenham to Gants Hill).
