Description
This have been an ongoing project for the past few days now...almost a week actually. And this afternoon I decided it was ready.
There was a show on History Channel a few days ago called "Life without people", and I didn't see it since I'm not in the US. But I saw a part of the web site.
And I got this idea that I wanted to make a render of a street in the middle of a city, with no human life and no animals at all. As if mankind died over night together with everything except from maybe cockroaches :p They would probably survive us all.
Since then I've been working on this. Collecting models, bought trees and vegetation, and it's been a heckova hassle to get it done.
I had to skip all of the materials I made for this since Vue kept rendering black holes all over the place, so the end result did not come out the way I wanted it to. I wanted more decay on the buildings, but oh well...
This is in any case nature taking back what rightfully belongs to it. Which I think will eventually happen sooner or later.
Credits are below, and except from the bought models, there's also a lot of freebies both from the free section here at Renderosity and a lot of other places.
For those of you who are interested, there's 1,2 billion polygons in this darn render. My laptop have been without virtual memory more than once during this...hehe
The render I posted the last time, The Old Barn, was something I put together in about 20 minutes :p You've been very kind in your comments and I'm glad that you enjoy it :)
Enuf babbling ;) Hope you're having a great weekend :D

PS. Btw...far in the background there's a trace that not even Dr Who managed to save us this time ;) Couldn't make this TOO serious :p

Dr. Who will always save us! Great scene. The weird thing is that I noticed the Tardis first. I think the desolation is evident (almost as if it had just happened, which makes it that much more creepy). I like this very much.
