Description

The scene depicts a city in the near future utilizing hover technology in the road infrastructure. My idea was that the repulsion/power source would be a grid in the roadbed, allowing the vehicle to only deal with control and steering, thus not requiring vast power in each vehicle. No matter what the weather, your trip would be the same- regardless of ice, rain or snow. This image languished on one of my hard drives, unfinished, for about 3 years now. It was originally done to feature my hover bus model, but I moved on to other things after numerous changes and dissatisfaction. I decided to finish it in some fashion and post it. It's done in Bryce 5.5; the hover vehicles, elevated trains, stoplights and streetlights were modeled in Studio Max 6; post in Photoshop. People from Poser 6. Asphalt road material is my own photo texture. The sky is alpha planes mapped with my own cloud photos.

3 years? Reminds me of all the unfinished stuff I have. This one turned out excellently. It was just waiting for the right time to be finished.

I know you have gained much satisfaction creating this scene; and, you've put a lot of work into it. Very, very excellent work. I like your idea of the underground source for the propulsion. Those monorails above are great. I don't understand why we don't have more in this country.

Lots of applications and your skill using them apparently led to the culmination of this render; and it looks awesome! A very detailed and compled scene full of life and movement- and the concept of a hover bus that is very, very cool!

Fabulous idea for future energy and weight controls. Image is well done and also the second hoover model, the blue one (new?) looks interesting.
