Everything's done with terrains or primitives except from the foreground grass. Imported DEM's of the bay area and did some scaling and positioning. Used a satellite pic of the city and some photoshop filters to create the city terrain. Using the satellite image didn't give actual buildings, but it did create more towers where the density was supposed to be highest. Cheated and added a flattened pyramid for the Transamerica tower. The Golden Gate bridge supports and cables are terrain objects. There's a lot more detail that could be added, but for now just wanted something in the right place in the imported DEMs. The Oakland bay bridge is there in the mist in the background too.
