Description
"No one was watching..." ...their landing. Their first scout ships arrived at dawn, but only a handful of humans was still alive. Not on Earth, but far away, on the invaders mother ship - behind Moon's orbit. Lucky were those few taken 8 months ago. They were kept as specimens of a race that had to be slaughtered.
Invaders did not want to destroy Earth, its biosphere was just what they needed, it was the purpose of their long journey. They have only to get rid of potential thread posed by humans. Although primitives, but still dangerous. Invaders were preoccupied by thread posed by nuclear missiles. They have not been prepared to wage an open war with a technical civilization, and a single low yield nuclear warhead could easily destroy any of their ship.
They left their home planet over 20000 years ago, they knew their destination thanks to robots which provided them with very detailed information about Earth. However by a strange coincidence, no robot succeed to identify stone age humans as a specie that could quickly develop to technical civilization, which now posed a thread that have to be dismissed.
Just six month earlier, they started sending on Earth drones that spread deadly virus all over continents. Of course, drone ships were well protected against Earth's tracking radar systems. However, few malfunctioning drones crashed and remains of one have been discovered on hills surrounding Zaisan Lake. They have been even correctly identified, so humanity could learn the cause of mysterious disease that has been proliferating since a few weeks at alarming rate.
Fortunately, it is only fiction - I hope I did not scare you too much :)
The story will continue.... (if you like it)

Credits go also to cermit who provide me with some valuable suggestions.
Harbor structures, Scout Ships, Aliens and whole city infrastructure (roads, trees, signs etc) are mine.
Sky is volumetric atmosphere with one cloud layer of my design.
I use many additional lights to simulate global lighting.

Wonderfull...

Every where I look there is an incredible amount of detail! The atmospheric haze and lighting are superb and really "sell" this as being a real city. Even though many of the models you used are available to the general public, there aren't many people who could surround them with a convincing "infrastructure" and environment. Way past excellent my friend!

CRUNCH Did you hear my jaw hitting the keyboard?!? I'm speechless... This is one of the best Vue images I've ever seen before - it's a dream!!! How long did it take to render this one?
riko
Ok, verry nice in all, but if your docked spaceship is in front of the camera you need some heavy distant blur for the rest. For the rest nothing to do with your hard work but: I whish the absolute morrons of this community tried to look before they are comenting. Everything is in their limited view(s) rated "excelent" even if it isn't! Ranked: needs work.
