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 : Ships are from 3D Cafe, 3D Heaven, and De Espona 500 3D Objects 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. Cheers ! :-) Robert

riko, I may be a moron, but if you are so hung up on photography why have you never heard of depth of field? Everything can be in focus, as long as it's not 4 feet away.

OMG! What a magnificent piece or work! Incredible sense of depth and I am in awe at your attention to detail here! I would also to know the render time and other specs of this composition, i.e. #of lights, objects, polys? My only ? due to my living outside a large US city is where the heck is all the litter and trash '-)?!?

Your work is always above and beyond the normal quality here at Renderosity. This image is yet another example of the height of rendering Vue can be taken to when used by a master artist! I look forward to the continuation (and am glad it's fiction too). :-)

I really enjoy this one. Fantastic compostion, POV, atmosphere & ligthing. As for "riko": This is not photorealism, but science fiction. One of the great things about CG is that you can do something the camera can't. V
