Modeled and rendered in MicroStation V8, background done with Terragen - panoramized and city added with Paint Shop. I decided on a unique, but fitting name for my creation... Vertix City. This, of course, is a progress shot, showing off the bay and distant metropolis. I have been working on city planning issues for well... the entire city since I made it a bayside attraction. Having a large body of water as a neighbor tends to change everything. Sort of like Manhattan was, I ended up having to put the tallest towers in a place all their own instead of my first instinct - at the center of the city. facades may look dark, because the sun is shining high and opposite the camera, but I though this picture still had some pretty good quality to it nonetheless. It's funny that I intended to just have one spiral, tallest tower as the city's greatest gem, but it ended up needing a twin. as I have been working on these issues, in the news the freedom tower design has come under attack by many, who are calling for the replacement of the twin towers. I have to wholeheartedly agree with them - if something is built in their place, it should be replacements that are even greater.
