As an overview, we make a city. But not a common one which is built on a flat area or a hill - no, this one is built on the side of a dam.




It's a 500m-high retaining wall and the city is some sort of "hanging" on the wall.
We announce the year 2112, a time where peace is everywhere and just little guerilla gangs are disturbing the calmness. They are mostly going by every type of copters, mostly helicopters. The style is a bit Sci-Fi, some sort of a dirty utopia. Something similar to the look we are heading towards, would be the film "Waterworld", "Postman" or "Matrix".
The picture shows the city from something like 200m under the top of the dam, from the left lower corner. It is early morning, everything's blue, orange and a bit bright-pink.
The buildings are connected with bridges, ladders and elevators.

Spoomy modelled the cableway and some platforms and buildings, additionally, he textured them.
Luka modelled turbines and fans, those two big bent buildings at the top of the wall and all the other little buildings and platforms for the city.
My part was the dam itself, the top of the dam, the water wheel, materials, little assecoirs, lighting, rendering and postwork.


The time to render was 1:41 h, the scene has 505.000 polygons.
We modelled with Cinema 4D and Maya, rendering and materials were done just in Cinema.
I made the postwork with Photoshop 6. The waterfall is a mattepainting for the foreground and was done with PS 6 too (based on photos).


















Hope, you like it!
