More futuristic cityscapes, but am really enjoying doing them at the moment. Stonemason's Greeble Pack used extensively again, plus Dysopia Buildings, and a few of my own. The sky is a mix of six or so different photographs and a lot of painting.
As usual, a larger view is recommended. Thanks for looking and any comments...Cheers, Ian

I love those type of scenes. Very well done here! Allow me a question: When creating those large scenes do you create all the far away background city blocks in Cinema 4D too or do you use Photoshop for copying or filling out those large areas. I just ask because those scenes can be very RAM intensive and often not so easy to handle. So do you create many C4D files and composite them in Photoshop or is this one single C4D file with ALL models included? Thanks in advance for any kind of tip 
Phew, let me think, it's been a while since I did any of these. Actually, as I remember it the polygon count wasn't too high on this one. I did make seperate passes for Diffuse, Ambient Occlusion, Key Light and I think a Top Light pass as well, and composited all those in Photoshop, together with a fog pass to give it some depth. The foreground buldings I think were a seperate render. The sky, clouds and smoke and such were painted in PS. There's some great tutorials on the web, and in Ballistic Publishings two Matte Painting books, expensive but well worth the money if your serious.
Ironically I have a much more powerful 64 bit machine now which could handle a lot more than what's in this scene. Maybe I'll get back on the matte painting wagon again and see what I can come up with.
