Show us your urban set design/Scenes/Tips/Tricks/Favorite Models or whatever you got thats urban.  This is (IMO) the hardest environment to render for its complexity. Heres what I got so far....feel free to comment and please post your own urban attempts....

THis might be my favorite from Monsters of the Atomic Age.  Steve-O's was the defining set and I think I did it right by design or by luck.  The background is the reallusion backdrop from backstage (suburban set of soime kind I think), the warehouse is a popular 3d warehouse item and steve-os is my own design.  It actually took a while with the interior being two angled planes and the eventual inclusion of the hydrant and the speed sign and such.  I likey this model.

Heres a model of what used to be my favorite watering hole in brooklyn.  Solid but for that O'connors is attached on both sides by other buildings (eh Brooklyn and such).  Still a good model for a fine scene I says.

Background city looks nice, background moon looks nice. Mission accomplished.

 

And finally heres a traffic jam Ive been working on lately. Work to be done.

So what you got?
