Created and rendered in Vue 5 Esprit, my Futuristic City shows how detailed texturing really can get. This image didn’t take that long to create, but what really stumped me was the textures + lighting that makes up this scene. Thankfully, Vue 5 has a base texture that I used to start the building textures, then I added a glassy texture and an alien-glow orange to the windows. I wanted it to be daytime (because stars and outer-space worlds can get old), but I really didn’t know what to use for colors. Finally I created this hazy-bluish atmosphere and added a planet to the sky.

   Cool!

   The sliver of a moon looks very real.

   Oh my gosh! You are really good! I have sometimes thought if starting to make animations/etc., but I never got around to it.
