Ive added a few more units, and played around with the composition a bit more. The idea of horizontal cantilevered sky scrapers seems to be working a lot better now. Planning on compositing some backdrops from VUE into the final post work yet to be started in photoshop.

you can see how many VPs we tried in this one. It was pretty hard to accomplish the epic scale in one single shot. Over 1mill polygons in this scene!

Hello James,
EPIC!
I was so amazed by seeing your concept! love the 3 shots on your first post. and IMO the third one could be easier to finish.
The whole idea needs hell of a lot of work, i am very keen to see how would you wrap it up.
Normally The best shot is a dusk shot, but in your case I loved the desaturated ones the most.
pat attention to the scale of the clouds you dont want it to take away the epic feel of the structute.

I hope you do not change the aspect ratio of the images and keep them as they are (3.3)

I would love to see those first 3 shots in high resolution,
In my opinion you would have to stop the 3d and do 2d paint over, though i am not sure if it is allowed in the competition.
Keep it up!
