Martian Cities

MaisseArsouye · May 10, 2006, 12:37 AM

Here's a set of martian cities based on Kim Stanley Robinson's books : Red Mars, Green Mars and Blue Mars. Each era fits a technology described in the novel.

1) cities are little, mainly underground because of radiations
2) anti-radiations solution allows people to colonize mesas
3) people can build domes with aerogel
4) terraformation is quite complete, people can build outside domes

Excellent work

Utterly brilliant. Very impressed! The lighting work is the highlight for me. (that crappy pun wasn't intentional, BTW!)

Super city set. Simply awesome.

Stormrage · May 10, 2006, 04:32 AM

Great work! Super sweet awesome amazing incredible etc.

The last two eras could use more difference between the difference sizes, methinks. Quite good otherwise.

I like these latest cities of yours - very imaginative, and beautifully rendered too. Excellent work!

Rambuchan · May 10, 2006, 08:53 AM

Yeah Maisse's on a kooky city roll!

Actually, I changed my way to design cities. I used to make it with PSP8, directly in 2D. Now, I use Blender. I design buildings, combine them to make cities, take shots, convert them to PCX and share it with you. It allows me to make much more difficult structures.

Snorken · May 10, 2006, 09:39 AM

Quite nice.

Well, it's a far superior method. I think these cities are leagues ahead of your earlier ones. I must confess I wasn't so keen on your earlier ones, but I think these are among the best out there. I hope we'll see many more!

There is no Maisse Soze!

ery nice mr Maisse; you are creating a genre of your own with these very impressive cities

Perhaps you should make a thread about how you create them; i have blender too so i could use it

Samez · May 23, 2006, 08:10 AM

Did ever someone test it with the mars terrain out there? (course if the colour of the ground...) If yes I would like to see a screenie

btw good work!

NBD. Low priority, afaik. Just poking around & thought these might be useful a lot further down the road. IIRC several of his sets are missing.

Ozymandias · Jun 28, 2012, 05:00 PM

Okay, here're the "Martian" city sets I have. If anyone could lend a hand to a humble & crazed Archivist and let me know which need reposting in the db -- that'd be grand.

"mars ma" files were made just a few days before the op. THe variatians match his descriptians in the op. So "mars ma" is probably the best candidate to be MA's.
