In episode 7 we get to fly over an abandoned Greater London. In fact the East end of London has been evacuated in order to house the level 3 workers in "the New City".

Those fortunate enough to have "normal" jobs are included. The rest scratch a living on the outskirts of the city.

The flythrough has taken a couple of years of my life. Not so much the rendering or even the animating, but the modeling and planning.

To make such a scene happen in Carrara a lot of repetitive, and hard work is required. To generate the city I used the now defunct Indie version of "City Engine", however this is just the start.

Issues occur with import into Carrara. The only method that worked for me was via 3ds. This leads to a LOT of work in order to have a working scene file with this large a scene. (It covers almost the entire east end from Dagenham to Gants Hill).

    Sorry to hear that.

    Lighting was a struggle given that the only real light is the cab and moonlight (street lights are off in the abandoned area), plus I had to reduce the models to 1% just to fit them in the scene (or navigation around the scene becomes impossible).

    Next time I have more light to play with! (Entrance to the new city)/
