Anyone ever done Atlantis ?

I was wondering if anyone has ever done the city of Atlantis from Stargate ? I am listening to season 5, and the model is quite fabulous. It even seems like each buildings are differents and that the model is complex.

 

Here's the real meshe

It's a...something.

 

Here's one someone is making. Cool to see it progress throughout the thread. Some nice renders near the end of the thread.

WOW! And he is making this with C4D!!! He doesn't have the same render engine tho, some kind of plugin...I gonna check this out. Seems he can render lighting and textures much much better then I could.

 

Some people prefer Vray to C4Ds native AR (Advanced Render) module. There isn't anything more or better, IMHO, that it can do. Might be faster with some settings, slower with others, from what I've found. I don't have mad rendering skilz though.

 

I tried the demo of Vray, and I got a bunch of errors...so. I will stick with the default render.

 

There are a bunch of people who did Atlantis meshes - one person (forget who) took a mesh, flipped it, put it in a space scene and made it a Battlestar drydock as a part of Picon Fleetyards or some such... Looked REALLY good, like it belonged there.
