It's Mental Ray with Final Gather and Global ilumintaion. I was thinking of something like Colorado springs, Colorado. Is that were Norad is? Cause I have an idea for the next episode. And when I have the chance I will upload some of my drawings and concept sketches of the town user added image

to be as real as possible you may want to think of adding some irregularities - curves, dents, sags, cracks etc. to show how gravity and time have effected your world - good start user added image

Hey dev, just wanted to say great job so far! I really like this. Just theres one thing. Size ratio i think is off. The bench in one of those images is almost as tall as the doorway.. could you scale it down a bit? And the stairs inside the hotel, the same thing. I really like this though, cant wait to see this animation user added image

All you have to do is pay attention to relative sizes i.e the size of the bench compared to the doorway etc etc. If u need references, a good idea would be to go out and snap some photo's of, for example, a bench within its contextual background - just so u can grasp an idea of its size in comparison to its surroundings. U cant go wrong then.

It'll be very interesting to see how this develops. Keep it up!! user added image
