This is one of several scenes I created along with a website for a client recently.
It is an ongoing project and I will be adding more scenes in the future.

This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

The only thing that I could crit would be the DOF and the amount of it kinda makes it look like a miniture town model if you get what I mean.

I was trying out Ozone 4 beta, so the clouds were simulated in the scene and therefore hard to get to do what I wanted, plus there are a few bugs in the beta which were slightly annoying. I prob won't use it further and may actually make a new sky in Terragen and replace it later on when I come back to the project to do part 2 later in the year.
I wasn't overly sure about the foreground tree myself, in terms of the blur on it but I needed to cover a section of the image as there wasn't time to put more detail in there.
It's not an officially launched site yet and this image may change in the future when the rest is developed so I may get the chancet to fix it up how I would like it to be but it's up to the client's choices at the end of the day.
Anyway, now I'm on to animating a dancing packet of crisps...

I'll pay you a hand full of girly giggles to sort the tree. Is it the usual image on plane job, it looks like it.

Jay: I'm not a big fan either but if a client pays me to do it, then I do it. The clean look in many of them is purely down to time contraints as usually trees, people and street level detail take the longest to get right so usually get tacked on as clients prob ask for the building and then go 'can we have some tree and peolpe' at the end to which your inner dude would say f*** off, but not a professional response so a simple solution to keep everyone happy is 2D fudge.
The tree were just wacked in with Photoshop in post. Wanted to get back to the main city shot as the street level wouldn't be seen in it anyway.

When I try to look thru a perspective camera that I've created, I get the following error:
