Detailed rough render of a futuristic city with organic shaped buildings, trees, a flock of birds, and floating energy ribbons circling the city with drones and other traffic attached to the ribbons. Here's what I wrote in 2019: Something I was working on a few months ago but never finished. I had this idea for a city that has these sort of energy ribbons that go around the city like highways. Drones for shipping and taxis and everything else attach themselves to that ribbon and are taken around the city. They can attach and detach. Those drones require very little energy because those energy ribbons that're the highways power the flight. They just latch onto it and get carried around in the current. You can see them circling the city in magenta and blue-green. Anyway, this is sort of a snapshot of a work in progress that I never finished. Still loads to do but not sure I will ever finish it. I'll probably render out a camera fly through though to see what the city looks like with a camera flying through it. Learned a bunch about Modo and City Gen and Zbrush while doing this. And that was the point. Maybe I'll finish it one day, but maybe not. Wanna get onto some other stuff.
