Not really, but many of the reference pics I found on the net were
from the German autobahn, and being an old Kraftwerk fan, the title for
the scene was clear.

Yes, and not only in Germany. I'm still using the first material_map I
painted to test the technique. I'm planing to create a better version
with another POV scene instead painting it: I'm really bad hand painting
the little details...

That object was also a quick placeholder... but thanks for pointing
that it looks too fake.

Yes, I think I exaggerated the size perhaps a bit... :)

Thanks!

These are good suggestions, and actually, I didn't even think on many
of them... I like specially the birds idea: it should not be that hard
to create some silhouettes with Wings3D.

Yes, Darren and others also pointed it out... but I forgot to tell
this was only a WIP.

I recommend using "Autobahn" by Kraftwerk as background music for
this scene, of course.

That's very interesting, and should have an use also for other

Well, there is a barely modeled tunnel crossing a simple dome-like
hill. Just to give the impression that there is something...

Hey Jaime!
Don't you know what happens to the guys who post photographs here?
They are poured molten tar on them, covered whith feathers, tied on a
rail.....
Now I stop kidding. Thats fantastic!!
The only critics I can do have yet be done: sharp shadows, blue signs too
clean.
And tree trunks slightly too gnarled (end trees too tall and close to the
road)
But WOW I can smell more or less well burned gaz , heated oil and tyres (I
think I'll go too the seaside to clean up my lungs lol)
Regards
Marc

breathtaking.
From my wacky perspective, somehow this would be even cooler if you were to
add to it something that ain't photorealistic or overly stylized in
construction. That would make it extra cool. If you were to say put this
image as-is on a subway billboard advertisement, who'd care-- it's just a
photograph.

It is an amazing image. I also thought it was cars pasted into a picture!

The pavement is very good looking. I'm not sure about the autobahn, but
normally worn asphault has a pattern of cracks that I haven't found a good
way to simulate. Concrete has bigger 'holes' that at highway speeds don't
make a thump as much as you think considering how deep they can be.
I also thought the way the lane wear was done was excellent.

Yes, you know me! I used the same trick but a bit specialized for the
material_map which uses it. The base is a concrete photo from
imageafter.com, with a bit of turbulence on y, and a gradient x on top
for the dirty on the center of the lanes (not very well aligned, indeed).
