Perhaps carving the sphere using a difference with the height-field?
P.S. Such a city at the evening (when people back home) is full of the
[procedural] smokes of the fires lit for the supper...

I am afraid that is only too true. I have escaped detection until now...

Oh God! You are giving me a new itch!
For the smoke you have to wait a bit, but for the sunset...
Sun colour and position controlled by the Lightsys IV system of course.
You will note that the horizon mist is not correct at all. Either I
should tweak the fog colour, or replace it by a true media ;-)

My next wallpaper!
There is a magnificent light. I can imagine in a similar way the sunset
in Santorini.

This project is really bearing some impressive fruit now. I love this aerial
view - good sediment effect in the river. The building arrangement is very
effective, and totally transforms the resulting images. Once you get to a
certain level of detail, there will be much mileage in finding interesting
camera angles and lighting setups!
I liked the street view you posted recently too - a totally believable solution,
it looked very natural.
I agree with other posts about smoke and focal blur. You could try placing
people procedurally too, market crowds and dock workers... also, I think some
flocks of seagulls or crows could really add some atmosphere for relatively
little effort.
You are inspiring me to get back to my city shenanigans from last year!
keep up the good work
Bill

Absolutely. I am wandering around already. One thing I shall work on is
narrowing some of the streets.

Yes, everything works pretty well up till now. Maybe not in all close up
views but we shall see about that when it happens.

Yes, the birds, people, smoke, focal blur (in that order probably) are
elements I have on my to do list. For the people I may consider
billboards (although I shall have to make them first) especially for
overviews.

Thanks indeed Bill. I think you made an interesting start there with
lots of possibilities. Sometimes solutions come from unexpected corners,
like in my macro: I was developing a new technique to plant trees using
random locations inside an object as delimiter, when it occurred to me
that I could use the same approach for placing houses. Then, with
Paolo's hint, I got to work seriously... :-)

I shall.

Thanks, Thomas! I'll do a bit of searching, and see what I can find.
BTW, I also like your mountains; the steaks of granite running through them are
a nice touch. (When I initially saw your first image post in this thread, I
thought you had used a photo of real mountains!)
As others have said, this scene--and your city in general--are very inspiring.
Really nice work.

One thing that stands out in my mind is the fact that all of the buildings are exactly
the same color, as if they were
all built at the same time. I think it would look more realistic if each one was a
different color (at least compared to
its neighbor), even if it was just a slight variation of gray/brown. Of course, down
the road (time-wise) you would want
to add balconies and colored window awnings.
