Well, I decided it would look better at night, so I did the first of these 2
pictures. Then I turned the lights off, put in a sunny sky, and rendered the
second image. There's also a few texture tweaks (though not as many as it looks
like, it's just the sky and lighting that makes it look so good!).

I'm currently rendering a big (640x480) of the daytime one, with photons. Will
post as a reply to this when it's finished.

Comments?

Wow, that glass version is really cool! I wonder how it would look if only
some of those windows were lit from the inside....

This is a simple and fantastic way to make cityscape.  If you throw a
few oddball things in here and there, like a fountain or a park, nobody
would question it.  Beautiful work.
    Now, out of curiosity, how hard would it be to encode a "mezzanine"
macro in this, making the lowest level of each building a workable first
floor?  I'll bet simpler than it sounds.

Cheers!

Wow! If the roads were a *tiny* bit better, you could easily take it for a
photo!

Hmm... Well it's hit the slow bit of the big image... It's taken over 2 hours to
draw the last 2 lines!! My poor little PIII 550 ain't up to it!

I think you may have to wait 'til tomorrow, when I can finish it off on my 2GHz
machine at work.

Not too hard to do the texturing for that. All I need is to make the first story
of the texture be a special case... hmm, I might try that :)

I've also been thinking about writing some basic AI to position traffic on the
roads!
