Okay, I'll give it a try if I can.

Last contest I tried entering was the game character contest 4+ years ago. I've been planning on finishing them up "real soon now" :attn:

I'd prefer you keep 'em here, but you can post at both if you'd like.

LOL, I might download the Maya trial version just to partake in this challenge as I love modeling scenes like this. Great challenge Idea.

Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!

yes you need your own thread, a brand new project in which you show all your progress, just posting an image of a finished scene how do we know you didn't take it from somewhere? not saying that you did, but you need to show your work in your thread.

hey man, welcome to simplymaya!

What you should do is start a thread called something like "Henhrig666 - Virtual Cityscape - (then whatever your cityscape is)" and repost your render.
Hope you enjoy the comp!

...i should really get started myself but i've been so busy trying to get a job in 3D i've not had any free time. user added image
