For the main city building I created several custom buildings in 3ds max using basic primitives and poly modelling techniques.
step 1 of 13
step 2 of 13
This is a squashed chamfer cylinder with edges extruded.
step 3 of 13
This is a Gengon primitive with edges extruded, the aerials are shapes created from the top edges of the building with the shape settings set to linear.
step 4 of 13
This is a pyramid primitive again with edge extrusions, and chamfers.
step 5 of 13
This is the main building. It is made up of a box, a hose, and several torus primitives. The torus primitives have had the number of edges reduced to 5 to produce a pentagon.
step 6 of 13
The small buildings in the city are a cylinder with 6 cap segments, then a greeble modifier applied to extrude the polygons randomly.
step 7 of 13
The space ship is made up from 2 boxes and 4 cylinders.
step 8 of 13
This is the top view of the city in Vue 7. The back terrain is the mountains, then the cities. then a water plane added.
step 9 of 13
This is the sky/atmosphere I used. it's called "fire godrays" I think it adds some nice atmosphere to the image.
step 10 of 13
This is the material used in vue for the mountain range.
step 11 of 13
This is the material used for the buildings and the bridges in vue.
step 12 of 13
I used this tropical water for the water in vue.
step 13 of 13
This is the adjustments made in photoshop. first I copied the original image then adjusted the hue of the image and set the layer to "Multiply" this darkened the image slightly. Then I copied the image again and put it to the top layer. I set the layer blend mode to "Overlay" then added some blur. I used a layer mask to mask out the foreground so it was not blurry.
Final result
