Aldebaran - Paris

UPDATE 2:

Finally got my partner to send me the other building for the cityscape.
Added curtains to some windows.
Enhanced the water.
Added tv aerials.
Adjusted some textures and levels.

I will still have to change the cars around. I haven't heard back from the guy on DA to see if I have permission to use them, so I've found another source. There's also a little animation tweaking I'd like to do.
----------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

Done quite a few things in post production now.

Added in the cars and water (which are now animated).
Adjusted the size of the Eiffel Tower. Turns out it wasn't much bigger than I originally had it. This shot is taken from the Pont Des Invalides (a bridge), so it's a fair distance away.

Couple of small tweaks to levels and contrast and stuff. Need waiting on my partner to send me the additional building to add a little more variation in there. Will post another when I get that in.

Critique still very welcome.

The shot of Paris for the 'Aldebaran' uni project.

This is going to be the shot you can see from the 'Balcony' [link] window.

I'm still getting my partner to make another type of building, so there wont be quite as much repetition in the final image.

The final sequence will have moving water, as well as some cars driving in the background.

The destroyed version of Paris is currently under way and will hopefully be finished shortly.

...this year long project is starting to come to it's conclusion...
