| Inspired by views
of Google's Streetview, I decided to do a metro scene of a New
York-style street. The background buildings are from previous projects. The nearest buildings are new - the metro mall is based on NYC's Matthattan Mall. The trees are from here. I modified the texture list in the mesh to add more variety to the leaves (by default they are all identical image maps). Given that it's autumn in my neck of the woods, I collected many different leaves, scanned them in and added them to the model. |

| I've developed is a new
technique for adding crowds which
takes up MUCH less memory than using 3d models. |

Originally, I was focusing on a sidewalk cafe/pizzaria. As is often the
case, the camera's perspective changed over the course of the project. |

| I played with the idea of a
crowd filling up the intersection. I opted to do the POV-Ray logo. |
