Yo!

nearly done, just waiting for the space ship. put a sky in, and atmospherics, any suggestions?

Joe - is the smoke on the ground reacting to the planes or is it atmospheric smoke? i think it needs to be slower I think the street needs to start to fade off from the atmospheric smoke. need smoke coming from the buildings, and some buildings behind the initial street buildings. I’ve rendered the space ship ill send it to you tomorrow first thing

just a test, needs colour matching, more sky replacement and better background buildings. having trouble thinking of how it all would look. any suggestions? - Nick

Looking good mate, couple of suggestions:-Try and do a match blur on the elements You have added, drop the contrast a little at the start buildings. I think the gun should be more of a big deal? what you reckon? more prominent/bigger. Otherwise Sweeet!

Another test, still needs work.

any opinions before i go ahead and demolish the skyline?
