IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

Dead City Colony 77 have being established in march 3677 on ET016 Earth type
planet which was discovered 
42 years earlier. Colony was located near ruins of a city erected by ET016
indigenous 
civilisation, extinct since over 2000 years

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

I started by modelling dead city ruins using terrain function, then I set up
lighting - one sunlight + 11 additional distant lights to simulate ambient
lighting from sky. Human collony was modelled in Cinema 4D, then imported &
textured in Vue d'Esprit. The same for rest of small industrial stuff, trees,
railway etc... I used also some third party ship models and a few buildings
used for background (detailed description of models used can be found in my
gallery at Renderosity :

Final render was made in very high res 3200 x 2400, then size was reduced in
phoptopaint, as well as little contrast & gamma correction was added.

Scene contains :
719 objects
22 lights
2 030 613 polys

It took about a month (evenings & weekends) to construct & set this scene - hope
you'll like it :-)))
