Hey guys and gals...
This is a personal project i've been working on recently. For those who have been to or live in Tokyo, this is one of the stations on the Oedo subway line.

C&Cs welcome.

Bloody good photograph. Now how on earth did you manage to take it without people everywhere????

Excellent work! I've visited Tokyo twice and this looks nigh on perfect to what I remember the underground looking like. The chrome on the back of the seats looks exactly right, the lighting looks right. I can't really fault it apart from the fact that I've never seen a train being out of service as the indicator board suggests.
I almost wish there could be a train there as well as I have fond memories of the little sign on the doors with the kitten getting its tail trapped in the doors. I'm easy to amuse.

Any chance of seeing a wireframe?

Thanks for the comments!

Mark: The Oedo subway line is probably one of the least crowded metro lines in Tokyo.

Fallenswordsman: Kittens huh? One time I saw an old lady get trapped in a closing door. That was pretty gruesome. :/

Wires...

Akira, do you have any more work to show? Web page or so?

Zeeman · 02-10-2004, 09:59 PM

Dude, u have MAD photrealistic skills!!!! did u make all the textures from scratch or did u have photos and stuff like that?? Amazing work:tup:

L.A. Akira · 03-10-2004, 12:06 AM

Hey guys, thanks for the replies!

Claudio: my url is www.laakira.com but I dont have anything up there just yet. Try it in a week or so.

Zeeman: Thanks but i'm still working on it. The textures are more or less made from scratch. All except for the dirt which came from photos I took around the neighborhood.

That looks amazing! I hope to have the skill to someday achieve photorealism like this. I've set your render as my desktop photo to remind me of this goal.

H.I.O.M · 04-10-2004, 10:45 AM

You should submit this one to the gallery.

Claudio · 04-10-2004, 11:22 AM

Agree
