Looks great!

Some critiques: You forgot to put any billboards in. :P Some of the vehicles are driving on the wrong side of the road. :P :wink: There are no stop signs.
:P


Serious notes: Spacecraft is awesome; nice touch with the shadows of the greenhouses. The buildings colour looked better to me in first image; for that matter, there should be some colour, ala the vehicles. And one more idea for you, being from a farming community, I noticed the tractor in the field; change the field colour where the tractor has already been from where it is yet to go, i.e. tilled field versus untilled, cultivated crops versus uncultivated crops. Would be a nice touch.

:D Thanks, Yep you picked up on the only thing I was planning. Road markings, signs and more traffic.
Im in Aus and we do drive on the left/wrong side of the road down here.
Though there does seam to be some very confused drivers in the pict. Like the fitness fanatic racing along wrong/right side on his mountain bike. :P

Sandlapper the color of the buildings has not actually changed, must be the light :)

Of cause, everything it upside down there. :-)

Nice work, looks like in autumn.

Beautiful. Just one comment: I think the shadows are too dark, and the highlights too bright; in other words, the contrast very high. Could you maybe increase the ambient light, and dim the light coming from the left side?

@The Silent One - When I get to put the extra vehicules in ill play around with ambience in the render and see what happens, :)

That is now absolutely amazing. Wow. It looks so professional.

Hell, you could play the entire game against that as a backdrop. It's spectacular.

Nice! :D

Erm... I've always thought a colony to be bigger than that. This is more like... just a building. Note that even current oil refineries, military bases, and some manufacturing plants are larger than the settlement in this picture...

Not specifically for FreeOrion
