Lower Manhattan WIP

Armed with Google Earth and Google's 3D warehouse I was able to assemble a model of lower Manhattan and upper Brooklyn relatively quickly.  Here is a work in progress.  A few key buildings missing as well as the tons of extra cars and people I need to find a way to animate, but it looks pretty good from this angle.  I wanted to avoid creating a cityscape altogether but in the end I gave in, compelled to do so by the cinematic doors it would open.  Oh yes, I am going to milk this for all its worth :)

I am creating a full CG environment of lower Manhattan complete with Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn as well.  Google Earth came in real handy for this.  Pics in a week or two.
