I made a CGI MEGA CITY, any good ?

Amazing stuff. Well done, I love it.

This is what the first Dredd film should have looked like. Although ideally it would have had different actors, a different plot and different dialogue too. And a different director.

But I digress.  At the risk of being given an inch and expecting a mile, do you have an animated version of it, Dan?

I love it anyway, and I'm looking forward to seeing more  They remind me of that Brendan McCarthy colour Dredd in one of the annuals - can't remember the name but there were hot girls in it and someone called Chivon.

The new Lawmaster and slimline H-Wagon are lovely too.

Tbh I find the overuse of 90s cultural signifiers very jarring and breaks any notion that it's a real futurescape rather than one drawn by someone who really likes Rik Mayall. One or two Easter eggs is fine, an image of non-stop late c-20th references isn't.

On the other side the bike and Clara Pandy look turbo.

It took 24 to 48 hours to render a frame with atmospherics, which is why the levels in some of em are very dark, I had to guess the best settings and come back a day later, so sorry no animated version but I was planning on it when I get better hardware, I don't have access to a render farm either.

Thanks, I had always assumed the naming convention for blocks in MC1 was after dead 20th century entertainers, if this is wrong then I can certainly change it, I made all this shortly after what for me was a awful period when it seemed that all my favorite entertainers were dying en-mass, I couldn't keep up at times.

It works for me.  There's a long tradition of MC1 citiblocks being named after obscure pop culture flash-in-the-pan celebrities, which is very much part of the comedy side of Dredd's world.

I remember Des O Connor and I'm sure I've seen a Buster Keaton, I just looked up Rowdy Yates and realized its a fictional character played by Clint Eastwood (the Uber Dredd)

I would put a little more consideration into the colour palette - those stark, oversaturated yellow, blue and red tones seem to dominate the cityscape and are very artificial/unconvincing to the eye, and combined with the use of the comic sans font on one of the buildings the scenes unintentionally evoke the feeling of a late 90s web domain.

I also think the compositions are a bit busy - it's hard to discern where one building ends and another begins. I think more tonal variation on the buildings and a more complex lighting setup would help.

Honestly, I'm bamboozled, it seems like just a very silly Dale Wintonesque double entendre. I accept I may be missing it, but I don't see anything inherently homophobic. Be grateful if you could explain your thinking.
