Like I said in a previous thread....
There are several versions of atlantis. Rainmaker modeled the first initial city (first season), but now for the second season, Rainmaker doesnt handle all of the CG aspects of the show. There are other studio's which are doing work for the show now, so they modeled their own city. Each one looks different and im pretty sure they are scaled differently, but relatively keeping the same look and feel.

This is what happens when you switch around your CGI guys, and the n00bs have no clue of the previous story's canon.
It went from the 21km long Manhattan sized ships with a central tower being 1.5km tall to something slightly smaller than Anubis' flagship.
BTW... here's some conversions for the metrically challenged.
1 mile = 1.6 km
1 inch = 2.54 cm
1 yard = 0.914 m

Why, oh why couldn't they have used this?Last edited by Cory Holmes; 18 April 2006, 05:22 PM.

For one thing, the polygon count of the city would have been thru the roof, and that would have seriously increased render times (even for a large renderfarm).

.83 of a mile? That can't be a right figure as far as the city size then. When Weir locked down the city in "HOT ZONE" Teyla and Sheppard were over a mile away from the central spire in the gym, which was somewhere in the middle of one of the piers.
Creating worlds I know couldn't possibly exist. One little polygon at a time.

The problem is that apparently the CGI n00bs didn't get the memo from either the previous CGI peeps nor TPTB to have the Ancients as builders of massive stuff. This the Ancients we're talking about, if the size of the city is 0.83 of a mile then the central spire of Atlantis would be SHORTER than the Empire State building which doesn't make sense. Here's an super-advanced civilization, and yet they can't build a structure taller than those built by us not-so-advanced Earthers???
Gimme a break.

I thought that Atlantis was 4-5km wide. It looked that big to me and the Daedalus is probably 200-300m long.Originally posted by Rainbow Sun FrancksLive within the moment. There is only now, ENJOY.
