Chinampas 3D

Chinampas 3D
I modeled the ancient agriculture canal system of prehispanic Mexico "Tenochtitlan", called the "chinampas" and put them in perspective with the cosmos and the surrounding moutains and volcanoes. At the very end of the perspective you can see the legendary volcanoes Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl.

Edible plants on the chinampas here showing are corn, nopal, maguey and pepper.
The horizon is 3D too, made from actual precise topography.

All done on Blender + texture preparation on Gimp.
