Hi folks

Ok. I've got 2 levels of my son's racing game finished. I took the summer off to build a treehouse.

The background is pretty lousy. Its basically a box with the top textured as the sky, the bottom textured as grass and the sides textured as wood.

I want to add a better background. Trees, buildings, grandstands etc. But I have no idea how to begin.

I tried creating grandstands with MED, but then I realized the game won't be interacting with the background. Scenery will just be there to make the scene more realistic.

What are the ways to quickly manufacture a non interactive background for a game?

He wants one level to be the streets of New York City and I'd rather not model every building, sewer grate and trash can.
