A while back, I created a bunch of textures similar to these to use for buildings and various structures, but I didn't know how to implement them in Blender. Thanks.
The way you created the city is really impressive! Also I liked the way you gave these windows emission, I just happened to be working on a city of some sort, and was having a really hard time deciding how to do that) Very good job!
Thank you so much. I don't know why when people do tutorials like this, they make it for absolute beginners. Like yes i know how to add a plain the title said how to make a city not the basics of blender. Again, thank you so much for the pacing of the vid!
This video was great, I’ve been using displacement to make things like cities, but wasn’t sure how to apply good textures automatically, so was doing it mostly manually. This combines so many good techniques :)
Yess. The outcome is not really what I desire. Stop, I dont say its bad. More like, it is a different style and it reminded me the game Max Payne.... In the other hand, the techniques and genius ways to create a landscape this... this is marvelous.. Thank you for that
Thank you for this!! its quick and easy especially for the type of projects im working on. !!subscribed!! Question, why when i go to edit mode it goes flat again. Only in object mode it shows the meshed city
@@lanewallace. My pleasure. I'll give you a technical explanation, incase you're interested. My apologies if you already know this, but this may still be useful for others here. In the early days of cinema, filmmakers discovered that if the shutter that opens and closes to create each frame of film, usually 24 per second, is open half the time and shut half the time, then motion would get a blur that for the audience looks natural and smooth, i.e. it won't draw attention to itself. If the shutter was open a lot longer you get light streaks and a blurry, dreamy look, which is something you sometimes see in scenes if a person has been drugged and doesn't know where he is or what is going on. Actually, if you're really drunk, it feels a bit like your eyes have very long shutter speed. If the shutter is open much shorter, you get almost no motion blur and jerky movement, something that can be used creatively, like in the battle scenes in Saving Private Ryan. You don't have to be exactly 50% for it to look natural. Anything from 40% to 60% will look natural, and then you can deviate from that either way if you have creative reasons to do so. Important note: if 3D elements are superimposed onto live footage, for special effects, the 3D elements must have the same motion blur as the live footage, so the cinematographer must make a note if he deviated from the 50% so that the 3D creator can create matching SFX footage.
That is really great information. I did know about film and the shutter and everything, but did not ever consider matching that in 3D animation. So I will definitely remember this and use it :)
@@lanewallace. I'm benefiting a lot from your wonderful tutorials, so I am happy as a clam I could contribute a little something back to this channel. Cheers.
My displacement is not coming out like yours, when I apply the dispacement to the subdivided plane ..the clouds come out more like pointed mountains rather than being flat on top despite the settings I applied according to your tutorial
I have a question, does anybody knows how can I can make the fog look like that ? when I do it just looks dark and the one in the tutorial has blue tones
For anyone who may read this comment, something I found that did give me the blocky textures like he's getting is to go back into the displacement modifier, turn the coordinates from local to uv, crank the strength up to 6.4 and the midievel to 0.5. Then go back and turn the cell noise down to 0.04 to give it a more city-like feel. I have my dimensions set at x = 100m, y = 100m, z = 20m.
Hey bro, every time i try to align the picture to the buildings blender freezes but i can still move around the circle selector around what should i do ?
Hes pretty much going in to edit mode. There is a variety of ways to get there, the way i usually do it is press TAB, then click Edit Mode. You need to go in edit mode to delete little imperfections you dont want like how he did in the video. Hope that helps!
@@kingsmountain777 hes probably using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-Alt-Numpad0. Me personally i dont have a numpad in my keyboard so i just click on the little camera icon on the right side, right under the little hand icon.
I’m sure there is a way to make procedurally generated building exteriors and exterior decor using geometry nodes. But I have not even tried using geo nodes yet
It depends on what kind of brand of blender you get honestly. Like some blenders can definitely be considered junk, but there are a lot of options to choose from that will work much better.
In reverse, this interestingly also shows that people put up buildings in a random uncoordinated way in big cities.
Very interesting indeed
The Super Epic Montage Moment is how i feel when everything just go smoothly with every clicks and edits.
Never thought of it like this, this is genius and very intuitive, tired of throwing cubes around for composition haha! Good stuff G!
Thanks man!
How does this coment only have one reply?
@@SiderealRotationlemme fix that
3:13 you can just use a decimate modifier with the coplanar setting, it would fix all of the faces
Thank you!
What settings do you need to use when using the planar setting

It's harder to understand because I'm Korean, but I'm still learning by translating your videos. Thank you.

you added some new tweaks on top of Ian Huberts original! Thumbs up and thank you!

I like your approach to creating VFX
Nice use of Huberts methods. Good tutorial
really cool! thanks for sharing!
Hey thanks for this tutorial, It's perfect for my project!
Amazing work man, very helpful, thank you very much!
Thank you so much! And I’m glad I could help :)
This was brilliant
Nice ,very good tutorial ,thank u
That was a great tutorial.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this!! its quick and easy especially for the type of projects im working on. !!subscribed!! Question, why when i go to edit mode it goes flat again. Only in object mode it shows the meshed city
nvm I firgured it out! i missed a part
Ihaven't seen the whole video yet, but I just wanted to point ot that your amazing openign shot won't look jerky if you use 50% motion blur.
Thank you for the tip :)

Glad to see I'm not the only one with that problem.
I have a question, does anybody knows how can I can make the fog look like that ? when I do it just looks dark and the one in the tutorial has blue tones
Can you help me how to download the texture?
wow thank you so much!
when i apply the displacement it turns into a flat polygon any idea what going on?
Thank u for this
I couldn't get the blocky bits to appear when applying the displace modifier. Instead they came out more like pyramids. Suggestions?
For anyone who may read this comment, something I found that did give me the blocky textures like he's getting is to go back into the displacement modifier, turn the coordinates from local to uv, crank the strength up to 6.4 and the midievel to 0.5.

Why there's interlace in your video? Do you like VHS so much? ;D
I do really like VHS lol. But that is actually a frame rate problem and it was not intentional
hm... PBSDF material has its own emission color and strength, why not use it ?
Hey bro, every time i try to align the picture to the buildings blender freezes but i can still move around the circle selector around what should i do ?
cool
in 2:43 what button are you pressing im new in blender it really confuse me

Cool
how do you go into camera perspective
If you're that new to Blender you shouldn't be watching this lol
@@TheSpacePlaceYT dam bro been like 9 months. but thanks ig

I don't understand what to do to make the fog appear. Is it a material attached to the cityscape mesh?
Yea it’s a separate node that you add to a cube and scale the cube over the city.
@@CemeteryMan75 Ah, and a separate object as well. Thank you!
@@metalgear6531 make sure your camera is in the cube too
Now if only you can go inside of the buildings.
I’m sure there is a way to make procedurally generated building exteriors and exterior decor using geometry nodes. But I have not even tried using geo nodes yet
what the actual fuck is decimating the geometry?
It decreases the amount of polygons in an object.
This is trash u cant make mivie scenes from it bcs its only good from one view
its not trash. its not for making a movie scene lol its for making a cityscape backdrop, maybe a pre rendered background etc
terrible for beginners
Ill admit that it is, Im really sorry.
As a beginner, you're probably just bad at it.
Blender is junk.
It depends on what kind of brand of blender you get honestly. Like some blenders can definitely be considered junk, but there are a lot of options to choose from that will work much better.
