This personal project started with me playing around with new Houdini Labs tools and turned into a learning project on ways to create large scale, detailed, procedural environments.
The city was approached from a mostly procedural approach with a few manual elements to make the city feel more custom and to break up some of the procedural uniformity and to save time. These included a modelling a custom building, placing the big neon signs, and selecting the building walls for the scaffolding. During the project I created many custom tools and procedural asset generation setups, for things like the scaffolding, the support structure and the different roof elements (antennas, etc). The smoke was created in EmberGen.
I decided to add a flying flying vehicle to the scene. It was modelled in Houdini and Textured in Substance Painter.
