Follow along with Adam Crespi as he designs, models, and renders a
detailed cityscape with Maya. After gathering reference materials, Adam
designs the basic structure and components of the city in Adobe
Illustrator, generating reusable symbols to represent trees, lights, and
buildings. With the plan in hand, Adam dives into Maya, creating proxy
objects as he lays out the city to scale. Each element is then set up as a
reference object and duplicated throughout the scene, using containers and
mental ray Proxy objects. The final chapter shows you how to add a
matte-painting background to your scene and check the composite in Nuke.
Adam also includes a bonus movie featuring a real-world example project: a
simulation of a crane moving on a studio backlot.
Topics include:
* Conceptualizing the city
* Planning the city in Illustrator
* Drawing buildings
* Laying out the city grid and buildings
* Creating tree and lighting elements
* Building a reference structure
* Creating referenced objects
* Exporting layer markers for compositing
