Making a Distant City (Patreon)

Going a bit fast and loose, but we cover some good ground in this one! Putting together a digital matte painting of a city from (nearly) scratch.

If anyone wants the buildings I made in the video for anything, here's a project file with them and the geonodes setup here. I didn't clean things too much, but it should be fairly self explanatory.  

Here's the asset download page for the harbor video texture from a few years back.

And here's the new city shimmer video texture I've been using. And a scaled down version (the other one's a bit big.) Although be warned! The lights are exceptionally shimmery in this one. It's not subtle. I thought the more shimmery the better, but this is... perhaps too shimmery for a lot of uses.

Also this video's sort of a sequel to this old video! (lots of sillhouettes and video textures).
