Creating Urban Game Environments in 3ds Max is a practical guide to building 3D cityscapes for games. In this course, author Adam Crespi constructs a city block in 3ds Max utilizing low-polygon modeling and advanced texturing techniques. The course shows how to model common city elements such as buildings, intersections, curbs, and roofs and explains how to expand a city quickly and easily by reusing existing geometry in a modular way. The course also sheds light on simulating real-world detail with baking, lighting, and ambient occlusion techniques and offers a series of best practices for exporting to the Unity gaming engine. Exercise files accompany the course.

Topics include:

  • Understanding the design process and software requirements
  • Analyzing concept art for texture and key shadow detail
  • Planning differently styled buildings
  • Laying out city blocks
  • Organizing construction elements and models using layers
  • Cloning geometry and texture
  • Testing the module for correct floor-to-floor heights
  • Arranging, aligning and cloning modular elements
  • Building a texture library
  • Creating stone, wood, and brick textures
  • Constructing texture sheets
  • Drawing detail
  • Using occlusion as a foundation for dirt
  • Preparing for Unity as a world builder

  2. Holy …..! Great, just what i was looking for! There’s still one similar course from I3D it’s called Next-Gen Game Development with Unity3D Volume II: 3dsMax and ZBrush Production Pipeline. Does anybody knows something about that? The first is here but i cannot find this second one…

  4. Muchas gracias, lo estoy descargando y espero aprender mucho de estos tutoriales.

    Saludos

  5. …btw this is not impressive as the picture…actually pretty lame :(

  6. The image is completely misleading. It’s a scene from “Stonemason’s” Backstreets Daz package (http://www.daz3d.com/i/shop/itemdetails/?item=4627). Here’s an example of the horrible building you make with this: http://i51.img-dead/2uesdjr.png

  9. Here I was thinking we’d get a tut from the great Stefan Morrell. (pretty sure that’s his image)….Disappointed!

  11. hi iron boy why i can’t download ny cgpeers ?
