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

Thanks ironboy!!
How could we learn new things without you!
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…
ironboy!….as always thanks a bunch of times.
Muchas gracias, lo estoy descargando y espero aprender mucho de estos tutoriales.
Saludos
…btw this is not impressive as the picture…actually pretty lame :(
How come?
Its a single building, poorly designed, better ones come from http://www.3dmotive.com/
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
thanks!!
thanks Ironboy, thanks for the torrent as well
Thanks, Ir0nboy!
Here I was thinking we’d get a tut from the great Stefan Morrell. (pretty sure that’s his image)….Disappointed!
mersi

Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
