Megacity 02 – Final Cityscape Render by Jan Urschel

In this second part of my two-part cityscape design and rendering course we’re looking at getting our renders out of Blender and into Photoshop for a final illustration treatment.

As a bonus I took the same scene into Octane (standalone) and went through the same process so we can compare the two solutions side by side. We will then learn how to composite several render passes quickly in Photoshop and with a few simple matte painting techniques arrive at a photo-real finished illustration.

What topics are covered?

– Blender 2.8 Eevee Render

– Octane (standalone) Render

– Photoshop paintover

Who is it for? Concept designers and other creatives who want to learn about futuristic cityscape design with 3D and 2D tools.

What will I get?

– 2.5 hour video tutorial with narration

– 3D files

– Textures

– Reference images

What do I need to have before I start:

– Blender 2.8 (no plugins required)

– Octane (standalone version)

– Basic knowledge in a 3D application and how nodes work are of advantage

– Knowledge of Photoshop
