Making of Fifth Avenue in NYC

Gilvan Isbiro shows how he made his "Fifth Av." visualization.

The idea of make this picture started when I was working on my "Davis street". (Read the tutorial "Making of Davis street"). I was searching for reference materials for cars, streets, lights and other stuff and then I found this picture:

Reference image

 

It interested me, so I decided to recreate this scene in 3d. I started gathering more references of this place, to have as much details as possible to get nice materials and lighting.

Reference images

 

I used the main reference image as the background image of my scene. I started positioning some boxes to block-out the buildings in the scene. To learn about the details of the buildings I used Google Street view.

I modeled manholes and surroundings, I used a displacement map to achieve uneven street surface.

Modeling stage

 

To make the street, I separated the model into two, because I wanted to use two kinds of textures - one in high resolution and one in low-res.

I modeled manholes areas to make them look old and damaged.

Put some leaves on the street to make it look natural.

For street surface material I used a mix and put in the diffuse Color 1. Road texture was created in Photoshop. I applied a color correction, made it darker, copied to Color 2 and also make some color corrections. Then I put a map in MIX Amount.

Making blend material

 

I placed the stuff I just made in a blend with the material 1 and Material 2, increased the reflection and left only the diffuse map and deleted others (bump,reflect,Rglossiness). I masked it with a separate map to get some puddles on the street surface.

I used Vray to light planes around of the environment

I also put some lights inside stores

Nice work! I dont like haos on the ground (street looks like after earthquake, to much reflections, strips to wide)...but generally nice technique... good luck in next projects :)

nice work!.. one thing that bothers me is the way you lit up your scene. The final image looks too lit up. I personally think lighting up your scene using an overcast cloudy HDRi with a hint of the direction of the light will make this scene much better and extremely realistic. My little two cents. Thanks... Nice work :)
