Andy — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 14:28:42 +0000

The Video Copilot site is arguably one of the best sites out there for learning Adobe After Effects – with their new Metropolitan and Skyscraper 3D pack (along with demo) it is also a must stop off for 3D urban modelling.

Their new Metropolitan pack features:

• Over 100 High Definition 3D Models
• Day and Night Textures Included
• Multiple 3D Formats (OBJ, C4D, FBX, 3DS Max, Vray)

The video below provides a glimpse of the possibilites:

Head over to Video Copilot for full details or to run through one of their 137 tutorials on everything After Effects.
Of course with a mix of Lumion/CityEngine you could do something similar and all with the free trials….

City in the Sky: 3D Max, V-Ray, Timelapse and After Effects

Andy — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 20:43:00 +0000

‘City in the sky’ is a concept about an imaginary tranquil oasis above the mega-developed and polluted city, where one can escape from the everyday noise and stress. It was developed as part of the ‘Megatropolis’ project, which started in London with few companies and artists, invited to create their own visions for the future mega-developed city. The metropolis depicted in the video is New York City because that’s where most of the production happened.While the overall ‘Megatropolis’ project didn’t reach a final stage, the presented concept grew into this architectural utopia.

The inspiring movie below is rendered with 3DSMAX and V-Ray. Additional footage and time-lapses shot with Canon5D MKII in New York City. Post&FX in AE:

The end night shot is especially noteworthy…

Rendering time came in at 50 hours running on a Intel Quad 3.5Ghz processor. It an impressive array of software and techniques, cumulating in a impressive clip.

Berlin Block Tetris

Andy — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:07:00 +0000

The movie below was created using After Effects as a University project by Sergej Hein, we like it a lot:

Berlin Block Tetris from Sergej Hein on Vimeo.

In Sergej’s own words:

“It´s kind of a parody about the former socialist building style. They use to build whole cities, without any change in House design or room layout to create cheep housing for workers (we call them Blocks). In Soviet times you could easily wake up at a friends place in another city and still feel like you are in your flat as the furniture was the same as well…

I was living in a Block on the opposite side of the street in Berlin 2 years ago. Living there remind me of my early childhood in Riga where we had nearly the same Bocks.

I think Alexei Paschitnow, the inventor of Tetris, had kind of the same Idea as me in spring 1984. I bet he was looking out of the window of his Block in Moscow and thought how do soviet architects actually plan this buildings?”

Very neat…

Design Camp: Urban Windows

Andy — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:48:00 +0000

Ryan Dewitt is currently teaching animation and video production at Design Camp 2009 where the focus of the animation/video discipline is to expose students to the principles of animation by creating a short artistic stop-motion movie with music.

One of the projects is entitled ‘Urban Windows’ aimed at simulating people interacting in an urban building. Sixteen videos are shot independently then combined in post to form one cohesive music video – we think its a neat idea and the outcomes are first class :

Take a look at the Urban Windows page for more examples and how it was made, it is also well worth taking a look at the main Design Camp site.

After Effects 3D City from Mattex Films HD on Vimeo.

The movie above by Mattex Films HD is the result of the latest tutorial over at Video Copilot – if you have 15 minutes to spare it is well worth taking a look at the 3D City walk through as it covers both creating the initial texture as well as creating the scene in After Effects.

Take a look at the 3D City After Effects Tutorial for full info.
