Greeble is a quick and easy way to create large scale sci-fi cityscapes – using our previous tutorials on Building a Greeble Skyscraper and Creating a Greeble City it is possible to create a scene in under an hour.

Greeble City from Antonio Casado on Vimeo.

The movie above by Antonio Casado is an update to his previous Greeble City movie we featured here on digital urban. As regular readers will know we are big fans of ‘Greeble‘ and the good news is that you can create a impressive cityscape using our Greeble a City tutorial in under 15 minutes.

Adding in the lighting, fans and smoke effects Antonio style takes a little more time….

If you do create a city using a tutorial we would love to know, so please do get in touch via our contacts link at the top and send us any renders or movies to feature here on the blog.

Extruding a City: Greeble is not just for SciFi

Andy — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:31:00 +0000

When using ‘Greeble’ techniques it is all to easy to slip into ‘Futuristic City’ mode – as our part one tutorial on using Greeble to create a city illustrates. There is nothing wrong with this of course, using ‘Fantasy Cities’ gets around many issues relating to copyright and allows various visualisation techniques to be tested out on a large urban scene.

Greeble is however much more than a ‘SciFi’ tool, it allows you to quickly and easily create a city – the second part of our next tutorial will provide full details. Civicarts.com used Greeble to extrude their CITY OF LEGACY, CITY OF PROPHESY project:

Inspired by the promise of a new civic lifestyle on the Arabian Gulf, the Madinat Al Hareer (City of Silk) brings all the environmental, commercial, cultural, leisure and civic aspirations to a new location in the Arab World.

Three hearts and a centrepiece — business, culture, leisure, surrounding a new National Park and Wildlife Reserve, all enfronting the Bay, River and Gulf. Connected to Kuwait City by a new Bay-Bridge, joining with the new Arabian Bay Port, and anticipating a new International Airport, this city is planned to accommodate nearly 700,000 people and create nearly 430,000 new jobs. An emerald necklace of lakes and parks, like ribbons of silk, intertwine and weave each of the 25 neighbourhoods together into one cohesive city.

http://www.civicarts.com is well worth a look, especially under their ‘Projects’ section for a variety of visualisations and architectural presentations.

Thanks go to Simon for letting us know about the city of silk visualisation.
