Forget what I said about cables 😃
This FREE Add-On is way better and quicker!

[SerMattzio]

I can't believe I've never thought of just using the Wireframe Modifier to make railings...wow. Thanks.

[SZMIDEL]

I love adding a good column... simple rectangle with one extrusion and a bevel...slap an array on it and call it cyberpunk if you add graffiti textures to it

[OrdinaryLatvian]

What a great video, packed to the brim with ideas. Great editing too!

[BigWallsy]

This video, in literally under a minute, showed me: a) how to actually create/ tag an asset and b) the benefit of actually using the asset browser. Many thanks!

[RetroPlus]

I love your channel so much, that scene you showed at the end was awesome!

[savagesauron]

Thanks for sharing. Really put into perspective how cumbersome my railing workflow was. :)

[RinconDelSaiyaman]

[floyd]

amm would it be possible (when you get the time ofcourse) to do a small tutorial on how to make a greeble asset pack? :)

[radub]

Hi Nico, thanks for your tutorials! Amazing work. I have a question for the sky used in the greebles section, where or how did you make it look so good?

[richardconway]

Great video, very succinct. Full of really useful ideas. Your final scene, I thought, was absolutely fantastic. Really interesting architectural shapes, and loads of reality enhancing detail, and very convincing 'mood' elements. I liked it very much.
But ... I was a bit puzzled ... I couldn't understand why the camera movements were abrupt and a bit haphazard, and the frame rate of the render was very low. Were they intentional choices?
I would have loved to have seen a really smooth fly through your scene, that would have been really interesting.

Great video Nico, I was wondering how did you add the lights on the sides of the buildings in the final scene?
