I found myself locked inside a car, roaming aimlessly through empty streets. Questions swirled in my mind – which world was this, and who held the power to change it? Was I also a part of this ever-evolving world?
A glimmer of hope sparked within me, believing I wasn’t lost but essential to this enigmatic existence. Suddenly, the sky above wept magical tears, dancing on my windshields, creating mesmerizing patterns, each droplet more beautiful than the other.
Then, like an explosion of wonder, vibrant colors and lights burst into view, defying the monotony that once ruled. Water on the streets transformed into a reflective canvas, mirroring my emotions. Laughter and tears blended, and an inexplicable joy bubbled within me.
I couldn’t help but feel special, something changed within as without
This project presented an excellent opportunity to hone my composition and lighting skills. As these aspects are pivotal in narrating a story and crafting attractive environments, I found the exercise incredibly beneficial.
Initiating the project, I devised the city layout, meticulously incorporating fine details. At this stage, I also placed a variety of kitbash assets, ensuring diversity through thoughtful rotation, stacking, and unique placements to bring depth to the scene.
Experimenting with diverse lights, colors, and positions, I endeavored to enhance the overall visual appeal of the scene, and added volumetric elements to create depth.
I enriched the composition with additional assets, including a focal ‘hero’ object – a flying car. Complementary lighting was incorporated to harmonize all the elements within the composition.
To inject more detail, I added smaller assets, and repositioned some for improved compositional balance.
With an eye for the minutiae, I incorporated finer details, fine-tuned the lighting, and made final adjustments to ensure the composition looked just right.
The final stage was carried out in Photoshop, where I layered different passes to achieve the visualization’s ultimate look, bringing together all the elements and efforts of the process.
