For what is the first post of 2008 (happy new year everyone by the way!) something I spotted on the excellent Digital Urban blog a few days ago. Have you ever wondered on how you could create a detailed, textured 3D virtual city model for an impressive demo visualisation in under 5 minutes? Well courtesy of YouTube and FreeTutorials, you can now have a go at that!
While the modelling package used in the video above is Bryce (which personally I have little experience of), I found it easy enough to adapt the technique to something like Discreet's 3D Studio Max. Indeed I would imagine the technique of using simple height maps to generate the basic mesh could be adapted to just about any other package.
