NEON CITY

This is a 3D projection of a 2D image onto a CG mesh. I edited an image of a city in Photoshop to emulate a specific neon/ Blade Runner style city photography. I added various layers in photoshop to the original image to obtain this final result. Below are breakdown videos, before and after image edits and a description of my process.

Breakdown:

I first edited this image in Photoshop and created various layers to use to provide depth to the final shot.

I then took this edited image and projected it through a camera in Maya. I also created another camera for the animation of the city. Once the image was projected I then created a mesh corresponding to the placement of the buildings in the image. Then I exported the two cameras and mesh into Nuke. I then projected the image through the original camera. I then rendered through the animation camera to achieve the final shot. Below is a video showing my process.
