Making of a High Rise Building

Brief Introduction

This is a practice of creating a high-rise building in which I pieced together a project with model resources and completed the rendering within three working days.

Production Ideas

This is the first tutorial that I’ve made so please do not hesitate to share any feedback. Personally, I am obsessed with high rise projects and usually do some related practice. As it is not a real case, I enjoyed the relaxation and fun in the production process and gave the rein to my imagination and creativity. No matter whether you are in a real project or just in practice, full preliminary preparation is vital for the project. The first step is searching for references and deciding on a direction, which is an assurance for the following work. The entire scene was done with commonly used and simple ways, no complicated procedure or plug-ins. 3d Max 2009 and V-Ray 2.0 were used for rendering and Photoshop for post production.

Great job! It is really impressive to me.
Thanks for sharing this, Li JingYang! Just as other commenter's say, it would be great if you could share with us a video tutorial of the whole creative process. Again, congratulations for this, the building looks great.
That's unbelievable! I can't imagine what kind of equipment you're using to produce such a breathtaking visual.
master piece!
Wow! That is just an amazing image. Thanks for sharing the process you went through to create it. Also, I 2nd Derek's request. A bit more info please.
Do not know what information you need?
I think the artists first language is not English as seen on the interface of some of the screenshots. However, as mentioned above, it would be nice to have some description of what is being done.
Art is without borders, thank you love it.
It's so cool! I love it!
Very good, but I wish if post production was explained in a video tutorial
I LOVE IT

That is what I thought as well. Great images but this seems incomplete or rushed compared to CGarchitects usually feature rich making of's.

Fantastic image! Any chance of a description of what's going on in each image (particularly the Photoshop bit)? It's a little hard to make out...
