Remembering: Shiganshina

“The world is merciless, and it's also very beautiful.”

― Hajime Isayama

Greetings! This is a scene I recreated from the hit anime "Attack on Titan" featuring one part of Shiganshina District- a fictional setting in the show. All modelled with Maya, rendered with Arnold. Textured with Quixel Bride, Speedtree and Substance Painter. Final grade within Nuke.

This is my most extensive project to date, working day after day with countless crashes and even lost half of the files mid-progress. I would say the most challenging aspect of the project is to generate multiple roof tiles variation while managing all the textures file.

Also, this project marks my first attempt to Speedtree, and to streamline my UDIM workflow within Substance Painter.

Overall, I am satisfied with the outcome as I want to capture that novel beauty of the anime while keeping a rather cinematic look to it.

Total completion time: roughly one-and -a-half-month (exclude all the crashes and file lost :D)

Hope you enjoy it!
