I am from Vilnius (Lithuania) and I was realy proud about what you said about my town. Thanks dude.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

That's what I think :) Thanks!

[@la.4556]

***** Kaunas is better :3

wow...

[@bencebalaton]

Ok, someone tell Andrew Price that Blender tutorial makers are not all idiot on youtube. The thing that caught my attention is not the render, but the solution for place antennas and roofs all over. Easy and pure genius,you have my +sub.

[@tomasdabasinskas8977]

Hi, Gleb. A nice tut. Just wanted to say that I'm from Vilnius and it is super nice and weird at the same time to find a random tutorial and to hear a teacher just pick a random city from a little known country... And that city is mine. Nice. Thanks for the tutorial and all the best.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

I love visiting Vilnius, so it's a conscious choice :))

[@jamesabell9494]

This is really great, I am a 3ds Max user for many years. I am getting more and more into Blender as it allows me to teach with it.

[@SVAFnemesis]

You can't find a blender tutorial better than this one. You just can't.

[@KleinLuzi]

+SVAFnemesis I just found tons of them ;)

[@SVAFnemesis]

Sub Zero I demand all their links.

[@SVAFnemesis]

+Thatrandomguy Fromchile He's not coming back. He came through the door and I sniped him and I took all his links and buried them all. You see, no one challenges my authority.

[@gohonosx]

+SVAFnemesis I am better

[@SVAFnemesis]

+SilencerOftheHills Akira Yamaoka is better

[@lukas0965]

For those having problems extruding (or going to edit mode), try this: After importing the city .osm file, click Select > Select all by type > Mesh. Then join press Ctrl + J to join all mesh objects. Now you can go to Edit mode (Tab) and extrude the buildings (E). That worked for me.

[@cameracafecompilation6561]

Don't work :(

[@lukas0965]

Try deselecting "map.osm" object, then merging. Might work

[@AceSantiago]

[@HasardHefe]

All the city tutorials I've seen so far (might be because I'm quite new to Blender), usually take several hours to make. I'm happy that there is a shorter way to do cities, especially when it doesn't feel like worth 4-5 hours. Thank you!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Time is money :)

[@JosephCatrambone]

The hair system for the accessories on top of the buildings was really clever. That and the 'select similar' + randomize height. Very good tutorial.

[@cfirwin3]

very clever treatment of textures... quick and dirty application with specific alterations where needed. Great way to get to a great looking, relatively low poly city.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

you nailed it. ;)

[@AndreasKurz]

Ok... I am at point 4 right now and speechless... awesome!

[@MrJago0]

i like what you do,fast,simple and short,yessssss...it is not like those other tutorials eventhough they are also great.thanks.now i am taking my classes from you.

[@ronydey2696]

Ohh its super duper cool just awesome photorealistic CG environment and fog effect just great sir

[@BlindIllusionist]

Wow, thats totally awesome! I spendet months to create my city: City Project Final Animation - Blender 2.71 But you are doing it in minutes and it looks amazing!

[@jebediahbob678]

Wow this was a really good tutorial and it only took 7 minutes. This is so much better than labouring away for an hour or so.

[@DarthBruce]

Absolutely brilliant tutorial

[@TheMixMusicChart]

I'm blown away....this is more that I could ask for...now let's hope it work for the location I'm looking for....either way thank you thank you for sharing this!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

City. From scratch. Tutorial.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Nope, but why not? )

[@zyzo99]

Gleb, i am impressed w/ your Blender fluency, dont be greedy ;-), share a link where you learned Blender's workflow that good ?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Zyzo, you may have this impression because I edited video (and sped it up considerably ;)

[@zyzo99]

Gleb Alexandrov OK, Gleb ))) but isn' it just final impression what counts ?? I am REALLY impressed w/this. Blender workflow model is a challenge to me, learned on CAD software. But i am resting&getting inspiration watching the video like yours! Congrats!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Saw this thing on Blendernation some time ago, bookmarked and forgot. But yeah, later on it proved to be quite useful snippet!

[@vercetti7586]

Simple steps for a really beautiful result.

[@Lohiau1]

I'm pretty sure people have told you before but... you are a genius! I had no idea you could create a city like that.

[@tanim.3578]

This thumbnail looks utterly gorgeous, despite being created instead of actually taking a photograph of the desolency. Also, I thought that the tutorial would be really complex and long; since the place looks really vast, but it oddly was just right! Well done, my lad!

[@baobaosang2740]

I never touched blender yet I still understand what should I do after this video, omfg, this is a good video

[@BenjaminDod]

Nice, quick, minimalistic tutorial.

[@amjadalhosaini9864]

let me say this, I am not blender user, but I really enjoy your techniques in blender. You are so creative.

[@jamesxxxyz8775]

Amazing tutorial.

[@luisreynoso9413]

Congratulations Gleb, I think you are doing the best Blender tutorials in the world. Short and sweet.

[@Gunslinger2012M]

Thank you so much, I have looked all over the internet for how to design unique building structures and this is by far the most creative way to go about it.

[@paulsungte7198]

you've explained each steps short and very straight forward to the point. Thanks for the video.

[@geraldmaybebaby1585]

very nice, you make it look so easy. like your videos, thank you.

[@sandwich6609]

Nice man, real quick tut :))

[@ShashankRaj]

I love Silent Hilll !!!!! Man, I was looking for something like this for a long time. ..

[@thegoodhen]

6:04 - Blender 2.73 can render volumetric effects while the camera being in the volume, allegedly. So that information is no longer true (although it was when the tutorial was released). Just pointing it out.

[@TilestoKGD]

Классный город, классный урок, классный английский. Спасибо за видео!)

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Спасибо, Тигран! Thanks so much.

[@simplebarun]

Nice tut. I think a little bit more explanation will be a great help for blender beginners. Like I am unable to extrude building. Please keep uploading.

[@analogman9697]

Mind blown. This is great! Thanks.

[@MovingThePicture]

That's amazing. Have to try it tomorrow

[@tmszrs]

Truly impressive method.

Particle system for roof details is TOO clever!

[@-paghysaroth-3028]

Gelb you're a Genius!

[@goodmannyamunda167]

Thank you! You guys are taking Blender to another level. And you spend your time developing your skills so that we can learn from people like you. Thank you much Gleb!

[@Cody3D113]

dude... youre a blender jedi. This is such an awesome tutorial.

[@DisemboweII]

It's mental how quickly and easily this can be created... I would've wasted hours painstakingly adding individual antennae to each house, fiddling with individual textures etc... top notch tutorial

[@TheDrumtracks]

Thank you for this short tutorials! Blender seems so easy to use. I'm using it since one day to combine it with studiophotography and it's amazing how fast i created a realistic foggy landscape.

[@Arborealis0]

I love it. Bored to death from unwrapping. So true. I guess if it doesn't line up, just add more particles to the fog and cover it up a bit. :)

[@KuroKarma]

Cool video!! I didn't know you can make this so easily!

[@LouisHong97]

You're are so talented in Blender

[@MelinaBering1]

Incredible! I'm trying to teach myself Blender, and I find it quite difficult, but these video tutorials keep me from quitting ;-)...thanks!

[@coralynn91]

Thank you for this tutorial. This is such a practical way of doing a city view!

[@chrisfenchen5462]

This is so inspiring even after 7 yrs now.

[@icedriver2207]

this was one of the most awesome videos I have seen done so quickly.

[@karlstein9572]

Amazing, fun and informative. Thank you so much for sharing this stuff.

[@AICineVerseStudios]

Simply, AWESOME

[@RBRallyLT]

Thanks, as always - very cool tuto. And I love my city, not so dramatic dark, but nay way!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

I visit Vilnius from time to time. Love this city!

[@CanyonWanderer]

Wow, you sure know your way around Blender! I've been doing experiments with Blender since I got to know it a few years back, but only did a few real (well, hobby) 'projects'. This video contained a few 'Aha' moments for me, uncovering ways to do thing easier than expected, very nice ...

[@GlennTubeCreative]

Awesome! And Vilnius is awesome too!

[@giovanidacosta6364]

Impressive! And the explanations are quite easy when you explain!

[@blademirlima4708]

Hey brother, you can use roof detais from OSM to do half of the job for you, like shape, colour, material, and orientation.

[@andrecobb2878]

Awesome tutorial

[@arunasjoskaudas7147]

Yay for Vilnius!

[@tontonguimu3539]

wow ! amazing work and tuto !

[@ExperimentSubject]

Эх, чет для меня пока бленда шибко сильно сложно :D А за урок спасибо, мотивирует дальше продолжать изучать блендер))))

[@Norman_Peterson]

better tutorial ever. Fast sample smart!

[@sonofhendrix]

To create a city from scratch you must first create the universe....

[@codelad1923]

only a small section of the universe for rendering : ^ )

[@maulanalaser4748]

Uhh... we're not creating apple pie...

[@concept1027]

*slow clap*

[@medbendi6445]

I am imagining you rereading this message after four years

[@syedrizvi6408]

@@medbendi6445 I am new to blender and 3 d creations. Please advise, if we do some programming in blender 2.8

[@ChaseEverything]

I love the soundtrack and this guy's accent is awesome and blends well with the atmosphere of the video :) Great Work on the Tutorial, I ended up giving up though halfway through as certain texturing didn't work once I had extruded the buildings with the city I chose. (Newport Wales UK)

[@Hoachin]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@petelozzi7298]

I love Gleb!

The results are amazing.

[@dawnofender2355]

wow, this was much simpler than I thought it would be! Thank you!

[@bestbooks9015]

That's Nuts(crazy). I've used Blender and never knew how to use it.

[@mugshottricky]

Thanks for a great tutorial, very well explained and amazing results fast.

[@vliff]

У меня, новичка, были небольшие сложности: - надо установить импорт OSM (погуглите!) - перед импортом не забыть очистить сцену - после импорта можно почистить от двойных полигонов - у меня импортировалось в разные объекты, нужно сделать join - select random нужно делать в режиме выбора faces, а не vertices - когда поднимаешь здания, полезно нажать Tab туда-сюда, для просмотра что получается - в конце, когда нужно поднять только несколько случайных небоскребов, можно просто жать select random, он плюсует выборку, а потом нажать ctrl+I, и тогда выборка будет малой Надеюсь, будет полезно другим.

[@zacoons7889]

thx so much I've always wanted to know how to make smoke!

[@geoffrey3668]

Really amazing. I did learn a lot in 7 min! How to save days of modeling thanks a plugins and particles system.

[@LaneCarter]

That's a really cool method to create a city. Thanks a lot!

[@kaytee8716]

Loved it! Thankyou !
