Create a Sprawling 3D CITY without Blowing up your Computer!!

Today on the #vfx livestream I'm recreating a photo in #3d using #cinema4d. The trick is to use displacement maps and noise to create the night-city effect in order to save polygons and vram.

Yo this is like c4d Bob Ross. So frickin chill dude.

[@pwnisher]

Yo i’ll take that :D

[@ckannan90]

Clint on his own has such a different energy than Clint in the Corridor videos. I've been seeing those forever and never found this channel. He's so chilled out here. Great stuff.

[@IndyStry]

Ayeeee!!!! Thank you so much Clint! Glad you loved it! Big fan of you and the boys from Corridor for over a decade now. Thanks for the prize and hosting a community that is as helpful and insightful as you. Keep the challenges coming!

[@pwnisher]

You rock dude!! Your work is crazy inspiring!

[@marcowebb9491]

Love these streams man, i appreciate you show the whole process without cutting anything out. Really helps :)

[@valesow]

I like watching these videos, not even doing these myself but just learning new ways to do things. Good Video!

[@c3ramics]

"But I will do a feature film, I know that" This is honestly all the motivation it takes. Even if it's not immediately happening, the calling and the purpose are there! Everything you do now serves the end. Can't wait for that special project!

[@thelukieshow]

Clint, you're the man. I'm usually working saturdays but one of these days I wanna catch one of these live! Love all the work you do, dude.

[@abhinavsivakumar6403]

This is just incredibly wholesome I love it!

[@TheAbsolutecad]

I'm too late to this party, but here is an AE tip. Create an adjustment layer above the mosaic adj layer. Add FIND EDGES and then set the later to multiply. That will add a small black edge to each of the squares and separates them when you use the image as a disp map.

[@rcnewman51.]

I don’t even know how to use c4d, but I just love watching these videos! Your art is insane man! Thank you for sharing all this knowledge😎🤙

[@018FLP]

Oh my, you have a lot of content... and i'll gladly see them all! Love your work at at Corridor, so it's soo good to see you doing your thing! I'm Proud :3

Glad you came out to your own channel... Nothing wrong with CC or the team. Just wanna say a big thanks to everyone for sharing.

Ur satisfying render was mind blowing . Love Ur work at corridor crew keep up 👍👍

[@ThomvanVliet]

Wow dude you mentioned the feeling of tiny in huge space and the reverse of that, that was exactly my thought of that image before you mentioned it. That feeling is soooo vividly weird, I always got it when I was feeling a bit sick and was drifting in and out of sleep. It always had a very geometric trace to it, like I could feel the 'structure' of the space and objects itself. Man being human is weird.

[@WindBendsSteel]

A simple way to add variation to noise is to add the sine of an arbitrary angle to the noise values, this angle can be defined by the planes coordinates with a hash21 function

[@jacobunknown]

Making a city with noise displacement is an amazing idea! I think I might make this as a procedural node group in blender.

[@yasunakaikumi]

Actually you can use voronoi instead so it looks like futuristic

[@andreybagrichuk5365]

Amazing!!!! Thank u for your work !!!!

[@jurneelucero1287]

glad I just found your KZbin page !! love it

[@pwnisher]

YES!! Me tooooo

[@TheOpacue]

So cozy!! Love those long ones!

[@JustDecentArt]

you need to use a bake texture node after the color correction if plugging into a displacement node. you can use the bake texture node to mix between two different material displacements for mix materials.

[@silastoppe1936]

So cool. You have so much talent and put in the work to develop your skill💪💪

[@pwnisher]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@DrErnst]

Looking good! Makes me think of L.A. skyline at night - an the show Bosch as he lives on a penthouse on stilts in beverly hills in the show.. i think one detail though at 2:47:54 there should be a black corridor under powerlines.. usually people wouldnt like to live beneath humongus powerlines, that doesn't compare with those small houses in size. When you compare it with the size of the lamps the powerlines look huge so perhaps something could be done to the scale and the perspective (even smaller powerline towers in the distance)..

Hey Clint, Love your work on Corridor and here on your channel, can you run through what hardware you use? I like working with a tablet but I've only used pretty cheap gear so far to see how I went with it, I want to upgrade a bit so I'd love your opinion on what you think is a good drawing tablet.

[@TAKUMISEGI]

the ちょっと待ってください (BRB) graphic made laugh so much!

[@Marshimized]

2:27:40 i swear i've had this feeling since i was a kid, i've never even tried explaining it and hearing you talk about it was crazy

[@Tom-yp7sj]

it's called Alice in Wonderland syndrome

[@ahmadmotiongraphics2062]

beautiful 😍

[@waketp420]

My favorite from the Corridor crew!

[@MrJeerant]

I find this fascinating! I would love to try it out, but it looks SO daunting.. Where to start?

[@erevanayen]

I feel like the transmission towers kinda break the mood by not shrinking fast enough into the distance. The first pair is very close, but the second one seems to be sitting on top of the city and the scale doesn't make much sense to me. Anyways a great stream ❤! Shame I couldn't watch it live.

[@silasmagu5301]

Displacement maps can only output twin opposite shift .hence black and white . could produce similar effect with red and blue

[@physicsaurchemistrykeliye3681]

You are my inspiration

[@infectioussneeze9099]

Cant wait for next weeks GUEST !!!!

[@sanjacobs6261]

11:44 I don't think you should be using a mid level of 0.5 here. It'll be fine as long as you're only using one texture with one height setting, but when you start cranking the height of some of the other planes later on, you'll end up creating massive dips down in the planes that have high buildings, making what is essentially massive square holes in the ground.

[@caronte1974]

thanks... nice video.

[@MagicFungus777]

ngl i went to sleep while watching yt and when i woke up i was halfway through this video

[@ismar.sel_1570]

Hey Mr. Clint if I can call you that. I was wondering if you could show us how you guys made the drifting scene from Drifting Anime Cars. I would really appreciate it thanks :)

[@DrErnst]

Do you usually post this tutorial file so people could play around with it in the dischord servers?

[@gepi5667]

Even though I'm a Blender Artist, I still watched this awesome stream and am super excited for more streams. (I'm also excited for you to get revenge on Sam)

[@LucasMillerMTB]

its been 2 hours and I'm only 15 minutes into this video... guess this is what I get for using blender. Although I'm getting results, the hardest part about this so-far is blender's lack of use of displacement maps with limited vertices. In order for displacements, it requires a subdivision surface modifier so yay...

[@physicsaurchemistrykeliye3681]

Clint please 🙏🙏 make tutorial for beginner in cinema 4d I love your work so so much

George Lucas himself invented the word "Greeble" (pronounced "Greeblee" and Greeblies") and WETA has "Widgets" and the Brits have "Nurnies". There ya' go. You're up to snuff on modeling verbiage.

Bruv imma be really serious right now. I have seen peter with blender, and him with cinema 4d, this dude is not that good at creating 3d stuff. hes pretty bad.
