San Francisco based CG artist Vladimir Petkovic shows us how he made his awesome steampunk scene using Maya
旧金山的CG艺术家弗拉基米尔佩特科维奇向我们展示了如何使用Maya制作的蒸汽朋克的场景I will briefly go over the major steps I took while constructing Cuberia ? the Capital city of my imaginary world.我叙述的主要步骤,构建Cuberia吗?我的假想的世界。Inspiration
灵感Cuberia is mainly inspired by Victorian era London, with some elements from various steampunk artworks I admire mixed in for good measure. I wanted to represent a powerful and dynamic city, which is a major epicenter of trading and political intrigue.Cuberia主要灵感来源于维多利亚时代伦敦,与一些从不同的蒸汽朋克元素艺术品混合在一起。代表一个强大的和动态的城市,这是一个贸易和政治阴谋的主要中心。The tower
塔The main focus of this artwork is the tower, which stands at the front. The shape and design of my tower is mainly inspired by Disney Hollywood Studios - The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. I paid a lot of attention to the texture and intricate details that could make it compelling to look at, such as the pipes, power source etc.这个作品的主要焦点是塔,站在前面。塔的形状和设计主要是受迪斯尼好莱坞电影公司——《暮光之城》的参考。我很多注意纹理和错综复杂的细节,可以使它引人注目,如管道、电源等。Tower of Terror at Disney Hollywood Studios

主要焦点The city implementation
城市实施I knew that implementing the entire city scene was going to be extremely demanding on my computer's memory. The workaround I used was to build a dozen or so unique elements and then use Maya particle instancing. The principle is that Maya only loads the instances (a house, a tree, etc.) one time and then you are able to multiply these elements almost indefinitely, without clogging the RAM memory. I added simple expression codes that randomize y-axis rotations and scaling. This helped randomizing instances even further. Autodesk has recently simplified this process with their plugin called XGen.我知道实现整个城市场景是非常占用我的电脑的内存要求。我使用的解决方案是建立一个十几个独特的元素,然后使用 Maya粒子实例化。Maya的原则是只加载实例(房子,树等)一次,然后你可以把这些元素几乎无限,没有堵塞RAM内存。我添加了简单的表达式代码随机轴旋转和缩放。这有助于进一步随机化实例。欧特克最近与他们的插件叫XGen简化这个过程。I had three major particle systems:- background forest- city elements- island grass and ground plants我有三个主要的粒子系统：背景的森林城市元素岛草和地面植物At the end, I had around 3000 architectural objects and a huge number of trees, grass and other plants. Overall poly count was over 600,000,000 polys but the scene was still manageable.在年底，我有大约3000建筑对象和大量的树木，草和其他植物。整体的多边形数超过600000000后但现场仍然可控。I scattered multiple particle systems on basic terrain geometry
我分散多粒子系统的基本地形几何I used the Instancer tool, which replaces each particle with a geometry instance
我用实例工具，具有几何实例替换每个粒子Instance types
实例类型The city itself is a combination of houses and various industrial elements. I purposely mixed medieval with 19th century architecture and retro-futuristic elements in order to get the impression of a very old, yet advanced city that has conquered electricity.城市本身就是房屋和各种工业元素的结合体。我故意混合中世纪与第十九世纪的建筑和复古的未来元素，以获得一个非常古老的，但先进的城市，征服了电力的印象。House elements
房子的元素Medieval elements
中世纪的元素To break the repetition I placed some unique buildings and elements such as the zeppelin, floating military vessel, the botanical garden, the city square etc:打破重复我把一些独特的建筑和元素如飞艇、浮动军事船舶、植物园、城市广场等The botanical garden
植物园The city square
城市广场I was aiming for an exotic and oriental atmosphere, so I used Onyx software to create tropical trees like palms and such. The grass and ground plants are modeled in Maya.我的目标是异国情调和东方的气氛,所以我用红Maya软件创建热带树木像手掌等。草和地面植物在Maya建模。The flora
植物区系Lighting
照明The lighting is very basic; since it is an outdoor, daylight scene, I used a Mental Ray physical sun and sky. I tend to do lighting using the default Lambert material, without any textures.照明是非常基本的,因为它是一个室外,白天,我使用一个精神雷身体太阳和天空。我倾向于做照明使用默认的兰伯特材料,没有任何纹理。The lighting

渲染通道The three major render passes I used for this project were Beauty, Ambient Occlusion, and ZDepth.三大渲染我用于这个项目是 Beauty, Ambient Occlusion, 与 ZDepth.Beauty pass
美通过Ambient Occlusion (contact shadows)
环境遮挡（接触阴影）ZDepth (used for both, depth of field and distance fog)
ZDepth(用于景深和距离雾)Putting everything together in Photoshop
把一切都在PhotoshopPhotoshop was used for:1. Render passes compositing2. Color corrections and contrasts3. Adding sky and smokes4. Chromatic Aberration effectPhotoshop是用于:
1。通过合成渲染
2。颜色校正和对比
3。添加天空和抽烟
4。色差的影响
