Ancient Structures - Art tokenized on NFT Showroom

[julesquirin]

Ancient structures coming back to life. The signal has been sent.

This piece is available on NFT Showroom as part of my collection Myths & Legends, and comes with extra downloadable content on purchase.

Process:

I made a bunch of blocks and manipulated them around with the new extrude tool of Blender 2.9 to create interesting shapes, added a bunch of modifiers to it, and created a displacement map for all the columns and the building behind.

Then I decided to add rocks on the ground, bricks, debris, all of that, and create a sand texture with displacement for the ground.

Not satisfied, I added wireframe modifiers to everything with a second material, played with the displacement to create this "structure beneath the displacement" kind of effect on things.

I rendered it using Cycles at 20 samples using the AI Denoiser to create a brushy painty effect on the final render.

Bunch of composition done in GIMP to make the image more interesting, and voila!

Thanks for supporting art on whatever platform you are using, I think you're cool! (if that matters.)

NExt time I'v try using the Curtis Holt city scatter tool to distribute buildings! It's lighter than a particle system and very customisable!
Colours are beautiful here!
