Create 2 A4 renders of a view of the rooftops of New York City for a new Mafia based film.  

The rooftop must look authentic and provide an interesting visual. Color palettes should be limited and controlled whilst camera angles should be realistic and achievable in real life. Using reference material is essential to create a realistic looking environment. 

• When creating the buildings consider creating modular kits that can be assembled. (Remember to UV Map/Texture before duplicating).

• Megascans and your own scans of objects are allowed. 

• Consider the final composition of the shot, overhead or Dutch Tilt. (ie. The Third and the Seventh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAFUYNVDl3k) 

• Avoid straight edges on buildings, it makes it look CG. Disrupt edges through cabling, air conditioning units, signage, masonry, anything to avoid straight edges. 

• Get research material: google images, google maps, modular 3d object reference, concept art, 3d model wireframes, games, films, TV.
