Outdoor background - Design and model part 3(city)

 

City overview:

I was planned to build the house models piece by piece and fill up the city with 5~10 variation of houses. But later I found a simpler way to generate a city. 

Which is to use the “Open street map” plugin in blender.

I used the landscape data of Shibuya from Japan to generate buildings. Then I split the buildings into different chunks according to their shapes and highways nearby.  At last, I rearranged and fitted different chunks onto my circular shape city just like solving a puzzle.
