Hi! Last year i was taking pictures around my city to create a library of textures and model 3D props to create urban scenes.For the buildings i used images from textures.com as they had references of low income and populated buildings and that’s more or less the idea i wanted to achieve.
That first image is so convincing, it looks like a real place. Making something convincing like that is more than just modelling and texture, it also requires some proper environment design and composition.
