For the past 2 days, I have been modelling, texturing and lighting different skyscrapers in Maya for shots 2 and 3. I managed to model 4 skyscrapers.. They are: CPF building, Capitol Tower, OCBC centre and Singapore Land Tower. These skyscrapers would then be later blown up and explosions would be added. I started modelling using simple polygons, I then extruded them and duplicated them. I search the web for references. After modelling, I textured them using simple mental ray "X" materials. I then added presets such as glass, matte finish and glazed ceramic. For lighting, I used the panoramas I stitched as image based lighting (IBL) I rendered out 2 different passes, the "Master Beauty" pass and the "Ambient occlusion (AO)" pass. These passes were then brought to Nuke for compositing. I used simple merge nodes, added blur and color corrected them. I also tried grading and color correcting the overall background plate to try to merge the computer generated (CG) buildings.
