Imagine what it would be like to create sprawling futuristic cities with roaring spacecrafts burning through the atmosphere. Many great directors have bought there own style to big screen with movies such as Blade Runner, they all have given a unique vision of tomorrow. In this tutorial we’re going to cover all the necessary steps required to create your own futuristic city with awesome sci-fi additions.

Photoshop has long been regarded as the tool of choice for 2D editing, but with Photoshop (the extended editions) you can incorporate 3D content. We’ll start off using DAZ Studio to import and export a complex 3D city model. Next we’ll show you how 3D content can coexist within 2D composites: you can roll, rotate and slide objects in 3D space, as well as having the flexibility of modifying their textures in reel-time. We’ll then build up the 2D background elements of the scene and add some extra details, such as atmospheric effects, by using Photoshop’s layers and blending modes.

Step 1

Create an account with DAZ 3D then download and install DAZ Studio. Download the free Dystopia City Blocks 011-020. Ensure you download both the Poser and MAT files, unzip and open their installers. It’s important that you install to this path.

• Applications > DAZStudio > Content

Step 2

Open up a new scene and go to Edit > Preferences and select the Directories tab. Ensure that ‘Program Files>DAZStudio>Content’ appears under the DAZ Studio Content Directory.

If you don’t actually have Poser installed, you will still need to have ‘Program Files>DAZStudio>Content’ included under the Poser Content Directory (which is indicated in red).

Step 3

To make your things easier to find, go to (View> Tabs > Content). Click the triangle icon In the upper-right corner of the tab (indicated in red) and change View Categories Quick Start to View Folders As Tree.

Navigate to the ‘Dystopia 6×6 11-20~ found under Content > Figures > Dystopia > City Blocks. Drag the icon into your workspace. The ‘readme’ file in the Dystopia download folder tells you where to access new content.
