Part 2

Blender Tutorial : http://www.blenderguru.com/create-a-high-rise-building-pt-2/ In this tutorial you will learn: A clever trick to make outdoor lighting more realistic Ensure lighting passes through glass An easy glowing lighting setup

In this video you’ll discover how to create one of the most complex models there is; a high rise apartment block.

Because apartment blocks have multiple floors it’s easy to assume it would require a lot of work, but that really isn’t the case.

In this tutorial I will show you how to use arrays and mirrors in a way that will considerably cut down your modelling times.
