Description
Check out this revealing VFX Breakdown "Block 13" from the talented Nikita Glazkov - Nikita Glazkov presents a building created in a concept art–driven style. Using Google Gemini, he began by generating architectural concepts that served as the foundation for the modeling and texturing process.
After completing the building, Nikita explored how best to present it visually. While searching for inspiration, he discovered a reference image from Avatar, which is shown in the breakdown. This inspired the idea of placing the structure into a similar environment, leading to the creation of a full scene with carefully adjusted lighting to enhance the atmosphere.
To push the project further, Nikita expanded the concept into animation. He introduced drone elements flying around the structure, acting as small security units equipped with cameras to monitor the area. Additional research led to suitable references, which inspired a custom drone design.
With the concept defined, Nikita developed a blocking pass, refined the animation based on that structure, and completed the final render.
Team: Nikita Glazkov
Software Used: Blender; DaVinci Resolve
