One of the buildings I created for this animation I did in Blender:
Just a lowpoly building. :)
THANKS! I think it was 1-2 months. I render it in image sequence(PNG), 2-6 shots per day. I used After Effects to combine all the passes and compositing though. Not Blender. I can't really render in Cycles(coz I'm so poor to upgrade my computer that crashes everytime I try to render 1 frame in Cycles) so everything was done in Blender Internal and was composited in AE. :)
P.S. That video was actually a parody or a recreation of one of the scenes of an anime. hehe. So the idea was not mine. :)
Great job on all the models - in the video it looks like a real town. I like the method you used to combat the big orange bear, LOL. How long did it take you to render the video?
