Large Post-Apocalyptic/destroyed/ruined city/warzone?

Hellwolve

Are there any large-scale Post-Apocalyptic/destroyed/ruined cities or warzones on the market? I'm thinking in the way of Stonemason's Urban Sprawl 2/3, but ruined and fit for ye olde Post-Apocalyptic/warzone renders.

Maybe my Google-Fu is failing me, but I'm only coming across one or two buildings at a time; not exactly fit for the fly-over scene I've got in mind. I could pick up aforementioned Urban Sprawl products and replace buildings by hand, but I'd prefer a bit more... easy of use

Moved to Product Suggestions as it is not a Daz Studio question.

Stonemason has some Urban Ruins sets, which could be used to build a set (though not as big as Urban Sprawl). The DigiVault also has some sets, more SF than post-apocalyptic and E-Arkham has his Z-World series (zombie apocalypse).

Fair, I suppose. Felt it's more of a question than a suggestion, but I certainly wouldn't mind a product in this vein ;-)

Thanks for the tips :-) I'm not as well aqainted with those last two artists, so I'll look into them!

You will probably have to create your own out of parts from several products (kitbashing)

here are some ideas https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/ruined-city/104506/

https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/truforms-city-abandoned/142235/

https://www.renderosity.com/rr/mod/bcs/the-ruined-city/78950/

This is probably what you want, but I doubt you are willing to pay normal 3D market value for it https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-of-ruined-city-destroyed-buildings/1053015

Those are some fine products. Thanks for the links!

Sir, you wound me :-P But yeah, that's a bit excessive to me for this hobby ^^;

Kitbash3D have a variety of sets -- look at Aftermath and Warzone. They are fairly expensive at $200 each, but if you are able to wait they usually have 50%-off sales a couple of times a year (their mailing list is fairly low-traffic, so if you like the look of their stuff you could sign up for that to get notified about sales). The sets each contain a lot of buildings, but getting them into DAZ Studio (if that's your tool of choice) can be something of a process because they ship with all the elements in one file. I've found that the easiest way to deal with their products is to open them in Blender, then export the items I want in a format like OBJ for importing to Studio.

I always liked the Ruined City by Mr. Sparky/Vanishing Point that @FSMCDesigns linked to earlier. It's not highly-detailed, but it works well for a backdrop. Here's an old Carrara image I made that used it. If you do buy Ruined City, grab the hi-res maps and other add-ons for it from PoserDirect. And again, Vanishing Point has been coming up intermittently in Renderosity's half-price sales over the last few weeks, so if you can afford to watch and wait, you might get a bargain.

If you're a Vue user, you might look at some of the Shattered Worlds products by MRX3010. They're Vue ecosystems that you can use to create complete random cities, and while they were made for older versions of Vue, I think they should still work with the current version. I used Nuked and Ruined Suburbs in this image.

Hellwolve

I'd almost become a Vue user for those :-)

Think I'm going to be on the lookout for the items you mentioned; those really do look rather promising!

Vanishing Point's store at Renderosity is 50% off today, so if you did want the Ruined City set you could pick it up for $6.00. It is an older set and more suited for backgrounds than close-ups, but I think that's a decent price for what you get.

Ah, my chance! Thanks for the heads-up!

Nice product :-) Though a little bit less wartorn than I'm looking for, to be honest.

Here are a few that came to my mind. You may want to do some kitbashing and create your own scene using various parts:

Thanks for the links :-)

So far, I think I'll drop some money on an Urban Sprawl, clear it of regular buildings and place back broken ones and kitbash along the way.

Thank you. It does look quite desolate, well done.

Thanks :-) 'S not quite where I want it just yet, but, I'll see. I've got some ideas left ;-)

Looking good, that's the same way I worked out these two images,starting with Sprawl as the base and adding in the ruined buildings ...

Thanks for the compliment, ser :-) Hope to have some atmospherics going towards the end. Maybe toss in some Pyromantix. At any rate, it'll serve as a backdrop for these three mech carriers.

Thank you, it looks great. The red lighting gives it a vibe of danger and tension. Well done. 

Hellwolve

Thanks! The scene almost killed my PC, so I'm glad it's well received ;)

I think any other disccussion about this should be elsewhere, as this is hardly a product suggestion anymore ;-)
