Norilsk

A scene inspired by photos of Norilsk, one of the coldest cities in the Arctic.
I built the scene with Houdini and rendered it with 3Delight.
Comp: Nuke.
Color grading: Photoshop.
Other software: Blender.

For materials, I used maps from Quixel, which were combined in Houdini to create complex materials for buildings and terrain.
