A 3D artist shares their workflow for creating a melancholic night city environment in Blender, combining procedural cell-shading with hand-painted textures. The tutorial covers composition using rule of thirds, hard-surface modeling techniques, custom shader development using adaptive cell-shading with noise maps, lighting setup with emission shaders and volumetric fog, animation, and post-processing with Grease Pencil outlines and compositing nodes. The project took approximately 50 hours and emphasizes achieving a stylized look while maintaining realistic details.
