Started with some concept design - drawing & photobash

NEW SCIFI PROJECT - Film Sequence

This is the first scene I chose to create a shot environment.

I created a rough layout and set up the camera in MAYA.

Then, generated foreground and background terrain, and scattered vegetation and rocks (megascans) in Houdini.

The city was layered with the sci-fi buildings generated by the sci-fi structure generator that I’ve created.

Bigger structures, platforms are constructed by my scifi kitbash and other objects I’ve made for previous projects.

This is the next scene I want to work on. With the camera set up like this —————>

Created a mood board for the direction I would like to go with my concept. To build into a polished environment shot.

This is my current stage - camera, layout & scatter

The concept design has a very big and wide perspective needing larger environment, terrain. It’s very heavy and my computer can’t hold. Even currently the scene is very slow, would I be able to get some tips to optimise my environment?
