Another personal piece! One that I've wanted to do for some time now, especially after the OPB workshop, visiting Prague had a huge influence, but also Half-Life Alyx, and Dishonored ;)
I've built the scene combining different stuff: Quixel/Mixer textures, photo scans from Sketchfab, photos, and models I've made previously. Soldiery characters are CC3 and Marvelous.
Also posting some workflow stuff, and I MIGHT do a bunch of vids :)
btw. this dude sells a lot of cool scans https://sketchfab.com/miguelbandera :)

workflow tip #1 - link to the scan: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/palace-of-fine-arts-photogrammetry-aerial-5eb98df6ad204542af3054071e3c4883 also tweak the textures!
sketchfab asset used as a base for FG building, further away ones don't require that much work
