Future Model Toronto retweeted
Inspired by @_StephenVelasco's models of future growth for Toronto, I was inspired to try something similar for Mississauga. Earlier this year, I started exploring how to make that happen. Over the past few months, I learned Blender from scratch and built most of the project myself, using downloaded models, including houses, alongside my own modelling, City data and project drawings.
