It includes towering skyscrapers, construction sites, hidden alleyways, and graffiti-lined streetscapes, and gives 3D artists and creators 322 modular models to use in their preferred 3D creation software -- Blender, Maya, Unreal, and more -- to create a realistic, vibrant metropolis.<\/p>\n<p>One of the artists putting this Kit to use is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artstation.com\/artist\/najeeb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Najeeb Najjar<\/a>, who also created the cover art for the Kit.
