Hi all, i have just developed a full city in Maya and i was just enquiring if anyone knew how i could make it look like the city has gone through an earthquake or something??
i was wondering is there an easier way or a plug-in to making a building look ruined than having too model it!!
if there is any way it would be grateful that you let me know!
Thanku

I don't know what you're model looks like, but maybe you could bring it or parts of it into Zbrush to achieve something like this:

with bump, disp. or normal mapping. Mind you, it's going to take a while either way. I'm not aware of a procedural solution. I'd also consider that, unless it's for a game level where you have to be able to run around every corner of your city, you'll most likely only need detail in specific areas and can fake the rest.
