Inspired by the Streets of Tokyo and the Streets of Bulaq Dakror Where I Live, I Designed This as a TRANSITION Between Nowadays and Cyberpunk .
Although Arabic Is Not an Ideographic Language, Most Boards in the Project
Are Vertical to Save Space and to Give Those Tokyo Vibes .

Corrugated Steel Sheets Aren’t Changed .
The General Look Is the Same but With Some New Changes .

Because I Was Rendering in EEVEE I Had to Fake Emissions by Placing Light Objects in Front of Neon Signs and Lamps in Order to Make It Look as if There Is Global Illumination .

Although the Project Took Me About a Year on and Off, I Was Fortunate Enough
That Blender Made Some Important Updates Like the Seperate
Volumetrics Option For Each Light Object .
Also It Was Made Possible to Put One Collection Into the Other

More Extreme Long Shots (300mm)
The Neon Signs’ Flicker Was Made Using F-curves
Some Were Done Using Noise Effectors and Others Just Cyclic (F-modifiers), Each Sign Has It’s Uniqe Flicker, and the Effect Is Copied to the Light Facing It as I Mentioned Before I Had to Fake Emmisions in EEVEE Using Lights .
