Are the realistic urban backgrounds in Japanese animation and games drawn? If so, how are they drawn?

The realistic urban background in Japanese animation and games is usually drawn by digital painting technology. Digital painting is a kind of painting technology using computer software, which can simulate the strokes and textures of traditional painting and make painting more realistic.

The following are the general steps to draw a real city background:

1. Design concept: First, we need to design the concept of the city, including the buildings, streets, transportation and other aspects of the city.

2. Build the scene: use the 3D modeling software in the computer to build the model of the urban scene, including buildings, roads, trees and other elements.

3. Texture mapping: Use digital painting software to draw texture maps for each object in the scene, and these maps will be attached to the corresponding model according to the shape of the object.

4. Adjust the light and shadow: according to the needs of the scene, adjust the light and shadow effect to make the city look more realistic.

5. Add details: Add some details, such as vehicles, pedestrians and signboards. To make the scene more vivid.

6. Render the picture: Finally, use the rendering software to render the picture, and combine all the elements to generate the final picture.

With the continuous development of digital painting technology and three-dimensional modeling technology, it is easier and more efficient to draw realistic urban background. At the same time, these technologies also make animation and game works more realistic and attractive.
