RWBY 6 - Argus City Support

Weston T Jones and Urban McLafferty really made my support job easy on this one. Weston designed a great kit break down for the city and Urban focused on all of the architectural heavy lifting. I focused on set dressing and help with randomization and optimization of the city. I implemented the Redshift Userdatacolor node overrides for all building parts to help with color variety. I also used Urban's kit to randomize some of my own buildings and then implemented them in the set utilizing Redshift proxies.

I ended up going overkill on unifying the street model and unwrap for this area for some snow blending.
