As I have showed in my blog I am creating a Cave city, which i will model in maya. I am at the point where I have nearly finished painting most of it in photo shop, I just need to add the city.
Here is my cave city so far:
As you can see i need to outline the city and I need to sort out the lighting. The reason to why I am putting so much effort in to a piece that I will be making in to maya is because some of this layout will be used in my 3d layout. this saves me time and I need to make it as realistic as possible so it will go with my 3D models.
Inspiration for the buildings:
Since I am starting to draw the buildings I thought this would be a good opportunity to start to gather ideas together, as I am running low and I need more buildings to fill out this cave. I want it to look like people can live very happily in a cave. I don't wont it to look futuristic as I think it wouldn't suit the cave it self and i was looking for something different. I have a look on google and have a look at some old houses.
A lot of them are made of wood, they have balconies and are a solid structure. This would be great material to have my buildings made out of. I think wooden buildings would be great as it would give the sense of a new city on new ground almost like the wild west.
This would be a good thing to look in to. I am going to look at the different building designs they used in the wild west and add that to my cave city.
I also looked in too tree houses.
Looking at tree house can help me with how I am going to position my buildings. Tree houses are built around the tree and thats what i should keep in mind when drawing my houses in my environment.
In my next blog I will be showing my progress on my cave city
thanks for reading
