HA11 Task 1

Choose one of the following settings:

Medieval settlement

Space station

Underwater settlement

Remember that you are trying to generate thoroughly thought-through ideas for a 3D environment showing creativity and flair and working independently to professional expectations.

To conduct my research I first decided on the base of my environment.  I chose to create a post apocalyptic setting. Before I went on to create rough sketches, plans, ideas etc of my own city, I had searched for cities online. Top views of normal cities, maps, post apocalyptic sets and other broken down cities. 
I already had an idea in my mind as to how my environment will look like and how I want to model the street and the buildings so instead of searching something like 'city' I knew exactly what to look for. 

I searched ''City bock''

A bird eye view of a city. It is displayed as a map and in black and white it inspires and helps me to understand what to do when I go on to create my own layout of the environment. 

Although this does not directly help my work, I found it useful because it gave me the idea to create the whole city / environment and then proceed to making textures. 

The street style in this picture made me think about how it I could design a little city area. 

Going in further in the previous picture, this one relates to it and carries the idea on of a city and the things I could add. This picture in particular made me thinking about how I can go down to the road and add the light posts.
