3D Enivronment

This was the project I was most excited about, it was my first time creating a scene like this and I really found it enjoyable. My scene is based of Lincoln, it is set when the Lincoln county war happened. You can see this is in my Photoshop drawing as it shows i was going to make the main house be on fire.

To create the above image I first made a very basic birds eye plan so I could see how the shot would look, it changed a lot from the initial plan and i think it looked better in the way i created it. For perspective I also created a very basic cube layout in Maya.

After creating my final drawing in Photoshop I then moved onto creating this in 3D. Over the next 7 weeks I continued to model and texture my environment . I worked on both modeling and texturing at the same time as i didn't want to do a load of texturing at the end as i would of found this very tedious and it probably would of demotivated me and slowed my work. Im happy with my final render. To achieve it i used UV mapping for all the buildings and barrels, I also projection mapped the floor and background. To create the trees and grass i used Mayas built in paint-fx.
