Environment architecture exercises

Progress of Castle study
Finished Castle study




Tone exercises

These exercises were done in the second environments session. I think I have always struggled with architecture, so the tone exercises helped me get an understanding of the basic shapes in architecture, and the study  looking at the castle allowed me to really focus on the details, including the different shaped bricks and the details on the castle walls.

Here is the current textures in maya. I still need to add the lighting but it is giving me a good idea of how the textures are working together. It's much clearer in this how the realistic textures arent working. I think I will also change the floor from wood to flagstones, as the scene is quite wood heavy at the moment.

In the end, I was able to get the hang on laying them out so they look good, but it was quite the process to get to that point.
