Synopsis
This project looks at game environments that are based on or inspired by real-life places, and how these environments are researched and created for games. Modularity was a strong focus in this project as I aimed to imitate industry standard pipelines and techniques in creating an evocative Scottish-inspired scene. My goal was to develop my skills as an environment artist, creating a nicely composed scene within the constricts of games.
Motivation
As someone who grew up in Urban Scotland, I have noticed it is not a place I see shown often in games, despite Scotland's contributions to the gaming industry. This prompted me to look further into games that were inspired by real-life places and the creation process behind them, which then led me on to creating my own scene inspired by urban Scotland.
