Transcription: Some More Concepts

Here are the last of my main building concepts, I still need to add texture and colour to them. But I thought that I would post up the how far they have come so far. After taking Alan's advice the structures are starting to become more interesting and hopefully it is more easier to tell what they are when you are looking at them.

Here are additional building silhouettes that I could use to fill up my environment when it comes to putting everything together.

I took Alan suggestion to push the design even further by thinking about the buildings purpose and design that theme into the structure of the building in a small way. I think that going back and doing this will develop my designs and make them a little more unique.

Transcription: Start of Building Concepts

I decided for each building I will design a concept that would show how the building would look in terms of structure, pattern and colour. As this will allow for me to understand what I am building when it comes to creating this environment in 3D but also this will allow an audience to tell the difference between different buildings. Here is my first concept for the Hotel, it took longer to create but know I have got the hang of this method, hopefully the next concepts will be produce quicker. 

So onwards and upwards ....
