Week 3 – Environment Design

As I have mentioned previously, I decided to go with the stylised art style. my whole environment should reflect that as well as my theme of ‘new life’.

Structure Mood board

The images below are my secondary research for the stylised house I wish to model in the animation. The dog house be of a similar style.

House imagery collected.

This style of building is interesting. I like the middle bottom and bottom left designs especially. This is considering their lack of vertical lines for the structures main shape. Their designs are unorthodox and unrealistic, due to this, they have much character instead.

I especially like this image, as it has a lot of character. Even though it is a commercial building instead of a residential. I can take theoretical elements from this image, such as

Early thoughts about the house design through silhouettes.

Research about other stylised House Modelling

This is my favourite model. The design is beautiful and unique.

Like how you see skyscrapers from below. The top of the buildings look much smaller from ground level perspective.

Everything looks larger than it is. From a low angle and perspective from a young being, that is new to life and everything looks enormous from her perspective.

Designs

These designs have the previous ‘low ground perspective’ in mind, as well as the stylised theme in mind.

I designed the tree like this as I thought that a realistic tree with alpha map leaves would be to realistic to fit the stylised aesthetic theme.

Colouring

I plan to have a colour palette with many shades of one colour. At least this is what I wish to try out so far. When I am doing the colouring I will experiment further. I plan to add materials to certain objects in substance painter such as the wooden fence, but have my colour pallet selected instead of the pre-sets or anything natural.

This is the palette I wish to try out first.

This is an example of a similar technique, however this has more varied tones that compliment each layer. This image shows clear distinctions between foreground and background, while drawing attention to the places that should have the audiences eyes. This is a technique which I would like to try; using colour to focus the audiences eyes to specific objects.
