Exp 3: 36 Textures

I found the inverted versions quite interesting, so I thought I'd upload those as well:

They transcended their time; outstanding and passionate advocates of human rights. The need to protect and a prodigious capacity to bring about meaningful change allowed them to make a positive difference. With every effort, an impression of magnified ordinariness demonstrates the breadth of their commitment to their ideals. They aren't ruthless power players and have a keen insight into the necessity for certain alliances. To raise awareness and protect the environment is extraordinarily important and the great thing about having people recognize you is you can try to make a positive difference.

Exp 3: Sandbox2 Valley

Here is an image of Fortress Canyon in the Blue Mountains, Australia, which I tried to somewhat replicate in Sandbox2. I still haven't quite figured out how to create overhanging rock, and the australian red dirt/rock, but I've tried to get an idea of the shape of the land instead. It isn't a typical valley, but rather a canyon, and a slightly more loose interpretation.

This is an image of another canyon in the Blue Mountains, which further inspired my design in Sandbox2.


Here are some screenshots of my attempts:


There is obviously still a great deal of editing required.

Exp 2: Final Submission + FileFront link

This last 2 images show the 'ramp'-like landform which joins the two labs, the platform near the water and the block on the right hand side (the last image being the view of the water/landscape from the 'ramp'). The one on the right belongs to Charles Darwin and is sitting within the mountains, reflecting his work on evolution, fossils and wildlife. Stephen Hawking's lab, on the other hand, is more isolated, open to the sky, linking to his theories on cosmology and quantum gravity.

While the labs don't specifically reflect the quote, the overall structure shows the way in which it is not placed in an 'arbitrary manner' but rather wedged strategically within the landform.



Note: I had an issue importing the textures into Crysis, and as a result the colours showed up inverted. Therefore the final result wasn't quite what I intended.
