Week 8 - Landscape Modelling (Ben)

Once i fixed the small contour issue, this week I modeled the immediate site within the landscape model. This included the footpaths, surrounding vegetation, sign-age, car parking and outdoor furniture. 

 Here there was an issue of open, unused space in the bottom right corner  of the image below:

After collaboration with Adam, it was decided to switch the location of the outdoor furniture and the sign-age so that the furniture severed as an outdoor space for the adjacent cafe. 

From this point I designed a decking system for this outdoor cafe area. This was a simple task, where I just had to create a new level and begin modelling.

While test rendering it was noted that the trees used above rendered without any colour. Therefore the tree types were modified as specified in co ordination with Adam.

In all this process proved to be efficient and smooth, as there was no real way that my landscape modelling could clash with anything significant, that it would effect other group members workflow. There was only one problem identified by Adam, purely due to human error. this was easily rectified and is covered in the Week 8 landscape problems encountered section.
