More photos from London, we were thinking of including an train bridge within the environment, so looking at what possible detail we could place on to the archs. I think these might be able to help us with the shadows and light of our scene.

Adventures to London

Our adventure to London was good we were able to get several good photos of different things that might want to include into our environment. I took these photos in case we wanted a big iron gate to go in front of factory or workhouse which could work as the design is not to complicated to replicate in Maya.


More images that relate to the others below:



These are a couple more photos I discovered looking more at the factory and workplace areas within the Victoria times. More or less more reference for windows, doors and roofs. Also possible positioning of buildings and how the connect to each other.

I found these photos while looking for references of Victorian back-alleys and slums. I think these are good examples of how cramped and make-shift the housing was during the time. With massive influx of the people moving into the London during the 1800, the population increased from a one million to just over six million within an century.

From these photos I can see several elements which I could use for our environment. The different shape and styles of windows give the buildings there own uniqueness. I think the top image would help with the development of the roofs, as its looks like its been pieced together like a jigsaw.


This is selection of photos of back-alleys and shop fronts, I have chosen these because there are several different elements which I can pick out and possibly use like the chimney stacks, the wooden fencing and the type of window.














These are a couple of shop/pub fronts which we could possibly use with are environment, as pubs were very popular in the Victorian ages.
