Minor Project: Environment Test

I have been trying to find ways to express the minimalist style and ways to translate it into 3D by either modelling in a minimal way or texturing only bits of the models. After experimenting with Maya and trying a quick transparency test on a simple plane, it seems to be the right technique for me. This will allow me to model the environment as a whole and then decide what will be shown through the texturing process.

Adaptation Part B: Textures test

These are some tests for my set, I wanted to go for a mix of painterly and realistic look, so I have been experimenting with the photographs I have taken and painting over them using the neutral colours.
I quite like how it turned out, however I ll be working on it more to keep it less patchy, more subtle!
