It was a very productive day. I’ve picked the images that I took in a park nearby and decided to analyse them for the shapes, colours and other aspects. I believe this would help me to create foliage in my own level.
The research provided some general understanding of how trees and bushes are made (the flow of the branches), and what shapes of leaves I can possibly get in my own level. Although those plants grow in the current times, the prehistoric nature doesn’t have to be as much different. Remember, the world that I want to create isn’t strictly prehistoric, so the nature could have evolved and become more recognisable as current one.
I’m planning to use the colour samples to enhance those in my own level and shapes of leaves helped me to better understand the differences between spices of bushes and trees. Now I should be able to combine that knowledge and use it in my own design to produce realistic foliage.
