city of london

I recorded this video when i was at London. What i really wanted to capture was the city in action. You can see in this video that train and boat are moving on opposite direction, which creates a very interesting perspective. And if we were to create such environment for our scene, this would be a great reference for animating assets and timing and placing buildings in perspective views.  

v&a research

  Theses picture are from my visit to V&A. I found Richard Galpin's work very abstract and fascinating. The reason i liked it because his work looked like a "city plan" from a bird eye view looking down on to a futuristic city. And the city full of abstract looking buildings which are been carefully placed. since we planing to build a city, we can use this image as a reference. 

These are Lustre tiles, from Iran, dating back to 1262. The reason I liked these tiles because of it's vivid shapes. I think these patters can create very abstract and futuristic buildings for the city we hope to build.

The information for Lustre Tiles.

these are some more intricate door patterns from India. I really like the way they are being placed, they create very interesting patterns. what really interest me the most were the outlines of these patterns, i think they will create fine abstract buildings.

When i saw this object it reminded me of "Millennium Dome", probably because of its  hexagon (oval) shape. I think it will make a fine Dome of it's on our virtual city

Theses some pictures on Coal Bunkers hang on the wall of Tate Modern. What really interest me is the structure of these buildings, they all have a very industrial look to it almost like gigantic machines. In someways i thing they are.

These are pictures of Pitheads, again a very industrial structure. if we were to model this we also can animate the assets on it. For example the spinning wheel at the top of Pithead would be the ideal asset to animate and we can have them placed on environment.
