Landscape Reference

Monaco

Hilly landscape with bright colour variations, in part due to the complexity of the builds contrasting with the stark greenery. Overcast skies create an even lighting tone.

Dubai

Flat, desert terrain is punctuated with a series of pointed skyscrapers, particularly the iconic Burj Khalifa. Excess use of artificial lighting contrasts the usual, intense sunshine created by the desert sun.

The Grid (TRON)

The digital world of TRON tries to personify the intricate workings of a computer system. Components of the city mirror their real-world counterparts, but with amplified digital overtones such as the use of neon lights and dark shades. There is no natural formation or any foliage.

The Ark (BRINK)

Created for the wealthy to avoid a plague, the Ark is an island purpose-built for comfort. Echoed in the light tones of the buildings and its own weather system that repels the cruel original weather of the planet. Artificially produced plants create oxygen, supplanted with the use of technology to ensure the existence of a unique biosphere for the Ark.

 

Container City (BRINK)

In contrast to the Ark lays the ruins of Container City, another island built by the less-fortunate. Purposed from wrecks and ruins of old technology, this city feels the full wrath of the damaged Earth's weather systems. No foliage or natural growth is seen.
