Statement of intent

For my final outcome I will be creating 10 textures for 3d street project. It will require textures of different types of buildings and surfaces. My street will have two different types of buildings, one side will have third world type buildings and the other will have business area type buildings. For 3 world building textures I did some research using google maps

 will try to achieve a bit run down textures for example dirty walls broken window or muddy grass. For the business area I also did some research


and will be using textures that have bright colours for example marble texture and and bluish windows for skyscrapers.
I will be using PhotoShop to create these textures and a range of techniques that I learned during this course.

Texture research by taking photos.

I decided to create a street with as much contrast as posible which meants that iam going to create a street in two different styles, poor neighborhood and a rich or busines area.



Mood Board

Research on textures used in video games and art and design
I found some images of 3d houses made in similar style that I want to create my 3rd world side of street in.


 After researching on games that have maps with houses in poor shape I selected a game called half life 2.
What I liked about this game's house textures was that they make houses look abandoned and like they slowly falling apart but it isn't done over the top.
And this is the second game I researched called Call of Duty 1. It has similar textures as half life 2 but houses look more worn down and destroyed. 
I liked brick and debris textures in this game even though all the textures in the game were too grey.

Here is an example of grass texture from the same game which isn't looking too good.




Texture creation

Wood textures


Grass textures



Rooftop texture 
I created this texture by using a reference image from which I got the outline of roofs pattern and then just drew the rest of shades and shadows.

Road texture


Pavement textures


Rock texture

Brick wall texture


Most of these textures are final designs for texture library.
