Thinking through distribution of themes & content. How big might an average block be? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303a28d1de5cb1378450bb3/1b57ca98-6efa-457c-8cb7-ae67ff418dd7/movie+start+house+04.PNG Games - Saints Row (2022) Helipad, rooftop driving range, and pool. The Pool area was intended as the combat space with a scenic view of the Spring. I started with the cliff face and waterfall then built the house and the road leading up it so that they would feel as well integrated as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303a28d1de5cb1378450bb3/36b0aee6-4095-40ab-bd3c-4d2a0eea0489/old+town+seed.PNG Games - Saints Row (2022) Next step is solving terrain and elevation. How does this district fit with the natural landscape? How might the people who live there build with the terrain and what kind of gradient can our tools support? I knew that I wanted split the district over a hill with the civic buildings being at the highest point. Blockout always feel better when building with terrain, rather than grid. This is very first scale test area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303a28d1de5cb1378450bb3/60d1f743-f0fb-4a55-9412-3b40b72c3a2c/Old+Town+01.PNG Games - Saints Row (2022) This the first test block built for the Old Town District, the Old Town city hall.

I make a Frankenstein scale map out of Satellite images & other ref sources. Using key reference city as my starting point. This method help maintain a realistic scale, and I have photo reference for anything that I need, from buildings to props, landscaping. I paint out anything I don't want and adapt as needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6303a28d1de5cb1378450bb3/9f3a4d92-cd30-4df7-a541-0f5a2893f507/Old+Town+02.PNG Games - Saints Row (2022) The city hall block for the Old Town District.
