Image of the Sublime

Week 3 Lecture Reflection

As a landscape architect it is very interesting to link the works of people like Capability Brown to the digital landscape. The idea of 'constructing' a landscape as being a kind of virtual unreality was very resonant.

Texture Applied to Island

Second Island

Custom Terrain Texture

The texture I developed was a sedimentary eroded rock texture with a reddish hue, suitable for the canyon-like landscape of my second island.

Week 02 Lecture Reflection

The idea of extreme realism in full cgi as shown in Alex Roman's work is very interesting to me personally. Within a decade its likely that this level of detail will be achievable for a much wider range of applications. I hope to be pushing this boundary in the field of landscape architecture.
