Final Evaluation

For this project i had to make a town or street incorporating a specific theme in 3ds Max. At the start of the project we had a series of tutorials to do to get familiarised with the program. then we had to cone up with a theme for our street so i decided to go with a Viking/Nordic theme. I really liked the architecture with its triangle sloped roofs, the dragon heads that can be found on Viking longboats and many other details both big and small.

The production of the models involved me looking at images and using them as reference so that way i could make the building without major problems. i wasn't aiming for accuracy on the models because i wanted this to be my own work and not an exact copy. overall i am pleased with my buildings especially with the long house, which is the huge barn-like building, and the dragon heads mounted on the houses and the lamp posts.

I added some finishing touches such as fire for the torches in the dragon heads and some grass or turf for the ground so the houses weren't floating in mid-air. Overall i am very happy with my final design even though it has some rough edges but i really like how the houses have different decorations on them like the curved  half-moon like shape and the big "G". In conclusion i am pleased.
