Textured Model for the bamboo support beams I will use frequently in my scene. The UVs and custom textures. The latter was created in Photoshop.

Note: I would end up not using the last selection of orthographs as the building associated with them was cut as I felt it spoiled the composition of my set in my final 16:9 concept art. 

Soft Selection used to create the hills seen in the aerial shot. Can be used to hide the edge of the model and for the more human perspective I presented in my final concept painting.

Domed structures as my hero buildings were based on Sheila Hicks' work, beehives, cocoons and birds' nests.

For the more recent thumbnails I examined bamboo structures and natural woven buildings such as birds nest.

Thumbnails I made in response to the feedback of my OGR. I examined more of Sheila Hick's work.
