WEEK 1 Gathering referance

With this project, I have been tasked with creating an asset pack for unreal engine that is inspired by Baldurs Gate, which is a popular role playing game set in the dungeons and dragons universe. Its very well known for its gothic and medieval architecture.

To get a better idea of the kind of designs I would be creating, I had a look at an artstation post from Martijn Peterson, who was the tileset creator for the castle in buldurs gate.

I also visited some recent places that feature stunning gothic and roman architecture recently to get some first hand references. Here are some pictures of a trip I took to Bath when visiting some family over Christmas time. The cathedral is an excellent example of using repeating seamless tiles to construct the majority of the building.

I also took a trip to Fountains abbey in north yorkshire, which features the stunning remains of a medieval monastery which was built in 1132. I really loved some of the ceiling and archway designs.
