Hey guys. Hope you like this WIP. Anyway I needed some tips or ideas as to how you want the city modeled. As of now the buildings are too human. The inner part of the city, Im modeling first and then the outskirts will have more primitive villages and great views of the natural environment the city is set in. Its supposed to be a post-war walking city that nest in peaceful areas.

I like the idea here. You said there is going to be outskirt buildings....are they going to be on the ground or on the platform?

Perhaps one way to get more alien deisgns is to think about gravity. Most of the fundamentals of human architecture are based on the limitations of Earth's gravity. Perhaps this planet has alot more gravity, so buildings are alot shorter and thicker. Or, if the gravity is very low, they would be free to create very tall, slender, and organically designed structures with alot less support. Also consider weather. If you look at Alpine architecture compared to Mediterranean architecture, you'll see vast differences just because of local weather conditions.

Hey thx. Im thinkin a low gravity environment would be nice so I'll go for taller buildings. About the outskirts, they will probably be on the ground but I could have them on the platform if the idea sounds more appealing. What do you think?

I think it'd be cool to have some small villages on the ground and maybe some small walking suburbs of the big walker. But, remember, this is your project, so do what you think would look good.

Ok cool. Im actually gonna start modeling the lower areas first and take a break off the big city. I like the notion of mini-walkers, so I might do that or model a nice walking droid that is good for combat or is a mixture inbetween robot and alien flesh. I got school tomorrow so I wont be able to do much but I'll post updates soon. Ttyl.

I just modeled a typical droid, like a guard or something.
