In response to this week’s theme of location and place, I created a 3D model of a destroyed building in Maya. By creating an abandoned-destroyed building, I tried to convey that one image or one place/location can embody an entire story. Through this model of the building, one can imagine what the building might have gone through when this disaster occurred? where were the people that lived in the building when this happened? What caused such destruction?
Similar work has been produced by Igor Golyuk, who is a 3D Digital Artist and Matte Painter, in his ‘Destroyed Buildings in Stalingrad’ art station page (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4dz62). He has dealt with the theme of location telling a story by modeling buildings that were destroyed in a war in Stalingrad, Russia (now known as Volgograd, Russia) for a movie.
