Got it, thanks Piotr! Thanks guys!
I'm not sure I fully understand the brief actually... I mean it's a little confusing, given that it talks about finding a pattern, which makes me think of a wallpaper, or like those background patterns on websites, basically a tile (usually square) that repeats itself on both axes.
And then it says "Create an alien landscape and architecture out of this shape". So like taking this tile (without actually repeating it) and using it as a base shape for the landscape? Because it says "out of this shape" but I'm pretty sure it's meant like "using this shape"
So I'm thinking that this pattern should give a sort of mood to this landscape, like a signature. And this could also be a triangle, or a square. Right? Like a chess board. Of course adding variation to this, like in some places there's a circle, in other places there are triangles, but the dominant is square.
So I'll try to create something that's pretty much a lot of hard surfaces, based on squares.
It's pretty much a challenge, since all the alien-ish looking structures are pretty organic. Maybe because humans tend to build boxy structures, and everything that's not boxy, looks alien.
To do that, I'll just start by taking existing "normal" structures, and pushing them to a different level. I'm not yet sure how.
