> [!NOTE] Landscapes > a series that explores the fusion of elevation data from various locations on planet Earth, incorporating elements of design and composition. This research and development journey began while I was designing landscapes for the game Fragments Many of these concepts have since found their place within Fragments [[Fragments The Game]]. 1m 6s read ## Maps (case study) #art #casestudies #creative #research #development #lidar #fragments ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (2) 1.png]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (3).png]] ![[affbb61f-1dc9-44ff-bb55-39f9ffd85243_rw_1200.png]] The images below provide a glimpse into how landscape studies were seamlessly integrated into game levels in Fragments. These real-time screen captures showcase the immersive environments players encounter during gameplay, highlighting the successful implementation of landscape designs into the game world. ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (5).png]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (8).png]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (10).png]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (6).png]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (7).png]] Initial Studies ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (2).jpg]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (3).jpg]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (4).jpg]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (1).jpg]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (5) 1.jpg]] in-game graphics ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (1).png]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (11).png]] ![[Landscapes_of_Fragments_EmrahGonulkirmaz (12).png]] ### Arid Worlds Crafted through manipulation of raw Lidar data.  Unique in their procedural nature and complexity, these designs mark the genesis of the landscapes in Fragments the game With a focus on creating otherworldly environments part of the [[Fragments The Game]], the landscapes are characterized by an arid, abandoned aesthetic, evoking a sense of being lost in the vast expanse of the universe. ![[6519bf5a-5188-4dfd-a8d5-44165a632e5b.jpg]] ![[b668a06b-c531-4ad0-be0d-ec78bb0d1c60_rw_1920.jpg]] in-game graphics from Fragments ![[e6081d3e-d721-4904-b029-cf01bbf68dd1_rw_1920.png]] ![[6e2f00ac-b4ea-49b3-8832-43c8e51a74f3_rw_1920.png]] ![[c1316f85-dbdb-4077-86ab-069764ecedc5_rw_1200.jpg]] ![[ff220fbd-41fc-43b4-8c7c-2239e83df50d_rw_1920.png]]
