The inspiration for this environment is that I used to work at the Salesforce Tower in San Francisco every day and the Salesforce Park next to the tower was very beautiful, like a zoo for plants! I used to joke with security about how the park would be the prime spot to hunker down for the zombie apocalypse.

At the moment I have blocked out where I want everything to be in this environment when it comes to the foliage, lighting and the landscape. I've so far made the cracked concrete in Substance Designer, click here for time-lapse of it: https://aebel.myportfolio.com/substance-designer-materials.
My next goals are to create dirt, and grass materials, as well as add some 3D models of the towers in the distance. For smaller details I'd like to 3D model the benches and railing in the park, as can be seen in my inspiration collage.
