Asset #1 Wooden Jungle Bridge

I have been wanting to make a wooden bridge for a while now so I thought this would be a good time to do it. I am still not entirely sure on how the entire environment scene is going to look or what assets I want to create to put into it but I sure do want to make an organic rope bridge leading up to it so this is where it starts :D 

Firstly I must gather as much visual references as I can to ensure that the bridge is correct. I will use a mixture of visual references from both real life and models made in Maya so that I can get a better understanding for how the bridge can be built up in 3D space.










 
Designing the Bridge Based on Visual Influence Research

I decided that, as I felt inspired by separate parts of most of the bridges included in my visual research, I needed to do my own quick concept so that I could push the design through to Maya. I did a very quit and basic values sketch in Photoshop in order to sketch out the ideas I had floating around in my head design wise.
