The Deep Realm Cappadocia

Hello everyone! For the challange, I am getting inspiration from Cappadocia. Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, Turkey.

History of Cappadocia

Cappadocia is a place where nature and history integrates. While geographical events created fairy chimneys – the people carved houses and churches inside these chimneys. Later on decorated them with frescoes in this historical process, bringing the traces of civilizations for thousands of years to present. Human settlement at the Cappadocia region dates back to the Paleolithic era. The lands where the Hittites once lived have been one of the most important centers of Christianity in the later periods. Houses and churches carved into the caves and rocks turned the region into a huge heaven for Christians escaping from the dominance of the Roman Empire. Hosting trade colonies throughout history and founding commercial and social bridges between countries, Cappadocia was one of the important junctions of the Silk Road.

Ideas, Inspirations, References

I am really into underground cities which is very rich as historical and also natural shapes in Cappadocia. Underground cities from Cappadocia inspired to me create a city in a cave where there are huge openings. My first imagination for this city is in Assassin’s Creed Revelation-Cappadocia level. There are some inspiration images from Assassin’s Creed Revelation Concept Art below.

There will be a lot of details on this city so i collected some references:

I am planning to create my city on Unreal Engine 5. While i am building my city, i am thinking to use some assets from Cosmos. And i am also thinking to model my own objects on Blender. As a beginner for Unreal Engine and Blender, i will try to do my best for this challange. I am wondering how this progress will be and i am excited to see my work. Good luck for everyone and dont forget to check my work time to time, i am open to feedbacks! #learteschallenge #leartesstudios
