Development

Here are some screenshots of the development of my scene. All elements are now added, it is only a matter of touching up and creating the camera fly through to explore the scene. 




I created the wooden arches and chains using a mixture of polygons and a chain generator that I found using python script. I took reference to the chains used in the How to train your Dragon Battle Arena- 




As for the Brazier, my original design had two miniature ones situated at the edge of the cliff face. I decided though after analysing more scenes from the film, that in wide open areas Berk often had just a large Brazier to light the area. I also felt it suited the cliff area better.





The rock I created holding inscriptions for the rules and code of conduct of the Training area. I loosely based it off the stone Hiccup writes on whilst teaching citizens of Berk about dragons-







The weapons rack allows the vikings to borrow the communal training equipment which consists of an ax  sword, shield, and bolas. I referenced viking weaponry from historical paintings and previous research as well as the weapons from the How to train your Dragon film.




This bridge leads the trainees from the landing cliff to the main training area. Originally I designed it not to have side poles and a rail, but after watching more scenes of How to train your Dragon realized most of their high bridges have them. It would be extremely unsafe otherwise.
