William H. Prescott describes the Tenochtitlan huts as being like Mayan huts. When I searched for Mayan huts, I found mainly rectangular huts, and also some that were partially rounded. I modeled the rectangular and loaded two huts, facing two different directions into the ecosystem. It worked pretty well since the huts are in sections of arable land and not locked into an inflexible grid of streets and yards.
The next major step is to model the buildings of significance, but I spent some time placing Tenochtitlan into a terrain map of Mexico combined with a recreation of Lake Texcoco. I still need to create the roads through the water, tweak the landscape materials and find the best atmosphere settings and scale but I’ll leave that for later.
