Tomorrow Challenge 2018 entry by User-28124750

As an Architecture student, I wanted to depict the first lights of the day that every morning we see when we go to university. I’ve to say that in the first lights test I wanted to work with dusk and with stronger lights and shadows, but at the end, I decided to use another color palette that I think is more pleasant with site colors and the beautiful architecture of Tham and Videgard. The image wants to speak about student that every day work on projects together, they talk and share their personal and professional experiences, so in that image no one is alone.
Working on this project was really stimulant for me because I tried to push my skills to show the best that I can. Now I think is time to speak about workflow, I worked with Cinema 4D and Vray for the render, and with Photoshop for post and color grade. My work started with a cleaning and detailing phase where I decided to add some stuff to the model, I worked a lot on the panels because is one of the key elements of the project, I think that they determine the relationship with the surrounding site. After that, I worked on composition and shaders. The hardest part was to have a strong 3d work because wanted to try a combo of shaders with the Vray Blend material that I used for Corten facade and Cobblestone. I’m quite happy with the result, I think Ii have grown up a lot working on that competition!
As always i do i wanted to put a figure on the foreground that is related with the architecture that i’m visualizing, i think that she closes the perspective on the architecture.
Another important thing that I’ve to underline about that visualization is that I changed my mood and color working on the final image, I think that is not a bad point, just a good way to be self-critical.
In the end i’ve to say thank you to Ronenbekerman (That competition allows me to show for the first time my work) and Tomorrow for the great chance!

I hope u like my work, thank u.

This update wants to speak about strategy. After some hours spent working on mood, colors, shaders and details, i can take some decisions on the workflow for the next part (what else in 3d, what in ps, multi-pass, etc). I understand that a big part of the work will be in photoshop but I’ve got a lot of time to test some new techniques.
Talking about the image I decided to show something that I think is very important for an architecture school, this is why I’d like to underline life inside the school at a certain time, and on the other hand, life outside the building with students who are going back home or having fun after an hard day.

After some hours spent looking at the bulding and at the building site i decided to work on the model and on lightning to define the mood of the work. My point of view is that i’ve a great building in a nice historical context and this is why i wanted to work as possible as i can on a realistic image according to the real materials.
As i said to define the mood i worked on lightning, in this case a combo of vray sun and a low sun hdri, i decided to use this combo because i wanted to underline the primary material, the corten facade, that have a significant role in this project because i think that it has to dialogue with the surrounding buildings.
