Looking the essence between the architecture and the outside:
through the differents interest points, the sense og the scene is where the building and the exterior talking and playing about the design warmth.
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.
Here is my facade shader. After some bad results with procedural texturing I made it in photoshop. The problem was in mixing two materials, dry and wet corten steel.
This was a challenge but I really enjoyed it,
I downloaded the file first day of the New Year and took it for a spin, because of the surrounding I thought I would like to take a real picture of the building and that’s how I started to explore the view possibilities, I loved this angle and it was my first camera, after that I tried a bunch but non satisfied me like this so I decided to go with it. And that’s it I couldn’t work on it at all, until about four days ago when I decided that I will do something, watching some videos and looking at reference photos, I started with fixing the model and adding some stuff in the street and around the building.
This challenge was kind of easy , Choosing the view was quick, finding the mood and composition was fast, I didn’t want to do puddles of water and sunset and sunrise visualization because I thought many will do that and I love the sun any way. Didn’t want to do something too fancy as it was one of the things mentioned in the brief. But I wanted something different and that was red-pink-maroon. And there you have it, my sunny view and perspective of Tham & Videgård´s School of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
I was inspired by this color scheme and i wanted to bring some this colors into my image. I found species of plants which have the similar tones and can grow in the Swedish climate. Then I created them with growfx. Unfortunately I had’t found any scan leafs of this plants, that’s why I had to made them with images from the internet.
I don’t know why, my image haven’t been uploaded from the last post.
