At the very first stage I collected as much data as possible about the “Royal Institute of Technology “
in Stockholm, Sweden. i came to know that the main building is covered with Red corten steel material.

I’m Using Corona renderer for this project.
Firstly, i place some cameras in several directions for a nice view. Then started matching the scene with real images. Minor modeling corrections done, mainly the ROOF need to be created. I used “aTiles” for the roof, but the scene got heavy. So, I moved out to “Displacement Roof Surface” plugins. It’s a displacement based roofing tools which works very nicely if properly handled. The main building model also corrected in some way.

After all modeling features done, the lighting process started. I tried some of the famous Peter Guthrie’s HDRI map & found one that suits the environment.

I know that this doesn’t look like much but it is my main idea for this project.. Lights from the hole are going to be on the blue/teal/cold side, and the main building and the sky is going to be on the orange/warm side of the colormap.. Also i needed something to place in the center of my composition, something in the foreground that will catch the reflections and make it more interesting, so I decided to place a small shallow pool..

At the first look into the project i liked the oval hole in the ground from which you can see the main building, so I placed the camera inside and got something like this.. We are allowed to post one image, so I am going with this one cause it creates the most drama effect that will go along good with my orange and teal night look..

Orange and teal grading technique/style is all about creating color contrast, and teal and orange have the highest contrast between their exposure values of any pair of complementary colors on the color wheel. With this techique we’re adding depth. And it is most appealing style to the human eye. Together with the architecture of the building I imagine night scene with this one…
