After the concept stage I have focused on creation of the main materials in the scene. The biggest focus went into the wet ground which is suppose to add more drama to the scene and the rusty panels. My main goal is to keep it natural and realistic.
The main idea of my concept is to show both exterior and interior all together to emphasize the building as school of architecture. The atrium seeing the workshop seems to be a good spot for my purpose and with the initial outlines in my mind as sketched, I decided to land my camera there to grab a start point. I plan to reposition the camera angle in the idea of this perspective after coping with the materials&lighting and developing a deeper sight about the building to reveal out the story in the view and in my mind.
The lighting idea is to have partial sunlight on the facade and to leave some other areas in shadow to create contrast. I am also thinking of enhancing the feeling of the daylight on some parts of the building that mostly I desire glazing. However I will keep this idea developed till the end of material&lighting works.
Good luck to everyone!
I’ve started the post production phase of my image by choosing the right people and their position to best fit the composition. By looking at reference images and videos I’ve found that the street right in front of the main entrance is quite busy, with a lot of people coming and going, this is the idea that I want to give, a normal day with people going about their lives. They’re not the main focus of the image, they’re there to show the urban life around it, rich and dynamic.
after photographing the various subjects I started to insert them in the image. The greatest challenge is to fit togheder lights, shadows and color. I think I’m at a good point, I have to do the color grading and then the image is over.
you can imagine every single thing about being on an environment but sometimes feeling the exact place reach you to naturality
The shader I managed to do allows, once given a mapping of 100x100x100 cm to all the models on scene and associated the material to these, to have a pencil-like rendering that responds to the light and direction of the object.
three toon shader marks the outline of objects.
