Continuing form lasts week’s work, I’ve added the old pavilion and set up UVs for both new and old buildings. Then I worked on the materials and maps for them and the pond’s soil and borders. I keep trying lighting and color to achieve the mood I want for the image. Now the main subjects are mostly placed, I’ll go on working with the landscape.
The main thought was to make the image more vibrance, I started all off with the analyzing the measurement of the structure, making a brief note about the environment, modeling the structure all the way in max it was a time consuming as always but indeed the way it goes really enjoys its, then i modeled a basic terrain, started up with the lighting the scene, modeling the trees using growfx, more over I really enjoy the most is the texturing and mainly the procedural way ha ha 😉 I have completed my major ascpects of the scene just working on small details to make the image and ready for the submission, good luck guys
I am posting a few reference I’ve got from pinterest and other website.. usually the client provide reference and what I do is support his idea with even more of them, but in this case, as it is up to me to decide where the archtiecture will be, is also up to me to find any good reference that can help me out with everything will be in the scene.. which means every detail, starting from the light, the color balance, the composition, etc.., and of course, all the piece of geometry I will have to model and texture to get them right into my image..
this could take quite a while, but at the end I believe is still better to get this things right since the beginning instead of wasting time doing something it will might not even good for my final image.
My workline consists of iterations. At first I roughly do everything necesssary for my view – materials, rough detailing, envirenment, some initial sketching. Then I improve details, materials and other aspects according to importance and I decide on what to leave for Postproduction stage. This saves me whole lot of time.. So now it is my second iteration.
We have the flexibility of adjusting environment, so after I decided on my composition and angle, I started to look for ways to shape the landscape to enhance my composition. I took reference from facade, it reminded me of train rails with its modularity and linear elements. I wanted to add a light surrealism to my work, so I came up with the idea of railway path leading to the entrance and people balancing on rails while going to museum.
What is done: I tried several techniques from scattering to displacement, I describe it in attached images. I enhanced facade material, added random dirt, tested its behavior and decided that I am happy with it. Also I made a draft with sketching, to check how people interact with the view, how to set them up. I added several casual details, such as roof mechanics, to add variations to silhouette.
Next is adjusting landscape plants, creaing trees, adding details to interior and final retouch for materials, lighting and camera angle, before rendering THE final image.
The boundless field symbolizes the history of mankind. On this field is growing as useful grain (bodily food) and the weeds and the thorns. Through this field is winding road, following which you can reach the “temple” of art. So I tried to show the continuity of spiritual and bodily food …
…I usually finish the model and key finishes on a model before starting work on the overall lighting and details. Here are some of the key finishes for the building. The ply materials will be am important one to get right.
