Tomorrow Challenge entry by User-91541019

Somehow I almost missed the Tomorrow Challenge. I only started during the weekend and although I wasn’t sure if I can finish in time I thought it might be a good practice.

My intention was to show the building in a rainy scenery with strong contrasts and very believable concrete material. I chose a perspective which I thought would work and only modeled what was seen through the camera. Unfortunately when I started working on the materials, I found out that the overall atmosphere will get too dark and gray for my taste.

So I decided to go for my very first intention which was to show it in an autumn scene or rather a winter scene shortly before spring is about to come. I really like the combination of birches and ferns in autumn colors.

Having to show the best of this scene in a short period of time, i chose one side of the building to work on with its surrounding.

I imagened my building in a winter scene, after the rain when everything is still wet, and rain drops crawling on the wooden elevation and the glass. the building is located in a small village next to a park where you can find narrow streets with lot of dead leaves, and some benches where people can sit and look at the cityscape in the horizon.

I modeled my builing in 3dsmax and rendered in vray, photoshop for postporduction, plants and backround buildings from evermotion library. i have put lot of work on the materials to make them look wet and specialy the wood and the glass.

At first i wanted my shot to be in the blue hour scene, but i realised that it will loose lot of details in the dark, so i kept it as a night shot but with a warmer and brighter mood.

If i had the chance to redo the assignment, i would choose a snowy scene, when it starts to snow and not everything is covered with snow and you can still finds some places where you can see the ground and the dead leaves.
