I like to start modelling only when I fully understand the building. Without the correct understanding, it’s likely you would need to remodel some details a couple of times. When you don’t have any information apart from jpeg’s – tracing plans and sections in Cad helps to get that knowledge. Halfway through tracing I had that “wrong feeling” when I got a bit carried away and started drawing the wooden panels on elevations/sections. I was right – I ended up not using wooden panel reference lines at all. Sections of the panel detail and photographs gave me more than enough info on the detailing and measurement. Modelling itself was quite straightforward. As I have more or less decided with camera angle I would like to use, I didn’t have to spend extra time modelling the back of the building and its old extension. That way I’m allowing myself enough time to focus more on getting artistic elements right (which I enjoy most)
The only difficulty for me, which at the end turned out to be quite a simple resolution is modelling planks. For that, I used floor generator and simple rotation and Voila!
I have also quickly mapped out where the path and ground geometry should be, imported the model of Kalmar castle and outlined the direction of the sun.

I will update you on the light studies tomorrow.

First of all I would like to thank both Ronen Bekerman and Tomorrow team for creating such an oportunity for us beginners in this art of Rendering.

I was very excited from the first minute I read the contest as Tham and Vidergård are one of my favourite architects of the moment and one of the reasons I tryed to study abroad in Sweden; the Treehotel is absolutely amazing!
This makes it the perfect project for me to evolve my CG techniques and learn new methods and solutions.

While I was reading the page of the Challenge I imediatly had an image on my mind. It came as soon as I saw that there was a lake in front of the Museum. It was also imediate that some reference images came to mind both for the inicial idea as for a color and light mood. Some of this renders are well know by you because they are part of the Ronen Bekerman Blog, others I had in my favourites list.

The main idea is to create a evening/night environment with some warm interior lightning, some trees as background, trying to recreate a realistic scenario and all of this reflected in the water of the lake. For this I know I don’t need to spend so much time on small details of the building because they will be to small to see and should focus more on the environment and the quality of the water surface and its reflections. Let’s get to work!

The overall model is almost done, and I need to start working in the environment. I think this camera angle will be the final position of the shots.
As for the mood the goal is to achieve a cozy summer morning in a well kept landscape. I’ll try to apply a hazy mood, which it gives the impression of a nice warm day.

The main concept is to present a building through the contrast between minimalist artificial structure and rich north nature.That’s why the building is pushed towards the sea line,that is also modified to look more like fjords.This will give nice reflections in the water and interesting foreground elements. The mood is early, cloudy, evening with bright lights coming from the windows.
