Here there are some updates about the composition and lighting. To set the views I’ve taken some photos of the actual project as references. I’ve been improving the given model and adding some assets (also modeling some of them). For the exterior views I’m using HDRI lighting and for the interior one I’m using Corona Sun and Sky. The vegetation is made with both Corona Scatter and ForestPack.
On this stage I was searching for general mood, found some angle of view that looked interesting for me. It turned out to be a hill near the library. Also i choosed night time with moonlight coming from back, providing some interesting shadows from trees. High point of view The architectural illumination and light from windows interracting and plays with fog should be a memorable feature. А high point of view allowed us to review the library architecture despite the fog that was lower. The library seems to be sailing from this perspective. I decided that this might well fit the task of the competition: to present the building in an extraordinary way and perspective.
This time I updated the materials and lightings with V-ray.
Before I started this round,I collected some inspiration images similar to my original idea,they can help me to set lightings,show a basice mood.
About the materials, I still referred Google street view.I tried to make most textures are same as realistic scene.
I think I can render the final size now,still have many things to do in post-production.
In the meantime,I will start the model work of interior view,will upload it next time.
For the interior, I wanted to show a couple of friends who are spending time at the library, I want to portray the moment they are leaving the library which will connect the story with the exterior view. This frame allows me to show the interior, the lobby and the exterior, which is consistent with the idea of showing this interior-exterior relationship. I’ve started to model some details and I have played with some textures and shaders.
And some minor post production adjustments in photoshop 😉
Here the raw renders, as you can see they need a lot of post, a lot!
