We used Photoshop to visualise our concept idea and to make sure that our initial idea and overall mood match the chosen composition.
In a next step, we applied different HDRI’s to the 3d model to compare the evening light moods and narrow down our choices. Finally, we chose a cloudy sky with warm sunlight that will be paired with a Corona sun in order to get a soft ambient light combined with direct sun rays.
The inspiration came from the Swedish city planning strategies in which the public open spaces are equally important as the built environment, and moreover, the most important component are the users – people, making the build spaces go alive. Also some elements that I have found interesting are the old brick buildings embraced in vegetation, and a lot of interesting degraded elements that will be a nice challenge for texturing. The idea is to create a vibrant sunny atmosphere, showing the life going, showing how the school is communicating with the context, and how people are enriching this connection. The building embraced with vegetation was also interesting for this representation.
Lightning and materials are done .
Now I intend to switch to atmospheere of the image .
I started by garbing some photo i like, i want the mood to be wet, a bit of water everywhere.
Been tweaking the lighting for both natural and artificial light. I feel a little happy with this result so far maybe will get back to it later.
Now time to fix some materials and add a few props.
Main idea about the facade is to make reflective glass in order to will show all the environment which has traditional buildings with bricks and some vegetation on the walls. Also i wanna explore photographic effects like motion blur with people which i will add in post-production.
