Howard Hughes looking to redevelop Lakefront District in downtown Columbia, MD. Working with Design Collective and Howard Hughes Corp, F13 Design Studio was commissioned to create visuals for the redevelopment of the Lakefront District. It will contain office, restaurants, retail, and luxury living.

The image was created using SketchUp and 3DS Max for the modeling and texturing and Corona Renderer as the rendering engine. Post production was done in Adobe Photoshop.

There were definitely challenges to this project as the terrain was already complex and then the geometry on top of that. I was running out of RAM because the amount 3D entourage I was using to fill the scene, mainly trees, grass, bushes and flowers. They were also proxies throughout the scene. The people and cars were less of an issue.
