REGENERATING

A modern and organic regeneration of the Sydney urban textile that perfectly merges with the heritage existing volumes. A challenging competition entry we illustrated for Woods Bagot where the rejuvenation of the historical Surry Hills Shopping Village highlights the reinterpretation of the heritage shapes.

WTO

I remember coming across a post about this building on Peter Guthrie’s blog years ago, when I was just starting looking into CGI, and since then I wanted to recreate the architecture and the mood in CGI.
I’ve finally found some spare hours at night to recreate the atmosphere, tweaking some things here and there according to my taste.
The challenge was to re-create patiently everything in 3D, exteriors, interiors and environment, with just some few late night hours of work. Patience, perseverance and a good hardware setup made the trick.
Only disappointment is the crazy amount of noise generated by HDRIs and the extra render time needed to clean it.

The River House

The house model was based on the book Waterside Homes, edited by Konemann. The Tred Avon River House was created by the architect Robert M. Gurney. The porpouse of this film is for portfolio only, and may not represent the architect view.

All done with 3ds Max and rendered in Conrona.
The animated vegetation is almost all SpeedTree library and some custom made.
We have used a lot of Mega Scans 3d models, atlas and surfaces.
Some camera shots were done with Craft Animations.

The vegetation and debris scattering was done with Forest Pack Pro.

“The New Barn” – Full CG Showcase

Richard and where inspired by Dorte Mandrup´s “Barn” and needed a 3d showcase for potencial clients to show VR, AR and full CG rendering.
Richard created the architecture and we planed the shape of the landscape.
Than it was about one week of texturing, lighting, scattering, painting, populating and finetuning.
The final shots are rendered in 6k, about 8hrs of rendertime.

Farnsworth House – Full CG Showcase

Full CG – Showcase I made, after I saw the beautiful nature during a hike in Schweden.
The picture at the buttom shows the original foto I made for inspiration. I thought about, which architecture could be interesting in this setting and decided for “Mies van de Rohe´s” Farnsworth House.

For plans and Details of many architectual classics, see the Book: “Key buildings of the 20th century” incl. 3d Data.
