Arch Viz
After material testing and lighting testing a started to model several buildings.
To start with a tested simple building modifiers as well as experimented with clay and wire materials so I could show my works in progress.
I then modelled a house and tried an ambient occlusion render
I continued to model buildings..
.. and added the clay and wire materials I had learned as well as ambient occlusion:
I am currently setting up the materials and lighting for this project.
I am also starting to model another building
Work so far
My goal is to enter the CG Arch Viz industry, creating work which aids architects get designs and plans through the various stages of a building planning process.
Using Studio Max I have been doing a vast amount of modelling, material and lighting test renders.
I started out with the default Scanline renderer
I have progressed from working with the default Scanline renderer and onto Mental Ray and again did everal test renders of materials and lighting.
Since then I have purchased a VRay licence and working with that as my primary render.
I have continued working with tutorials and books to learn what I have and can’t wait to see what I will produce with the continuing months of learning.
HDR continued
After my 2 posts regarding HDR: Incorporating HDR and Incorporating HDR 2 I decided to go ahead and make some (or at least attempt to make some) HDR images of my own.
Using a tripod mounted Cannon D5 MKII, I started making some snaps of the design studio I work in.
Having used digital camera rarely it took me a while to get used to the setting to be able to change the ISO and aperture.
To create an HDR image first I needed to take a series of photos with different apertures so then I can composite them together.
One of the new features with in Photoshop CS5 is the mini Bridge which allows you to easily navigate to files on your computer. With the 3 images selected you can composite them to make an HDR image using the HDR Pro feature.
Once it has finished compositing you end up with a basic HDR image, the true power within HDR images though lies with the extra ordinary amount of possibilities with the techniques.
