WIP

I was in a part of town I don't often visit and noticed something I spent a couple of years on was actually under construction.
It's a teaching lab attached to an existing historic college administration building. I must have made at least a hundred different SU models (using v4 to v6) of it, almost exclusively as design studies...even to the point of modeling the framing and setting up a database using SU's outliner so I could track the member sizes. The client used someone else for presentation renderings: these "architectural visualization specialists" whined about my SU model, insisted that they had to build it anew in Max, and ultimately botched it. The greyscale image...a real last minute job...went on the construction set cover after the firm decided that the render house's image didn't reflect the design intent.
I left the firm at the beginning of bidding, so I don't really know how much of the design survived that process.

Pretty cool to see something you worked on being done, nice models as well.

congrats! nice renders, and it looks like construction is going per your images so far...

Lewis,
Congrats.Nice images and design.@unknownuser said:

Dont worry , You did so many variations on the building one of them is bound
to turn up.

At one point I made a small movie entirely in SU5 for this (with minimal editing in After Effects), which the client never saw. I still use it to demonstrate some of the limitations of SU as an animation producer.
This is half the normal res, and I've knocked down the fps to something like 10 so that it doesn't take forever to download (meaning that it seems a little jerky now).
Notice the weird shadows inside the trees near the end...I've never been able to figure that one out. They were partially transparent in hidden line (remember, there were no "Styles" then).

still looks nice. i like the way the building is emphasized and then blends into the surroundings. very nicely done.

Thanks. I had a minimal design roll in this...I just translated other peoples' ideas into models, and then checked out the implications versus the program and structural requirements. I won't know until they finish the entrance if either of the twoitems which I feel I had any real design input actually made it.
I did draft a great many of CD details and sheets, as well, but that's just CAD monkeyshines.
