Lot 351 (Night Shot)

[swedishnitro]

Well, this is my first night time render. I've tried doing them just in Photoshop in the past, but the lighting is never right. I spent some time trying to figure out the best way to light the image in Kerkythea and finally figured it out after watching a tutorial on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex1qhpX3NWU.

Everything else is Photoshop. I've sourced various family members and generic Filipino guys as the project is located in the Philippines.

About the project:

A corner lot in a working class area of Manila in the Philippines is designed to increase social and economic intensity by placing 3 separate businesses in an incredibly tight floor footprint with private residential above. Filipino building laws have been exploited to maximise use of floor space by blurring the inside and outside together. To allow maximum ventilation and light, a chainlink facade wraps around the entire building profile, allowing fabric banner advertising to substantially increase economic revenue whilst acting a a sunscreen. The chainklink has the added advantage of acting as a buffer to flying debris in the Philippines' annual cyclone season.

Cheers!
