Water Stadium with Sinking Ship modelled in Sketchup
-
Hi!
I have modelled this stadium in Sketchup.
What do you guys think?
It took me quite some time.
All the images can be found here: http://www.astopia.eu/a-real-spectacle/

Ziet er goed uit. ("Looks good.")
-
I think the modelling and idea is very good.
The first image though, I feel, is a bit boring.
No dramatic lighting, no dramatic compostion.
What is the "story" you want to tell?
Is that told in the most effective way?I don't mean to sound harsh. Just some ideas how to improve.
...and I could be totally wrong. -
How this poor boat can go the sea?
Cool modeling!
-
Very nice!
-
An interesting composition but, as has been mentioned it has no atmosphere or depth to it. How did the ship get there for instance?
Fill in the blanks and this will rock.
-
great modeling job
agree with the others that you need to figure out "a story to tell" -
WOW!! Mate that second image is STUNNING! I'm in love with it!
-
Thanks everyone for the compliments!

I think if I would do this project again I would do it differently and think more about how I could tell the story in an interesting, probably more dramatic way.This is what I was thinking of when I created the concept:
All kinds of changes are happening in our world today:
molecular nanotechnology is rapidly evolving, our climate is drifting
and artificial intelligence might take over the world.Most people feel small and powerless facing all these big changes.
Do we have any influence or are we just spectators who sit and watch?I created the concept of a sinking cruise ship as
a metaphor for our society as a whole.

This last black and white image is Fantastic !

I think if you want to enhance the "story" that most people feel small and powerless, I would simply add a small silhouette of a person against the ominous sinking ship. That little add in composition will allow people to draw that connection and relate to it. It's such a simple and effective strategy, look at how the CG artist "beeple" has done this.
Otherwise, great job overall on the images you've produced

True parabola!
-
Great project, "surrealism" or just because you can? The black and white images are particularly gob smackingly STUNNING!!
-
I get the background now, the black and white image is right up there for render/image of the year.
There is a program out there documenting how some of the landmarks of today would look in a future without people to maintain them. One of the studies is an Iowa class battleship and it it quite something to watch. A lot to think about. Thanks for posting this. -
Top notch!

Thanks Steve!
Yes, I think that could indeed be interesting. I considered it, but I think I didn't want to make it too clear. But I think you are right, it would put everything into scale very quickly.@mike amos said:
