Alphabet to sketch(up)
-
As far as I know, a very important key factor in the design process is "developing".
Develop a simple idea and it turns out to be a master-piece, or leave it "unripe" and it will spoil even if it is a wonderful idea. -
Sorry mate, I cannot see that.

OK guys, here are some quick renders of the "X" building I have been/am working on. There are a bunch of things I am not happy with but thought I would at least let you know that I am still working on it. It might be a little while before I finish.
Having some issues with the model:
- Placing windows on the octagonal shaped buildings. As you can see, some of them I have not even gotten to yet.
- Need to redo the foliage.
- Not happy with the roofing.
- Thinking about making the passage between the buildings different (several ideas).
- Not happy with the background image but do not have a better one to use.
So, here are the quick renders:
-
I can see that there is a steady progress in your renders.
-
Thanks Majid. I use Skatter which places proxies in the SketchUp model. It also supports Twilight Render so the SU model is not bogged down and renders pretty quickly. I like the Skatter plugin.
-
OK, I downloaded some dae background files from the 3D Warehouse (Rockit3D dae files) and applied them to my model and then used Twilight Render to produce the following tests. I am liking these test reults. I think it will allow me to backoff with Skatter a little.
Here are the "quick" test renders and feedback is greatly appreciated even though some of my issues I outlined previously are still there, I think this will help me going forward.
Test renders:
-
Better results in the background. I think improving the construction details will help drastically. I.e. roof/wall connections, etc...
Finally, I am in the Netherlands. The construction details are new to me. I am trying to familiarize myself. This way I may contribute more... -

Thank you Bep for your kind welcome. I feel like Alice in Wonderland now!
I was out concentrating on the construction details for a few hours and let me say that it is fantastic... You have done a great job!
Unbelievably neat... I hope be lucky enough to meet you in person and talk to you, my wise friend! -
OK - I finally finished my "X" building (I had many problems along the way - especially with the render to achieve what I was after). Hope you enjoy. I used SketchUp (with some plugins), Twilight Render and Skatter. So here are my renders:
-
Kind of the "complete" picture................
-
Sounds great and makes the concept more readable.
-
Thanks Majid. I will keep in mind for future projects.
-
Usually, architects use different outline formats to represent the process and final design. It mainly is there to represent track of the concept and its development. It is not a linear process though, and there are back-and-forth steps and sometimes the final solution is far away from the starting point.
-
OK - here is a set of "ideas" for my next project, an F building. I am leaning toward Version 2 only with some additions. I am thinking about moving the two sections farther apart and adding a square building in between them. I am thinking about this being a hotel with a restaurant in between the hotels.
Any feedback appreciated.
-
That is it,... You are discovering the form language and opportunities...
-
Thanks Majid. It is a learning process.
-
Been distracted for a while. Will try to get back to this soon.
-
Hope to see more of you soon.
An unseen friend here bought me some spare time, I appreciate it.
That is why I had some time to develop this "B" form, from the sketches of the book.
-
Another neat one.
