Alphabet to sketch(up)

[ntxdave]

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................

[majid]

Sounds great and makes the concept more readable.

[ntxdave]

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.

[ntxdave]

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.

[majid]

That is it,... You are discovering the form language and opportunities...

[ntxdave]

Thanks Majid. It is a learning process.

[ntxdave]

Been distracted for a while. Will try to get back to this soon.

[majid]

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.

[majid]

Thank you, as it has been a while since I did architectural jobs, I was somehow far from the goal of the forum. This month I could come back to the subject.

Thank you for sharing this insightful article! It provided me with a fresh perspective on the topic and expanded my understanding.More Writing Help By Myassignmenthelp

Just realized that one of the sketches of the book that is based on the letter "S" does not match the plan (2D design of the "S" letter). please accept my apology. and here is a render of it (the same wrong form)
