      Quite the undertaking. After studying your images carefully, I hate to say it but the balcony appears too far forward. I've never seen a theatre with the front of the balcony so close to the stage; I'm afraid if you looked at it in a section drawing, you might have a problem with sight lines. Also, IMHO, your chandeliers appear dinky to the space, as seen in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pictures.
      Would be nice to see some views of the ceiling, as they are usually very decorative in such theatres.
      Look forward to seeing the finished product.

      My avatar is an anachronism.

        Hi Daniel,

        It's been a while since I've revisited this post and project, I've been toying with the idea of changing the interior of the theatre this last week, including moving the balcony further back.

        See images below.

          As well as a section to check sight lines, as Daniel suggests, I would position the camera as if you were sitting in various balcony seats. Your balcony viewpoints are positioned a long way above the seats and so do not reflect a realistic view for a member of the audience. Apart from that, a very interesting project. I immediately thought of the Theatre Royal in Windsor, UK although it is probably almost sixty years since I was in it!

            Dear Mr. Witthle,

            I am blown away by this stunning design of you! I love how detailed your model is, so I have a cheeky question about it.

            First of all, I am a (female) student spatial design at the University of the Arts in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Currently, I am in my second year and I just started my second semester of the year. I have an assignment and it is all about virtual reality.

            I have got the school's Oculus Quest 2 VR-glasses. Our assignment is to choose a building which we like in appearance or think is interesting to analyze. I have never been to a theatre like this, so I searched for theatres. Unfortunately, there are not that many good drawings in the SketchUp warehouse for me to download.

            I would like to walk around in a building like this with the Oculus Quest. Is it possible that I can use your model for my research? The only thing I need to do, is design something in this building that I would change or add to give the spectator the ultimate experience. You can think of it as an intervention.

            It is just for school and have no intentions to publish it elsewhere without your permission or giving credit/copyright. If you have any question, feel free to reach out to me by e-mail: minoukschippers@gmail.com

            I hope that you can help me and otherwise I would like to thank you in advance for the consideration!

            Kind regards,

            Minouk Schippers

                Greetings everyone,

                Occasionally, I enjoy revisiting my previous SketchUp models to explore ways of enhancing them. Over the past few weeks, I have been refining the design of a theatre for a set design project. I believe incorporating a realistic auditorium/theatre into the renders will provide a more authentic feel.

                Let me know your feedback... Specifically, the circle balcony has been reduced and sight lines have been corrected.

                Also, it's important to note that images may appear over or undersaturated depending on your device.

                The renders have been calibrated for my monitor and may appear lighter or darker for you.

                Also, please accept my sincere apologies for seemingly ignoring some of you. Life is far too hectic at times!
