Titanium curved facade
-
First of all, I didn't know where I could place this topic the best. So if I'm at the wrong place correct me and I will move it.
The problem I got is that I want a titanium facade like the Guggenheim museum in Bilbao.
I found a tutorial how to achieve the facade with a texture:

Sounds tricky, you could make the perimeter of the paneled areas and then create mesh from contours in the sandbox tools. Alternatively you could try a plugin called windowizer it might help. You have the textures from the tutorial you quoted so you can project them onto your mesh surface.

**Chedda, thanks for your advice. But I didn't render the model in sketchup, there wasn't enough time.
So I just took a simple front and side view of the building and photoshopped the titanium facade.I thought it would be nice to show you a bit of this project I finished last week, so here are a view slides..**

looks like it was a lot of work...cool stuff!
-
Once you have the mesh created, you can use the Tools on Surface plugin and the Joint Push Pull plugin, but it would take a bit of time...
-
what style did you use for your details? (4th and 5th picture specifically!)
-
Looks very nice, from a distance...
How about some larger detail images so we can see if it leaks?
Nevermind, that is definitely not the point, at this point.

Yes indeed, it was a lot of work. It took a whole school semester of 10 weeks.
The details in the 4th and 5th picture are sketches made by hand. And I gave them a color in Photoshop.
The 3d details below these sketches are rendered in Vray. The materials are named in indesign.Here is a simple interior render I made this morning for a presentation tomorrow. I ain't 100% satisfied with it, but the purpose of this render is to show how the steelwork was formed and to understand the details better.
