Tight deadline [Update Page 2]

Macker

Thanks for the feedback guys. Yesterday had a "oh, can we produce a flythrough... and maybe a night shot... for tomorrow?"

I wont post the flythrough due to file size limitations, and it's pretty average. The night shot came together surprisingly quickly though;

Nice! Does your day have much more than 24 hours?

hah, I wish. Would also be nice to be able to clone myself sometimes too.

Super job, i like all the images. I am interested in the trees & grass any tips ?

Well whilst the building was modelled (very roughly & quickly) in sketchup, the landscape was done in 3ds max, though I did attempt to do it in Sketchup first it just felt like I was pulling teeth. The idea was to lay the 3ds max renders over some sketchup exports and possibly use fotosketcher to soften the feel of the images, but when the architect/directors saw the renders they decided against it.

Max does have the pen & ink function, but I just think for the amount of time you have to invest into getting decent results from it; you could've done it 10 times over in sketchup.

The trees and grass were from rendering.ru (itrees/igrass) and scattered with a max plugin called multiscatter which can handle millions of proxy objects - something that sketchup would struggle massively with. I suspect you could easily achieve the same with a render engine such as thea or maxwell.

I suppose it's all about playing to the softwares various strengths. Sketchup for speed design & modelling, max for high poly counts/playing god with renders.

Congratulations and thanks for posting!

Some cachet for SU, but having 3dsMax and skilz doesn't hurt.

Sorry... My bad...
Don't know where that came from...

Haha, I did wonder! Had to double check my profile info to see if it had somehow been put there lol

Here are some shots from the other project I spoke about. This was an even crazier deadline which resulted in a couple of us staying until 2-3am. It's only an outline design that has already changed quite a bit, but was to show "what could be done" with the space.
