      Dave, I am so pleased to share what I know. This way I myself benefit by being criticised and rectified by others!

        About the inclined architecture we had a French one specialized in this! 😉

        Take a look at "La fonction Oblique" in Google image...

          Wow Pilou ❗ 👍 👍

          Majid, you should really enjoy this stuff. I did a search on Bing and there were some awesome images that really kind of fall into your thought pattern.

            Definitely a constructive corroboration!

            P.S:To give an explanation and make clarification of the inception of the book, let me draw your attention to Bruno Munary's classic book; Design As Art. I read it 3 decades ago but it is still one of the most inspiring books I have ever read.

              I found this book (Bruno Munari's book ) very inspiring. I am wondering if anybody else has read it.
              p.s. Maybe sharing some images makes sense:

                I am wondering if anyone has read this rather old yet inspiring book?

                  I am thinking about it but it's a way down the list at the moment, very busy with stuff.
                  It does look very interesting, insightful.

                    It is worth reading IMO. I found it inspiring and influential.
                    The good news is that the paperback version of my book is also available: https://lnkd.in/dGkuAFXW

                      Just looked at the pdf about your book again and I need to go off and play with all the letters some more. I have tried to be too precise which can put restrictions on the building designs. 👎

                      I am still trying to lear both Krita (for laptop) and Sketchbook for iPad to do my sketching. Hope to be able to post something soon. 😄

                          In order not to corrupt this thread, here is a link to a “learning/practicing” thread on the Twilight Render forum Learning Thread.

                            Here is my latest “sketch”. Yes, there are some some glitches.

                            I am working on modeling this in SketchUp (having some challenges).

                              It definitely is a big challenge, but your most recent sketch depicts a real progress IMO.

                                Well, here is my latest work. The letter Q was the "inspiration" for this sketch and render.

                                Q-Building-1.jpg

                                The windows did not turn out exactly as I had hoped. The reflection seem not to appear in all of them.

                                  Do you mind sharing more renders from different angels too?

                                    At some point, I will. However, some parts were only done for this view so I will have to finish the model. ☀

                                      Another practice sketch. Several things wrong that I can to do better before taking building into SketchUp but again learning more about sketching (using Sketchbook on my iPad for my sketches.

                                      “Practice” for letter S

                                      Hope you can see which letter of the alphabet is my inspiration. 😄

                                        Another nice start.
                                        Needless to declare that there is no obligation to stick to the initial form.
                                        I also have shared samples. In fact as it is believed in "lateral thinking" those sketches are to make us think out of box.

                                          I did do some new/multiple renders which I posted on this Twilight Render forum thread Alphabet Inspired Sketches.

                                          I am not happy with the results though. I tried to use the trial version of the Skatter plugin but still have a lot of things to learn so I can get tepee landscape and background better. When that happens I will post some new renders.

                                            I believe that there is a grass tutorial on Twilight forum (maybe by Fletch). It is viable in postpro. The result is realistic.
