I watched a show on HGTV called Tiny House and wondered if I could create one my way. Here is what I came up with, its about 500 sqft.

Very interesting video. Several things caught my eye that I wish I could achieve (yes, I have played with the trial version of Lumion and know some of those things are added via Lumion).

• The building itself is really nice.
• I really enjoy the animation of the water.
• The texture of some of things like the rocks.
• I really like the setting for the building/campus. Being able to place it in a city setting like that is really nice. I would like to do that.....

Thank you ntxdave, the city behind my building I found on the 3D Warehouse, just search there for ( Cleveland Rocks ) that's the name of the person who created it, then I just use the parts I wanted and placed them on each side.

There are other cities on the 3d warehouse also

What is the render engine?

I used Lumion 6 to make the renders and the video

I added a sneak peek of my Curvilinear Estate design a while ago and it is now complete, here are the renders and the link to the YouTube video.

I have finished the renders and video of my Zaha Hadid type building attempt. I hope you like all it.

Here is the Link to the YouTube Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8haEonC_dk

Nice Modeling

Thank you tadema.

I took a look at your website, your work is very good and it shows me I have so much to learn.

Nice job! Some great design ideas!

Thank you pbacot.

Voluptuous forms as always!

Thank you Pilou

I'm always trying new things with the types of houses I design, but I never tried a Zaha Hadid type building, so I thought I would try one, so here is my first attempt at it.

I put google's name on the building like its their headquarters , and the basic renders are from a sketchup plug-In called visualizer, but will be taking this building into lumion soon, I just have some things I need to make better first.

The city background I found on the 3D Warehouse by a designer that goes by the name Cleveland Rocks.

Love the design and your renders are getting better.

Thanks Bryan, I am always practicing, there is a lot to still learn.

A home I designed with sketch and place at the Madison club lot. Its a curvy roof style design.

Hello every one I thought I might post some images of a new home I'm working on that I call Curvilinear, its design is based on a actual lot in Malibu California.

Its at the beginning stages and as you can see I have a long way to go. I like the overall shape of it but its the landscaping and driveway that's giving me a hard time at the moment.

What do you think of where the design is headed?

Thanks

Keep going Aaron, looks good, that old rustic thing is sooooo old. Tho its hard to see the house for the trees:)

Thank you baz, I do appreciate you liking my work and for sure I will keep going.

Impressive work. I like the day scenes. The night scenes are dramatic but I want to see more light on things--though the orientation of the day shots do not show off as much as the pool night pictures. How about an aerial that would show more of the concept at once? I would like to design more spaces integrating inside and outside like this.

Thanks pbacot, I do appreciate it. I tend to do to many night scenes because i like the drama lighting up the structure can bring and I have a lot fun adding the lights.

I will try to get some more aerial shots once I have some free time to get into it. The rendering part is something I am just starting to get more serious about, I am not good at it, the program does most of the hard work. I am looking at others renders and video to get better.

I have a lot of fun when coming up with the initial concept drawing, usually something scribbled roughly and then refined and tuned to get to a point I can scan it to the computer to get inside sketchup and then just go crazy on it haha!

Thanks again

I am wondering about the clearance of roots for that tree that appears too close to the pool, a part of the wall in fact. Is that enough clearance?

Nice building and renders.

Thank you Mike for liking the design.

About the trees, You know I don't think it would work in reality unless the roots could be contained some kind of way. I just thought it would look more interesting to try to integrate the trees into the design close to the structure some kind of way.

The overall design is far from finished.

Thanks Again

Very nice! I like it!

Thank you Bryan, I'm always trying to try something different

I wanted to see if I could design a modern home in a wooded setting that would have a rustic logy feel to it and still have a unique shape. Don't know if such a home would be doable in a such a setting but I thought I would try.

Very cool modern design.

Thank you Bryan, I just have to get a full interior inside when I have more time.

For some reason the phrase "Welcome to my lair, Mr. Bond" pops in my mind every time I look at these.

Excellent work, firstlight.

Thank you Daniel I do try to create some unique and interesting time. Thank you
