Just curious, in real life, all those incredible shapes achieved in a cad program, can they be built ? Which materials are used and to me the hardest part,how can they be installed and later on, repaired ???

greets

it's actually not too bad, most of them are precast concrete or metal cladding.
the hardest part is always get the curve designer wants to match with the drawing that facade consultant provided because there's always discrepancy such as understand ur design, applying detail etc . as long as drawings are correct, cladding contractor can just make it and put it up on site.

we are currently looking to create something similar like above pictures, something fluid/flow on the building facade.

only thing i can think of model this is to actually figure out each bezier lines, fine tune xzy point of curves, then loft each line by line.

but if just wanna do some quick concept model, is there any suggestions on making these shapes?
advice is appreciated!

hey guys.. i keep on having trouble..
for example, a shop front, i have a jpg texture, for diffuse bitmap, and i use same jpg for emissive, cos i want it to look bright.
it works, but everytime i restart a sketchup, let say, 10 shop fronts, 2 of them will recognise the emissive bitmap, but rest 8 dont, i always need to go back and reapply the emissive bitmap.. it's very frustrating..

i am using su8 and vray 1.49.01.

pls can anyone help?
