Merry Christmas yall!
Playing with Blender 3D to learn better modeling and texture painting and rendering using Rayscaper!

I do some 25*35 cm watercolors in intervals, whenever I can spare some time. Mainly focused on old Tehran (Qajar era), based on BW photos.

Here is one of them with the details:

I know it is odd to design a facade apart from the plan/building but it has become a norm here. recently I had a facade design suggestion and here is the result.
Changes on the 1st floor has been due to the client.
!

Had the chance to make more...

This is rather an old model... Yet I liked the result.

And here is another shot from the Grand Hotel.

here is a detail from the painting.

Meydan-e Masgh (Soldiers' drill arena), Tehran, Qajar era.

More and behind the scene images

@pixelcruncher My pleasure to have my hands on such a charming piece of software. Considering my laptop is rather old, not supporting recent graphic cards and all the computation is done by the processor.
Here are more tries to discover the "coating" layer .

@L-i-am ok, great.
Just modeled it for you
Please let me know if it needs modifications.

More examples of the "F" letter.

E letter..

E

Here is the breakfast scene. Plates, table, etc are designed based on the main "triangle" theme.

i.e. the pointer is lost when the Rectangle tool is working. Also, I have no clue if I must be in edit mode and then use pull/push or it automatically starts. By the way, I tried both and did not get any response, it says you must hover over a face and then use the pull/push tool, yet it does not work...

I tried the script. It does create a rectangle, yet not intuitive enough. Rest did not work for me, but a good start.

I reimagined everything, from the way they might work. collaborate, feast, and party, etc... to dishes and details. Unfortunately, I did not have enough time to explain...
Here is another hand-drawn sketch refined using Krita

Well well, we share similar approach. Yet about AI: if works based on logic! It now works like us, so if you ask it to design a futuristic car, it wouldn't go so far from the "norm". Let me explain: It will not design an ionic-wind-powered vehicle, nor a triangular/circular form as the base shape; the result will be a rectangle (in plan). While many "forces" that shape the cars nowadays (or in the near future) are different from what shaped the cars in the past; cars are sort of "developed "carts". a rectangular cabin for the passengers and a place for the driver + engine (instead of horses) bumpers to protect the "CAR", etc...
We do not need drivers anymore so no need to stare at the road all the way long,
we might talk together , enjoy sightseeing, etc.. so there is no "front" direction force...
We need bumpers to protect "passengers," not the car... so they might be foamy, soft plastic materials, or energy absorbers such as sandbags, etc, nothing similar to today cars.... etc etc.... So yet we might think more creative if think logically and reimagine the design question.

@Rich-O-Brien, These renders are jaw-dropping!

@L-i-am said in Urchin the Australian lunar village:

Biomimicry is such a cool device for inspiration from nature

Agreed if understood right. In many cases, it is just playing with forms (same misery with parametric architecture), nothing more, while we might be inspired by the forces that shaped those natural innovations. By "forces", I mean all chemical, mechanical, logical... forces that shape a phenomenon.

@pilou Inspiring and incredible. Thanks for sharing!

Mi Majid, interesting what is the Australian link/

I am planning to work on affordable housing for my PhD. The side reason entering such a challenge also is the same..
