Lets hope for a better world where no ideology takes over people...

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:

Merry Christmas, mates, let's pray for a more peaceful world!

Had the chance to make more...

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.

And here is another shot from the Grand Hotel.

here is a detail from the painting.

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

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

Another watercolor from the Netherlands, old Eindhoven.
Cafe Central, TRAMHALL ( as I read)

No need to describe what happened.
During this time, suffering from insomnia, I tried to be productive; filmed parts of A, B, Sketches book, and started 3 film (scenario) plots:
The 1st is too Sci-Fi-ish (The 7G world stepping towards the 7G world turning into 7G connections),
The next is more of a human, semi-sci-fi-ish: Where humans are not just observers living in a pre-determined world, but influence the world by their intentions, sort of miraculously.
The 3rd is very humane, in which a naive, simple granny is safe and supported by her beliefs in a harsh world.
Attached, you will find the polished version (using ChatGPT) of the 1st plot.

It all started with a dream developed each night before sleeping.
I am open to any improvement suggestions

Just saw the very early release of Hippo3D. What the developer claims seems very promising. :
Free and Open Source Modeling Tools for Designers
CAD-style workflows for Blender

Taaa mates! Let's hope for a more peaceful world for our family/children.
It seems that the severe blockage persists for many websites, including university websites. While searching for any relevant PhD/research/job positions, I thought I might ask to have my CV and Portfolio shared within your network, please.
Here is the link to a folder where I uploaded my documents:

Lets hope for a better world where no ideology takes over people...

Hello everybody, and thank you, Thomas, for the topic.
So many horrible things, I believe you all know, nothing to nag though; So many good friends here (my friends -all around the planet- are my real asset, to be honest), no close family member was shot nor arrested (a few extended family members arrested temporarily, brother of my friend, executed accused of betraying)... we are doing "fine", and the internet is somehow back....
P.s:. just corrected some typos, it seems internet access is getting better.

@L-i-am believers have killed more, harsher and waster....Take WWI-II , Azteks , Muslims... i.e. Ideology is a powerful tool for manipulating minds not to see the truth/reality. Making a paradise in heaven=making a hell on the earth... Let's pray for stepping out of it to a world where logic and mutual respect define freedom.

It seems Iran (rejim) will soon face the music; this way, they will feel what it is like to be defenseless! This would be the finish point to a chapter of history! Let's see and hope to meet in a free Iran!
I appreciate all good memories, help, support... You made here...

Thanks for your feedback. I will develop the idea and share more soon.

It has been some time since I have been busy with a revitalizing approach to the arched and vaulted structures, reimagining them in contemporary or future contexts. I think the same process is applicable in timber roofs as well, and here is the process I go for (reviving the system):
Simplifying the question (system) and breaking it down to aspects,
evaluating those aspects and their relations (validating the system),
reimagining them based on the previous steps.

One of the core concepts of the roof question (IMO) is to break down a wide gap into smaller spans. The other is to break it into triangles and rectangles and cover those shapes. There are specific "types" of roofs, and they combine in "specific" grammar.
There is a mainstream tradition regarding the latter question, and here lies my answer: what if we think differently and combine the "types" in a different "grammar"?
Arches and timber roofs share a very similar approach to span the gap as a roofing system, which is why I strongly believe these steps apply to timber structures as well. We can revive those "specific" types and their "grammar" to reach novel combinations.
Here is a glimpse of the idea (pattern) I follow.
Please leave your comments and let me know if any description is needed.
(Can you see the logic shared in the first two images and follow the logic behind the rest?)

somehow similar to this:
