Quite the undertaking. After studying your images carefully, I hate to say it but the balcony appears too far forward. I've never seen a theatre with the front of the balcony so close to the stage; I'm afraid if you looked at it in a section drawing, you might have a problem with sight lines. Also, IMHO, your chandeliers appear dinky to the space, as seen in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pictures.
Would be nice to see some views of the ceiling, as they are usually very decorative in such theatres.
Look forward to seeing the finished product.

Hi Daniel,

It's been a while since I've revisited this post and project, I've been toying with the idea of changing the interior of the theatre this last week, including moving the balcony further back.

See images below.

Impressive lotta work! Do you light up all the lights in renders?

Pbacot,

I do indeed light up every part of the set with individual lights - that's when my render software plays nice with me.

Wow ! Whole lot of stuff going on in there .

Ha, I know, It's a surprisingly responsive model for all the stuff going on. The studio model on it's own is around 42mb due to the intricate details such as lighting bars, power outlets, lights, scenery hooks, catwalks, stage drapes and other realistic features.

Thanks, Bryan.

Here is a generic talk show set with a home-like feel to it.

I've taken some inspiration from a recent talk show, can you guess which one?

Again... Enscape not working.

Here is a quick pic of a TV studio I've been working on.

Enscape (Render) is not working right now so I've posted a raw shot from SketchUp.

What do you think?

Looks pretty fantastic! I might suggest one thing. The images look dark and while the Sketchucation thumbnails are small. The images themselves are too large to really get a feel of it.

Here is a "test" render of the almost finished auditorium and stage

I've still got to add some more lighting to the main house and lower the saturation but at least you get the idea.

What do you think now?

Work in Progress...

Hey guys,

I'm in the middle of my theatre project, I've made a few theatre designs in the past but they've been modern and when I've rendered my set designs with them, they don't always look the best.

I thought that i'd try something different and do a classical theatre.

Let me know your thoughts etc.

(I've still got to add wall decorations to the stalls area and back walls.)

Features:

1,800 Seats, Main Stalls & Grand Circle
Proscenium Arch
Sound and Lighting Booth
Speaker Rigging
Curtains / Drapes
Chandeliers
Sound rigging / trusses
Light rigging / trusses.

So much more to come.

Hey Guys,

I'm pretty new to this site but have been using SketchUp for years. In the past, people have asked me to release a free model and at the time, I couldn't due to confidentiality reasons.

The model in question, I have been working on for a number of months now and will be sent to a architect/ developer for evaluation purposes but he kindly let me share it with the SketchUp community as a way to showcase my designs.

[highlight=#ff4040:3i2mg0xd]--The model is still in BETA stages at the moment and can change until it's release, all studios still need to feature electrical items, rigs etc--[/highlight:3i2mg0xd]

Model features:

9 Studios
Over 35,000sqft Production Support / Office Space
Over 70,000sqft Studio Floor Space
Outdoor Police Station Set
Kris Jenner Show Set in Studio 2 (One of my earlier models)
