Hi all
I just decided to participate as well.

I know I will never reach the level of a Pixela or a Stompin Tom or some other great 3d artists but I hope to improve my skills by participating here, it's just a good practice.

Comments are welcome

Kind regards
Alain

hey welcome,

very nice concept and sketeches! i love them!

by the way, i think that the walensee house is an inspiration for this challange itself! so it's good to have it as inspiration for your concept!

Hey Alain... Welcome!

That last dusk sketch is really remarkable - The mood is so nice... seems like the calm waters just after a storm. Love the color scheme and implied environment.

Looking forward to see more :-)

[Alain]

Thanks for your warm welcome.

I have been working on the architecture, I didn't found mutch time to work on the challenge during the last few weeks.

The are some new sketchup screenshots.

Now the architecture goes in a way that I like... have to get some ideas for the interior... I'm planing to render everything in yafaray... but I don't have mutch experience with it... did some test with octancerenderer witch engourage me as well... an the 20th of october is coming closer an closer... oh oh oh :-)

well i like the second view, although it lacks hover to it...

and seeing only the edge of the pool bugs me too...

play with it a bit...

and have fun..

[Alain]

Here is a little update.
There is still alot of work for the materials.

I'll go to sleep now, good night :-)

Looks good - liking the last viewpoint the most.

I'm guessing there'll be some sort of handrail on the path to the water?

[Alain]

I'm not sure about the handrail, the idea is that the way to the house is like a natural way just created in conrete. I this case a don't care about security regulations :-)

But if I have a good idea for the handrail that fits into the formlanguage of the architecture I will think about it again.


Kind regards
Alain

PS. My favorite view is the last as well
