the drop

/in , , /by

I spent a few hours for sketching one day, and finalized it the next day. It was like 8 hours in total.
I didn’t know what to do in the beginning, so I was just rotating the model, looking for a good spot, then I found the stairs in the front (the one with the railing), and I thought “Oh I’d like to jump that”, so there came the idea for the skateboard image. I I placed a dozen cameras, but none of them worked, so I moved around and found this nice hole with the big drop, and tried to find the best composition here.
I really enjoy the sketching phase of my images, I quickly created a simple light setup with very basic materials, and jumped into PS to see if the image is working properly, and created a few variations for the sketch. The The next day, I got into modeling and shading. Obviously, the facade tiles were the biggest difficulty here. Curvy, tiled, corten steel is a nice combination for a little nightmare. There might be some better ways to do it, but I basically remodeled the curvy surface because I needed the individual panels for multitexture to divide a couple different corten steel plate textures.

This was a challenge but I really enjoyed it,
I downloaded the file first day of the New Year and took it for a spin, because of the surrounding I thought I would like to take a real picture of the building and that’s how I started to explore the view possibilities, I loved this angle and it was my first camera, after that I tried a bunch but non satisfied me like this so I decided to go with it. And that’s it I couldn’t work on it at all, until about four days ago when I decided that I will do something, watching some videos and looking at reference photos, I started with fixing the model and adding some stuff in the street and around the building.
This challenge was kind of easy , Choosing the view was quick, finding the mood and composition was fast, I didn’t want to do puddles of water and sunset and sunrise visualization because I thought many will do that and I love the sun any way. Didn’t want to do something too fancy as it was one of the things mentioned in the brief. But I wanted something different and that was red-pink-maroon. And there you have it, my sunny view and perspective of Tham & Videgård´s School of Architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
