Step – cameras and light.
I began to search and select the most appropriate angle for the exterior. As a result, stopped at a horizontal perspective. Next, I tested various HDRI maps, and chose a few suitable ones for my idea.
I will return to the light setup after I finish the modeling phase.
The exterior views model has been finished.
Most time I referred to Google street view to built the surrounding details,this is time-consuming but necessary.
I also bulit 4 trees using Speedtree.
2 trimmed willows were put in the foreground of the park view,so the trees won’t cover the background too much.
The other 2 trees are used in the front of the main building,just want to make them more similar to the realistic trees.
Hello everyone, For starting this project I knew that I needed a general idea and a concept that would guide me through the process of building these images. To get this idea, I started by exploring the model that was provided of the building and I also started to look at references of the surroundings/context. I noticed that this place fosters activities that are interesting.
After having clear the general idea and the frames that I will use, I have started to model some details so that I can begin to have the kind of images that I want.
Last year I used Fstorm Render in this case I pretend to use Corona Renderer all of this with the purpose of having fun with the light setup of the light mix feature.
I want to create a festive atmosphere without undue influence on the architecture
For the main picture I wanted to show the winter weather but mildly not something so dramatic, so I needed to create a bit of snow (not much because that requires a lot of RAM) so I had to decide which sections to work on, here I show the building itself with snow accumulating on the edges. This was done in HoudiniFX using VEX and VDB nodes.
Hi! after some holidays rest I’m back with an update.
The interior image is almost done, I just need to create a few materials and then it’s on to the exterior images. The process, as with the other images, starts with modelling, than texturing and ends with post production in photoshop, which I will do after I have all three images rendered.
The hardest part was getting the books to look right, I wanted to represent the book pattern behind Strindberg’s bust, on the upper level, as it really stands out from the rest of the library, so this took some work but I’m glad with the result.
The rest of the materials are easier, so I expect to be done with this image in the next couple of days so I can start with the exterior shots
