I’ve needed to tell a story in my render BUT what should it be
as you can see in concept Image I did a search about most important days in Sweden and I chose tree specific Days as my final choices after that I looked at photos about those days and I;ve found The national Day with a lot of Visual attractions So I decide to Imagine my Exterior view in a National Day. Maybe It couldn’t grab your attraction at first but let me to finish it 😉
The fact is I dont really know the starting point. So first time, I watch the images provided by Ronen carefully, thinking that it helps to find some clues. When saw the shape of the building, I realized that it look like some buildings belong to Postmodernism style. Then I googled with the key “Postmodern architecture”. I found that there are many interesting buildings, but those images do not really attract me, some of them look so boring. This is the key point. I start to think about lighting (and color) aspect.
Next, I start to look for some inspired images that attract me with its lighting. Fortunately, I have a collection of them on Behance. I chose the image ( thank to the author!) because I want to bring a feeling of fresh and brightness. After that, I asked myself: this is daylight point time, exactly the early morning, so how do I setup the camera and the surrounding for the scene? This time, I remembered to one of my interesting tutorial video that I bookmarked on Youtube. I took its screenshot (see below), and that’s exactly what I need. Right after that, I started to sketch out my idea on paper, very fast. And now you see it below.
With interior scene, I decided to start with composition. Also, I use a pen to sketch it, the fastest way, isn’t it? Then I transfered paper sketch into digital sketch so that I could see how it looks and could make some changes also. This time, I want to bring cinematic look to the rendering. Cinematic lighting, that’s it. So I searched for refference images. You can see it below.
Final is my liking. I chose an interior scene. And with the same process like two scenes above, I have the result that you see below.
There are my results untill now. I will keep update it. Thanks for reading!
I chose “IMMORTAL ARCHITECTURE” Title because this library is build in the period of 19th century (1928) until now its the same.
So i like to show this project in the form of ‘TIMELINE’, based on this i am attaching the reference images as the first step.
I mostly model in Sketchup, so finding a file conversion that would smoothly integrate from the 3DSMax format into Sketchup took some work. Since the library sits on a busy streetcorner, the temptation will be to render the building from the reflecting pool and small park to the south of the building. That is the most common view in most photographs of the building, as the building sits high above the street, which is populated with restaurants and makes for a difficult view of the building itself.
However, I imagine that most submissions will be this same shot over and over again, so my desire is to find an angle of the building that is different while portraying the exterior in the best light possible.
I wanted to not only represent the library, but also to really emphasize the intent behind the design. I didn’t know very much about Gunnar Asplund or the Nordic Classicism movement, so I got a notepad and began to research them. I believe this will help me to create an image that will really do justice to the architect, his work, and the style of architecture. I also began to find some inspiration images, as I plan to make this project a true triptych with three images that come together to form a story. As such, I wanted to find three distinct types of atmosphere that I can put together to form a comprehensive work of art. These are the images that I’m posting for this entry.
This is my concept for the competition.
After back and forth consideration, At the end I have chosen three traditional but classical perspective view angles (from park look toward to library, Main Entrance, Looking up by standing near staircase of interior view)
1, Exterior Image
I will render it as an overcast and cold evening after snowing, The sky is not too dark, the ground is covered by snow, a pond skimmed with ice at the foreground. Freeze snow with warm tone light to create quiet and harmony atmosphere. Not too much activities but maybe just few kids skating and snowball fighting. The main purpose of this image is too show the library and its related surrounding.
2, Interior image and An image of your liking
I would like to show the exterior and interior details of the library, I will select either winter scene or autumn scene for the exterior view, have not decided yet by now. It will be culture atmosphere for the interior view by using looking up perspective to express human desire for knowledge. We will see a lot of partial details from those two views by using refined material and texture.
Of course, To achieve all those that required a detailed model, so the modeling workload is huge, I have started refining the model. Keep Going!
