Vertical Garden: Renders

Renders 

Revit

In Revit we used in-place masses. We needed the vertical garden and the kitchen frame with a small kitchenette. To create vertical garden we made several boxes placed on top of each other in a pattern. To make one of these boxes we used in place mass from massing and site in the tools bar. We first created a box, and then a sequence of void inside of it. Then we used voids to make the subtractions for the gaps. We put the box repeatedly in a vertical pattern. For the kitchen frame we used the same technique. Then we added materiality to it.

Sine last Revit delivery we changed the dimensions of the kitchen frame and added some extra vertical boxes for the plants that will be used for cooking in the kitchen. We created our own material by adding a picture of the specific wood type we want in the material browser.

Renders

The first set of renders were not successful. We sent them to the cloud and they did not pick up the settings we put for exposure and transparent background. We did it a second time managing everything ourselves rendering it with the highest quality. Another thing we changed was the positioning of the cameras. We have one view seen as it was from a person walking into the vertical garden and one elevation. The outcome of the renders were remarkably better.

Process of making the renders

To create the render we turned the sun settings and shadows on. We located the project in Barcelona at the site to get the correct sun settings. We placed a camera in the floorplan. Then we made sure the whole project was fitting and that we have a view from a persons height. First we made a draft to check the exposure settings and how it will look. Then we made a better quality render when we were satisfied with the draft.

Photoshop

We started with the editing in photoshop using some of the commands we learned in class extended with some commands we knew from before. We modified many things, but I will not bore you by mentioning them all, so I will only write about the most important ones.

When we chose the selection of greeneries to put in the boxes we chose pictures with a white or transparent background. We cropped the greeneries out of the picture by using color range selection, choosing the white color, inverse, and contract. This will usually leave us the most precise selection. Then we copy and pasted them into the render. To get the correct size and perspective we used the control + T to activate transform to modify the size (hold shift to keep dimensions) and hold in ctrl over the corners to correct the perspective.

We added the correct shadows by using a photo of the project before making the background transparent. We made a selection, created a new layer, used paint bucket, and modified the opacity to make the shadows fit.

To make the shadows of the trees, and the people we duplicated the layers and put an overlay color as black. Then modified the opacity. Then we used transform to put it as it naturally would occur in the real situation.

We put in the background from a real picture of the plot. We copy pasted it in the working file. We added grass. 

We also edited the colors, the exposure, used curves, stamp tool, the hardness of edges etc.

Easter practice I had some problems with my Easter practice, because the project was first deleted from my computer, so I had to redo it.. The geometric shapes were difficult to make. I used boxes, in order to do the main shape, I made two different geometric shapes and used "intersect" to make a union. I used the command "revolve" for the circular stairs. 1. To start you have to drew the section of the stairs. For circular stairs you have to extrude them witn using the command "revolve". For the squared stairs I used normal extrude, and to create the corners I used the command "union". 2. Then I started drawing the supports of the shape V. I had to do a cube and draw two different sections to create two geometrical shapes and put them together. To finish I used "union". I used polar array to copy them around an axis. 3. To make the structure of the structure I used the same technique as in step 2. 4. The parts between the st...

Presentation, book and families

Image
Since I already wrote about presentation sheets in my last blog post I will only write about families and color schemes in this post. Families Figure 1 - reference planes The planes of reference are those that delimit us the drawing and help us to place the different elements of the family. The two planes that define origin form the point of insertion of the family. It is important that the planes of origin be anchored so that they do not move. Reference planes can be dimensioned and parameterized to control the distances between them. The dimensions create parameters to previously decide the distances of the objects linked to the planes. Figure 2 - parameter When designing a family the start point is to create reference planes. These reference planes helps us placing the elements we are going to draw. The intersection of two planes will create an origin where you can easily anchor an element. What is great about Revit you can control the distance...
