Uneral

Unreal In Unreal we can put our project into a 3D space and make an animation of our project. They have special effects that you can play in the animation. You can put lights, artificial and natural.

Figure 1: general

We can export a project from Revit to Unreal by using a plugin. In Revit you cavar it under components> export 3D view
Figure 2: Revit
When you place an object you need to go into content > StarterContent> and f eks. > architectural element if that is what you want to place. In our project we are placing a base.
In the models side bar you can choose visual effect and add lights or atmospheric effects. In the details side bar you can adjust things such as the intensity of the light, the light color, source radius etc. You have to make the elements movable as well in the sidebar.

Figure 4: Visual effects

In the program you have labels that works as layers that you can turn on and off.
Figure 5: Layers


In our project we will make one image during day and one during night. In the day one we will show the natural lights, while in the night we will show the artificial light. To get the appearance of night rotate the sun down, click on the layer and activate it.
(Nb sky sphere to get the sky).

You can move, scale and rotate the lights with the normal scale and rotate tools. This is how you position the sun.

Figure 6: Tools shown in left upper corner



Post process volume under visual effects: In the end you can put a box that will frame the light. It will decide the limits of where the light is shown and not. You can decide by rooms for example.
In our project we put artificial lights that will light up the boxes at night. We also put artificial light inside the kitchen frame.

FINALLY> Build: to see the appearance of effects.

Vertical Garden: Renders

Image
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.  Figure 1: material browser Renders The first set of renders were not successful. We sent them to the cloud and they did not pick up the sett...

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...
