Started a new interior project last week. I'll post progress renders here for anyone interested. The work is part of a very old university. When it was built, no consideration was made for handicapped students (as was the case for lots of old buildings). With this project, we will be adding a ramp on either side of some stairs leading into a corridor.

Here I am modeling the existing interior starting with some stairs leading to a lower level student lounge:

Here's a quick render of the lower lounge area with stairs and elevator:

Here's a plan view:

Progress:

Modeled in some existing windows on the lower level:

Added some stair railings (which later they decided to remove):

Adding more detail to existing elements:

Started adding new elements. Colors are just generic diffuse materials for now until the interior designer gives me her material samples. The brown will be wood panels and the black is dark metal.

These short walls conceal the ramps on either side of the short stairs into the corridor.


By the way, the background in these images is just an HDR environment to quickly light the scene. Final renders will show a proper ceiling and interior lighting of course.

Added some frosted glass:

Added more detail to the top of the corridor entrance:

A donor to the university will have his name on the curved piece of glass.

Started adding frosted glass to the railings:

Starting to add finishes.
