since this has been a personal challenge, thought i'd share one of a few current projects here that i'm working on. there are no drawings for this from architect apart from base plan dwg that was sent per internal field verification. was asked to reconstruct a few buildings based solely on current site conditions based on photographs. architects are proposing new courtyard (removing overgrown greenery to expose facades)..... all i've had to go by are site photographs similar to this.
process of figuring out dimensions based on counting bricks....
initial clay renders based on brick counting for dimensions
Then, architects managed to find archived drawings for church bldg..... after i was halfway through modelling it
so scale check was in order, which also allowed me to figure out what was going on in areas unseen per photographs.
clay renderings after scale verification:
Followed by initial materal runs...
IBL:
Sun: (some materials need tweakage....)
hopefully i can pull off modelling a new set of trees for this in time for deadline. however, if anyone knows of a good source for live oaks (trees), then please let me know....
