yeah, well for as far as i have seen here in belgium there isn't much model making, either it isn't done or it is done by specific companies because the cost for it would be less then doing it your self. almost the same for renders and visualisation, at least the big companies either hire someone to do that stuff or send it to specialized companies.

i see everybody putting pictures directly on here, how do i acomplish that ?

That's really a bad habit i think. In my opinion, in order to make good architecture you have to think in 3 dimensions very early in the process. A model isn't only a presentation tool, but it should also be a research and design tool. The famous dutch architecture agency OMA (of Rem Koolhaas) usually makes over 100 different models for a single design.
When the design is finished i think there's no problem with hiring other people to make a presentation model, but an architect should make models during the process for research also.

Oh you can include pictures directly in your post with the 'include picture' box under the box where you write your stuff.

And britishmoose, that's a cool drawing. nice style!

ahhh cool yeah the include picture thing ofcourse :) i never use it so i kinda forgot about it,

well yeah i geuss its a bad habbit but well if they pay me not to do it :) fine by me :)
on this page u can see some of my schoolwork, the site doesn't look to great in firefox but should work fine in internetexplorer, it's in dutch so most people won't be able to read it.

i added one of my presentation pages, it was a render assignment for 3 contrstructive and/or estetic details. there is a desk for a income it is self designed but the idea of blocks was borowed from a existing design, then i have a constructive detail of a fire escape door connecting to a roof that is also a breach between 2 parts of the building (zettingsvoeg) so that the plaster doesn't burst when the building "sets" itsself, and then lastly there is a cooling chamber connecting to the industrial kitchenfloor, these details are from the same hotel i showed the model from earlier.

i also like the dracula dude :) but i think he needs some small round eyeballs inside the white :)

i'm geussing sketch up, but i could be wrong, it looks kinda like it
(btw. sketch up is a quick 3D drawing program, most of the time it needs no real rendering to give a nice image of a building and it is very adaptable,)

I made a basic model in maya, then rendered it in vector. I used photoshop to apply the materials on the surfaces and add shading/location.

I really liked that website blackraven. It's nice to see there's more people on here with a passion for architecture. You seem to work very thorough on every scale. from the building in the surrounding to the detailing. Great stuff!

Well, it's really cool looking.....just trying to imagine a actual building like that....so surreal. :) Great job on it.

Yeah its awesome. The vivid colours and complex shapes aren't something you see a lot in flash. Probably for a reason, because I highly doubt if that type of imagery can be animated. Maybe some clever tweening could make it manageable.

Since this thread seems to have been revived I might as well showcase something too! This is a try-out for a new animation I'm working on. I'm focussing on the backgrounds at the moment because I plan to rotoscope the characters once my tablet arrives (any day now). It's also the first time ever I've used bitmap fills in an animation. I really like them so far, they give the entire thing a darker grittier feel.

I'm loving it too. Somehow the entire style feels kinda gta-ish. I like how you can see the materials clearly with the bitmaps

Looks really nice and can't wait to see it finished. Looks really nice and fluid....though it moved abit slow for me...not sure if it was planned that way or not.

Response to Newground Artist showcase thread 2008-01-14 16:25:57


The zooming is quite slow, so that might be it. There's going to be a pretty long dialog in that scene, so I'm not sure yet what I'll do with the camerawork to fill up that time. I think I'll have a few random characters moving about in the background, trying to keep things interesting.

Thanks for the comments though guys!

That's a pretty neat art style there....You know...if the shirt was white, and had a disgusted scowl on the face, you'd look like the Angry Video Game Nerd guy. That was my first though when I saw the image. I don't mean that as an insult in any way, and not calling you a nerd :)

Besides me being a little leaner then him, i'd have to agree. Not that im not a nerd, just not to the extent of him. lol.
