Please Critique

Please critique the lightworks rendering. In some cases there is a little photoshop touch-up.

There will be other renders following.

The first is a photo montage

Scooter,

I agree that this is a stunning project, and I love the way it hugs the terrain and looks like part of it, and the way the roof seems to float.

I'd like to see the perspectives be lighter, though, so that more of the detailing of the building itself can be seen. Maybe it's just my monitor since Dwight likes the detailing of the shadows, but they look pretty drowned out in darkness to me.

How did you model the roofs and curved walls?

I used a combination of Rhino 3D to model the form with ArchiCAD to render.

Hey, Scooter

I saw your presentation at the exhibition here in Newcastle...you should post the full presentation layout...looked great!

Well done....!

I have already posted the Montage which was presented on top of this image so I will just post this image.

Dang, I knew it was too good to believe it could have come just from Archicad <sigh>.

2400mm long by 1000mm high. The montage is 2400 x 500mm high.

How did you create the closing blind-style windows in between the two sections of roof?

Would you care to share it in the shared object library?

thanks b

Which window do you mean?

Could you describe which image you are refering to?

I am not impressed unless I am able to imagine the feasibility of engineering it, and constructing it.

If I stretch my imagination I can imagine that the room is buildable.

I can not imagen how to deal with the wind and seismic loads on all of that glass.

You don't need to solve the problem completely, however, you do need to show something that we could imagine as a viable solution.

I am probably demonstrating my ignorance about the technology that would be used for the glass.

Scooter,

I have changed my mind. It took only a short time for me to learn about the structural glass technology needed for the glass.

What you have shown for glass is just as valid as the roof.

I hope you will model the building completely someday. Anatomically correct, if you will.

I am satisfied that your building is not only beautiful, but it is constructible as well.

Also, I think showing the structure in more detail will make the building even more interesting and would not compromise the art of it. It would validate it and accentuate it very well.

Very good work. Thanks for sharing it on this forum.
