Comp Apps : Work in Progress

Project 1

tracing and massing my model, literally just construct a guide line for my 3D model.

Facade and grouping of model.

Window frame and skeletal work.

complete facade, added roof and doors.
Rendered using 3Ds Max 2014







Reflection:

This project is the first project of this module, it was a very interesting and fun journey from me to develop digital drawing from scratch. I love the part where literally i have a 'second chance' to fix my design that I once realize there are mistake like the dimension and etc. 

Rendering Exercise

Project 2A


Test Render 1

Test Render 2

Test Render 3

Test Render 4

Test Render 5

Final Outcome 1


Bird Eye View Test Render 1
Test Montage 1

Final Outcome 2
Reflection:

Honestly I felt very difficult to make the building to look extremely real, I had been through a very tough experience with 3D max where my file are once crashed and I have to start from scratch again by reinserting all the material I had downloaded but in the end I felt very proud of myself to accomplish this project in time.

Project 2B
regroup all the layers in rhino again to have a better arrangement of material input

split up the model and inserting it layer by layer again
quick selection through the layers
assign material with quick selection through layer mangement
download 3D furniture online to insert into my model
with the aid of sketchup, i did custom furniture to fit into my model
inserting material of choice (bitmap) into my furniture
inserting self illuminated material to my light bulbs 
Lighting and it's intensity
setting up camera at selected perspective angle

rendering properties and final touch up

test render 2

test render 3





Reflection:

I had a lot of fun editing the material and adjusting the light. I was first having problem with the lighting as it doesn't show up in my rendering and I spend like few hours trying to figure it out wheres the source of the problem. I ended up asking help from my best friend Ronn to investigate the error and we found that the intensity of the light somehow is not high enough to show up in the rendering so we had turn up the intensity into crazy high amount like 50 000 to get the light source. I like where the part I learn the issue and trying to solve it by myself although it ended up helped by my friend, I am very satisfied with my effort in this part of the project.

Project 3 : Walk Through Animation


drawing lines to make route for my camera
Create target camera on the top of the line
apply follow
uses auto key to generate animation
moving the camera by setting auto key
create leaf falling scene
editing the texture
When I start to render in 3ds Max the estimated time is more than 800 hours for the whole video that i animated with 32 frame per second in 720p quality, in order to save time i decided to import everything into lumion and render with lumion instead with 60 frame per second in 1080p quality which only cost me around 3 hours plus.
rough modeling of the landscape to fit my model
importing my model into the scene
reposition of my model so it frames the view i wanted to be
refining the landscape to fit my model properly
assign material of my model
adding furniture into the model
adding people into the scene
add vegetation info the scene
lastly, adjusting weather, light and shadow
generating the animation frame by frame
cast advance movement into the animation
uses multiple scene to narrate my design
editing the song, remove the vocal to fit my video
touching up everything with window movie maker and save into mp4




Final Outcome


Reflection:

This is my favorite part of all the project that had been assigned to me. I felt very proud of myself animating the video and completing the design at last fixing all the mistake that I had made in previous module of Architecture Studio where I felt that I had achieved one of my life goal where I must animate and narrate my own design where I had began with.
