wk9

Today was the last day of the wk9 exercise and my computer did not agree with me finishing it! It was freezing randomly every time my CPU (Central processing unit) was loaded with new work... I was only able to complete and save 1 rendered picture before it crashed.

The basic idea of this exercise was to add textures to our 3D models. Since I have already done most of this stuff I just made few changes. I changed and fixed grass texture that looked horrible in the last exercise. The textures of the trees were fixed, but phasade stayed the same as before.

Only rendered picture that I was able to create before my computer crashed multiple times in a row!

Although the lights will be used in exercise wk10 I have played with them for a while. I have added new lights for more smooth shadows. Then added a small amount of blue that would simulate the sky reflection. Then at the end the clouds were added to the rendered picture!

Since I have added most of the things to my model on wk7 and wk8 I am just going to correct old things and maybe add a few new ones during its creation.


Here is a tutorial on texture mapping for cinema 4D.

So yet another week has come and I have more interesting stuff to show. Although the stuff is really similar on the outside the rendering was created with a different approach. We had to create 3D rendering of our building with the use of file import. In other words that means that we had to "draw", extrude etc. our model with the help of imported autoCAD or archiCAD file.

Here are some examples of my new renderings!

I have added grass texture to the rendering, but it is to large so it looks like it has mutated... Do not be alarmed :)

I have added some new tree models to the rendering

We can clearly see the direction of the sun from the shadow trajectory!

Although we had to use some plans from autoCAD/archiCAD this exercise was as fun as the last one. I have learned some new and interesting stuff about adding and importing new objects into Cinema! But there is still a long way to go before I will be able to create something more impressive.

For the grande finale I have added this tutorial that shows how to create house/flat in cinema 4D!

The seventh week has come and it was time to make some rendered pictures of our building. At first I wanted to use 3DMax but then decided that Cinema 4D is the right tool, because its UI (user interface) is way better then 3DMax's.

So the first thing I did before creating the main building was doing some exercises.  After that I created a really simple model of the building to which I added windows and doors. The composition of windows was changed from previous exercises, so that will have to be fixed.

render 1

render 2, it appears that the door are a bit asymmetrical so I need to change that.

The textures I used were really simple. Gray phasade, glass texture for windows and some really strange textures for concrete. I need to change that at some point.

render 5

I have really learned a lot from this exercise. It was interesting compared to wk 5 and wk6. But we need to do them all so here is a really nice tutorial for cinema 4D hope it helps you.

After the delayed update of wk5 new exercise had to be done. So I have added dimensions to my project.

Dimensions of the project

Edit: As you can see I still have a problem because the numbers are to small. So if someone knows how to correct this please do not hesitate to tell me :)

There should be façade but my autoCAD did not want to make my work easy so I will have to add them at the later time :) I had a bit of the problem with dimensions to. The problem was that I was trying to use comand #/DEMED and that did not show the dimensions in the pdf file. After that I realised that I had really simple tool at the annotate -> Dimension with added standard parameter. :)

As you may have noticed I really hate programs like autoCAD etc.

Here I have added a great video that shows us how to add dimensions to our porject.

I did not upload this part of the DMP last week because I was sick so I missed the release date. But I have created this section and floor plan a few days ago and did not find time to upload it.

So on week five we had to create sections and floor plans in autoCAD, archiCAD or any similar program.

My section is really simple and represents the two lecture rooms that I implement into my design. Each lecture room has 128 seats. The section plans are drawn without tables which are intended in the project as well.

Section of the lecture rooms.

The layout of the building represents the direction of the seats. The building can be entered through the sliding doors which lead diagonally to the lecture room entrance!

Unfortunately I did not spend as much time with this exercise as I wanted to. I had few problems with autoCAD, because at the end, when I published my post, the pictures were black and they could not be seen on my page. After that I had to change the colour with overlay function in  Photoshop.
