The Architect of Tomorrow: S01E11*

End of another week for my work integrated learning at Focus Architecture. Today saw me work another interesting project. I was given the opportunity to do some 3D Renders for a concept recently completed by focus architecture. The task was to produce some renders as part of a marketing package for potential buyers for a residential block at Gordon Park. The Idea is to create 3D renders to bring a yet-to-be-build property to life and is popular marketing strategy to secure the right buyer for the property. This process allows buyers to visualise the potential for future developments.

To create these images I was able to edit the already existing Archicad Model, I updated the surface textures on the roof cladding, Walls, Windows, Doors and Awnings. I also added some wall cladding to the external walls and updated some of the layer combinations to show all the relevant components and objects.

I then imported the Archicad model into Lumion to add some final materials, vegetation and objects to complete the image. Lumion is great and it produces high quality images and videos quickly and is easy program to use. I then added some final touches in Photoshop to complete the image. The trick was to do all the surface and detailing in Archicad to minimise the amount of editing needed in Lumion. This meant less work to do in Lumion and meant I would have a more complete Archicad Model for any future work
