There are some architectural elements that I wanted to highlight so I introduced a few accent colors. I also added a surface behind the architecture in Sketchup so that shadows would be generated and also add some interest to the background. I am actually doing this to help visually separate the architecture from the background. I’m going through a green phase right now hence this color reappearing in many of my recent images. This helps to clarify the geometry and shows the relationships between the moving parts. Because there are no materials, rendering only takes about 20 minutes even at a high resolution.Īn easy way to add more interest to images is to introduce line work and guidelines from Sketchup.

I started things off as I normally do with a quick clay model rendering out of V-Ray. Sure there are some things I would change if I had more time but this is also an exercise in knowing when to stop which is also an important part of visualization that I don’t always get right. Things should be calming down in a few weeks in which I hope to get back into my normal routine of posting more often and consistently.īelow is a very quick breakdown of the exploded axon. Creating images in such a short time frame requires fast decision making that I think leads to interesting results.

This is similar in style and workflow to this exploded axon that I did a few years back. Last post was a collage and this week I went with an exploded axon. Unfortunately, this means that I have not been able to invest as much time as I would have liked to this website. Instead of not posting anything, I have been putting my workflows to the test generating images from start to finish in 3 to 5 hours.

Things have been very busy lately, in a good way. As you have probably noticed, I have not been posting as often as I normally do.
