- 2. Process Design Charette •Booklet – – Massing model – to Photo Realism • Programs – Revit – Sketchup Pro – Max – Google Earth Pro • Mapping • Actual • Aon BLDG – Document Illustratively how to do process Mass Model – Photo Realistic on Site Model
- 3. Massing Model • 32Stories • In Plan 190’ x 95’ • Building Details • Model Details • Standard Primitive with raster Material maps • Detailed Model
- 4. Building Height • InGoogle earth measure the floor plan to get the length and width of the building • Import a bird’s view from Bing maps into Photoshop • Use the Analysis tool – Analysis > Set Measurement scale – Drag the ruler across the top edge of the 195’ side – Set Logical Length to 195 – Drag the cursor along the vertical edge to get a building height of 340’
- 5. Building Skin • UsingBing Maps bird’s eye take screen shots a long and short side of the building • In Photoshop, ctrl click the corners to distort the images so they appear flat. • Adjust the two sides to match each other
- 6. Building Mass • InMAX create a box using the dimensions we just found > convert it to an editable mesh • In the material editor make a new standard material for each side (ie. long, short) – Set the diffuse map size the exact size of the side it is being applied to
- 7. Site Image • InGoogle Earth take a screenshot of the site and save it as a jpeg • Make another material for the site and apply it to a plane – Scale the diffuse map size to match the plane
- 8. Photo Realistic Model •Cross Member Geometry – Clone the box from the previous exercise and hide the old one – Using the conceptual material as a reference, create a cage out of box primitives
- 9. Floors • Once againuse the conceptual material to size and place floors – Use the array command once an acceptable distance is found • Remember to not make the floors flush with the exterior
- 10. Glass • Create aplane for each side • Recess the planes slightly more than the floors • Apply a reflective material • Apply a black material to the building structure
- 11. Building Sign • Createtext – Arial Bold – Site to fit • Extrude Modifier – 2’-0” depth • Use a box primitive to extend the horizontal line of the “A”
