Photoshop

The task assigned required the use of photoshop to apply material textures onto our models to add a sense of realism. Only three images were required are deliverables, however I was astounded by the potential this offered so I opted to do many more to improve my as well as the quality of my submissions. Here’s my best three transformations,







To arrive at these three was a vast learning experience, one which I think is best documented within many of the output images themselves. Originally, I started out working with simpler models, practicing with the multiply and scale tools.






Quick Tip: The Multiply tool is gorgeous and saves a lot of time when it comes to adjusting the luminosity and adding shadows, but it relies on the darkness of the object being multiplied. Try to include dark woods/textures over white models for the best and easiest results.

Bonus Tip: When using multiple panelled materials look for seamless textures, these may be lower in resolution and harder to find but they can be tiles continuously and infinitely. I find that it this works best when multiple images are individually tiled and then the layers merged, simply because of the enhanced perspectival effect.

Once I moved onto photoshopping carboard models I found it immensely difficult to use the multiply tool due to the dark brown of the original material and so I slowly practiced manually adding shadows, adjusting colour balances and changing luminosities.




Felling more confident with the perspectival stretching, my final phase was marked by the addition of background scenery to envision the context of my models.

All of theses pictures mark esstential steps towards developing the necessary skills to create my final images, whilst also improving the overall presentability of my models and submission, making this excerise one of the most rewarding experiences through out my university education. The importance and power of post production is an insight that I hope will retain for many years to come. Anyways, which picture did you like best? Were you surprised by the transfromations, would you like to see any more raw photos? Let me know, in the comments below!

Begun translating mys section into a 3D Design, currently the exterior of the upper floor and gallery is complete. Two Stairs need to be either redesgined or added, and lansdcape modelling is incomplete. Basic progression in the build is shown through the images below. The following section has been chosen for construction. Diffuse Striation The hexagonal dome was the most obious part of the section and so was intially constructed, a smaller dome being madw within to act as a sort of photography studio for the Kyza. The stright parts of the section were elongated into a trapezoidal shape to accomodate a geodesic structure at the edge. The edges expand to emphasise the experience of the widening of the space and the panoramic views of the landscape offered. The first floor was similarly articulated with basic geometric shapes and considerations for natural lighting through galss windows.  To increase the complexity of the stuructre curves were added into the roof  to metonomise...

Week 5 models Redone

In this blog post I detail my procedure for making various architectural models of my room at different scales and through different media through snapshots of the design process. Whilst initial models were made for this task, they seemed to be messy and inadequate as reflections of my skill, and so were remade as follows. The card model 1:20, the cardboard model 1:10 and the paper model 1:50, respectively have their construction shown below . Please take time to read the text and use the images as a flip book, a sort of timelapse detailing the construction. Card Model The first task allowed for the construction of a paper/card model, initially a paper model was made but it became flimsy for proper photography, hence a new one made of card was constructed. Due to isolation restrictions all materials used were recycled, with the main white card being old manilla folders , other materials included cling wrap and recycled advertising sheets. This model is made on a 1: 20 sca...
