Computer Aided Design (CAD) have the ability to produce top notch quality renderings while simultaneously innovates ideas. But of course all must undergo a series of trainings and experiences, and for that the first assignment is to model an architectural design.
I've chose my previous Studio work as my building, which can be referred here with a little bit of changes here and there. Below are a series of 'Work In Progress' screenshots and the methods used.
 |
| Tracing Elevations and Plan using layers and reference lines |
 |
| Import CAD Files into Rhinoceros 5 |
 |
| Extrude floors with different levels using ExtrudeCurves/ExtrudeSurfaces |
 |
| Extrude walls and using 'MakeHole' to create door openings |
 |
| Extrude the remaining East walls and 'Cap' the openings |
 |
| Traced and extrude doors and door frames |
 |
| Extrude West walls using reference lines from Elevation |
 |
| Using 'MakeHole' as Window Frames and 'BooleanDifference' for Sliding Window Tracks |
 |
| Using 'Bothside Extrude' to produce outlines of a Window |
 |
| Using 'Cap' on the Extruded Bothside Curves to produce Windows |
 |
| Complete the remaining frames at the West walls |
 |
| Using 'MakeHole' on Surfaces to create the Sliding Doors |
 |
| BooleanDifference for the Sliding Doors' Tracks |
 |
| ExtrudeCurve Bothsides and Cap for the remaining windows |
 |
| Railings for the Balconies |
 |
| Framing for clerestories with Polyline as reference |
 |
| 'Extrude Bothsides' and 'Cap' the remaining windows |
 |
| Traced Roof structure and using 'Rotate3D' to lock and incline Roofs |
 |
| Labelled each components using coloured layers |
Finally using VRay plug-in for the Final Render
