I added a new gallery of architectural renderings to my portfolio. This is a set of exterior and interior views prepared for an architect to present his design to his client.
New Architectural Rendering Tutorial - Cinema4D
A lot of architectural rendering work is using the same techniques over and over again to get different results.
Creating a basic sliding door in Cinema4D
In this next Cinema4D modeling for architecture tutorial, I will be creating the sliding door for the house we will be creating. As I have stated previously, there are a lot of different ways to achieve the same results. The techniques that I show here are my way of working through the modeling process. I actually recorded this video several months ago but have not had time to work on it due to being very busy with my day job and my freelance rendering work. Since recording this video I have tweaked some of my techniques and I will be creating some “quick tip” videos and articles so please subscribe to my mailing list to receive updates.
I use a lot of the same tools as in the previous tutorials. I start with copying a window and adjusting the size to create a sliding door and make in instance of that door for the other part of the sliding door. It’s interesting in this video how I reused previously modeled parts to create new parts using scale, point stretching, knife tool, bridge tool, extrude, bevel along with several other tools. It’s pretty basic modeling that all part of creating a 3D building.
On a side note, I will start recording videos with audio. I have ordered a Blue Microphones Snowball and will have voice overs from now on. I am by no means an audio equipment expert so I probably will not do a review on this product.
The link to the microphone is an Amazon Affiliate link. I get a small percentage of things ordered from Amazon though this link or other Amazon links on my site. If you like the tutorials please help support the site by using the amazon links.
The Corner
The is a quick interior render I did to try out a couple of new techniques. I came across a different (for me) way of adding light glow in photoshop and I wanted to try a fur/hair material. The light glow is used on the lights and the window and the fur is played over a stool in the background. The scene was inspired (but not an exact copy) of a photo I saw on a design blog. I will soon post a quick tutorial, on my tutorial site, about the light glow.
Snow Scene Architectural Render
This exterior rendering was inspired by this image and "making of" and was done for snow scene practice.
Abstract Renderings
I first came across abstract renderings like these on RonenBekerman.com. Since then I have seen a bunch of people recreating these types of renders. I thought I would give it a try. I found this tutorial which showed the technique in Cinema4D. The images below are my attempt at this kind of abstract render.
