Alphabet inspired sketches

[Mike1158]

Ta mate, I think I am leaning towards a prefabricated unit setup where the frame is universal and the units are the alphabet.

Pardon the intrusion, the Badgers are here for supper so I popped out to deliver commestibles.

I reckon prefab units have a lot going for them when done right, seen a fair bit about Huf ( https://www.huf-haus.com/en-uk/ ) designs about the interweb and on Grand Designs where they appeared to be pretty good value for money etc.

Using a skeleton would possibly just be extending this idea a bit further so, rather like a bridge idea.

Services could be an issue, anyone have any thoughts on that? Possibly extend the alphabet to include units for this within a framework?

Units are two level and dimensions are 24' wide by 24' deep and 19' high (8' to ceiling).

Those prefabs are enchanting.

OK guys, here are some quick renders of the "X" building I have been/am working on. There are a bunch of things I am not happy with but thought I would at least let you know that I am still working on it. It might be a little while before I finish.

Having some issues with the model:

• Placing windows on the octagonal shaped buildings. As you can see, some of them I have not even gotten to yet.
• Need to redo the foliage.
• Not happy with the roofing.
• Thinking about making the passage between the buildings different (several ideas).
• Not happy with the background image but do not have a better one to use.

So, here are the quick renders:

Steady progress.
Twilight supports proxy ( to place quality trees).
I usually use a png treeline -from 3d warehous- for background and place it in a proper distance to my model.

Yes, and I also like Skatter as it gives a bunch of options for applying foilage in the model in virtually any position and in any grouping you like.

Can you show.an example of a good tree line png file or tell me what to look for in the 3D warehouse.

[ntxdave]

OK, I downloaded some dae background files from the 3D Warehouse (Rockit3D dae files) and applied them to my model and then used Twilight Render to produce the following tests. I am liking these test reults. I think it will allow me to backoff with Skatter a little.

Here are the "quick" test renders and feedback is greatly appreciated even though some of my issues I outlined previously are still there, I think this will help me going forward.

OK - I finally finished my "X" building (I had many problems along the way - especially with the render to achieve what I was after). Hope you enjoy. I used SketchUp (with some plugins), Twilight Render and Skatter. So here are my renders:

It would be even nicer if collage two images, the starting sketch, and the final result!

I am not sure I know exactly what you are suggesting but I think I have an idea and will give it a try (might take a little time). I appreciate the response.
