I also hope to be showing the creation of some models via Works In Progress. <br><br> Please see the <b>'Other Projects'</b> link in the sidebar for more work.Tim Danaherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03089259720924110890noreply@blogger.comBlogger21100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37752307.post-1164207312786384432006-11-22T02:28:00.000-08:002006-11-22T08:45:53.020-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/3257/regalcinemaoverviewen1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://img452.imageshack.us/img452/3257/regalcinemaoverviewen1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> This a conversion proposal for the Regal Cinema, in Minehead in Somerset, for BRS Architects, Oxford. The brief was to convert the run-down cinema, which housed a Kwik-Save supermarket on the ground floor, into a full-blown theatre and arts centre, and to provide a permanent home for the collection of Minehead's most famous son, <a href="http://www.clarkefoundation.org/">Arthur C. Clarke</a>. <br> <br> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2980/regalcinemacloseupxraynt7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2980/regalcinemacloseupxraynt7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9379/regalfinalxrayel0.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9379/regalfinalxrayel0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> Two more SketchUp renders of the project, done in X-Ray mode. This rendering technique shows how complex this model is -- it slowed my PowerMac G5 to a crawl. This was a blue-sky approach to the conversion -- too complex (and expensive) for what the owners had it mind -- but it was to allow people to get an idea of what might be possible and to get them behind the project.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37752307-116420731278638443?l=vizarch6.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tim Danaherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03089259720924110890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37752307.post-1164213925435577452006-11-22T01:40:00.000-08:002006-11-22T08:46:55.066-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9350/regalfinal1024wf7.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px;" src="http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9350/regalfinal1024wf7.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a> The model rendered in <a href="http://www.cheetah3d.com">Cheetah3D</a>, using HDRI and Ambient Occlusion. I kept the samples low on this one for a sort of 'Fractal Noise' effect.<br> When Minehead is finally in hi-res on <a href="http://earth.google.com/">Google Earth</a>, I'll revisit this.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/37752307-116421392543557745?l=vizarch6.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Tim Danaherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03089259720924110890noreply@blogger.com0
