Barcelona - demo reel project

[_mats_]

Hi everyone -

Unfortunately I haven't been able to post a whole lot of renders lately.

I didnt have much to do today, so I decided to start a little project for my reel, I grabbed some random modern architecture image references and started tweaking it, adding trees etc..

I talked to Nico and apparently he recognized the building right away.. props !

I will keep tweaking and will post updates as they come, thanks for watching !

Yeah I guess it's one of those architectural masterpieces you can identify in a heartbeat. Nice work so far!

[nico]

yeah Mies Van de Rohe RULEZ!!!

Ooh, now this is an absolute classic piece of modern architecture. Pure modernist excellence. Every single element is painstakingly detailed.

Not a good idea to screw around with it adding things or changing things IMO. Adding stuff and making a joke is fine, like a moustache on the Mona Lisa. This is like changing the eyes to make them 'pop'.

Great render though - even if it is architectural heresy!

Oops..

I didnt know what it was. I just googled "modern architecture" looking for references and it came up on the 2nd page.

Hope I am not insulting anyone, but this is just a rendering exercise for me, I plan to add lots of elements that differ from the original.

Thanks again for the crits.

I would go the other extreme, fully grown trees ripping up the pavement. Go all the way!

...moustache on the mona lisa..

...full grown trees ripping the pavement.. (they're lush bamboo stalks btw)

Got your point guys, I will show stuff when I have something worth showing next time, or I will be more careful picking a random architecture piece for me to use as a reference next time, no worries...

I think the joints between the tiles might be a bit too wide. Another great render though.

It's growing on me!

One thing to keep in mind - perhaps adjust the holes in the pavement to line up with the edges of the tiles? It seems a bit random at the moment.
