AlbertoEzzy Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Hi everyone, I'm new here and thought I'd start by posting my first ArchViz image. Modeled and rendered in Modo. (post in Photoshop) I have a 3ds max (v4.2) and then Lightwave (v9.0) background, but I never had so much fun with 3D as with Modo... especially with the modeling. C&C welcome!

Vince Paske Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Very nice! That guy in the white shirt/black pants must be moving really, really fast though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanSpaulding Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I'm just getting into Modo... Looks nice! I love the water. Overall, good 1st foray into Modo. How did you light this scene? I'm trying to get into Modo for ArchVIZ as I love the look and everyone raves about the modeler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertoEzzy Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 Thanks Julian! Ryan, Thanks! The light is just 1 Directional Light, a very light yellow-orange, for sunlight (See screengrab for settings). And full Global Illumination with a HDRI Environment Material.

RyanSpaulding Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Cool. Thanks for that. How did you like using Modo for ArchVIZ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertoEzzy Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 How did I like Modo for ArchViz? Just pure fun! Really intuitive and fast. That's personal taste of course. In the past I've used 3dsmax (v4.2 some years ago) and only liked the texturing and rendering part of the 3D-jobs because of its combination with Finalrender. Same story with Lightwave. Its native renderer I actually liked. But the modeling part... again not my cup of tea. Then came along Modo, and finally, finally, I began to like modeling. I'm hooked now on all aspects of the program. I only miss really good caustics. I'm doing some testing with Maxwell too. There even is a great script that exports Modo geometry to ready-to-use OBJ for Maxwell Studio. The community is the best I ever met! It feels really good to be part of that. Bye for now!

Does Modo model in actual Architectural, engineering scales? Like Sketchup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSpaulding Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I've been doing some testing...I right now dont really get how to get my 2D cad plans into Modo so that i can use them as a guide to build from. This is going to take some getting used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHE Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 What is exactly the problem that you are having Ryan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertoEzzy Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hi Ryan, If it's not too much trouble, I suggest you check out the Luxology Forum - as I just did for you - and search with "CAD plan". You'll get a lot of answers like that... Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanSpaulding Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 What is exactly the problem that you are having Ryan? Getting my 2D CAD plans into Modo as linework. Once I get the hang of this frickin program, I'm gonna do a decent video tutorial on how to get CAD data into Modo, model in Modo, texture, and light the scene. We could use a good tutorial on this. Start to Finish arch-viz project. Not the crappy Null Institute one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanSpaulding Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Null Institute has a arch-viz tutorial. I didn't find it very applicable with arch viz...there's no texturing info, nothing to really get you into it. Bear in mine, my tutorial could be months off. I didn't have time to get my linework into Modo this weekend. I'll try more tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryukyu Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I usually export a PDF of the CAD file, convert it to a bitmap and then map it as a texture on a plane. You can then scale the plane until the dimensions are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Waller Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Nice, I love the colors, the render reminds me of dali. I agree way to much motion blur on the walking character otherwise keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedrux Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi, It looks really good. Were the pople added in photoshop? If so, slow the guy in the white shirt down. Is he the waiter? He must be on peice work, he should earn a fortune! If you think, he would never be that blured in real life. The camera's shutter spead would be very fast as it looks like a nice day so nothing would be blured that much. Anyway, artistic liscence to create the mood! What,s the average camera speed for a sunny day? 1/1000 th sec? He looks to have travelled 300mm in the 1/1000 th sec. He would need to be doing 300mph!... Hire him. Fantastic water.
