skogskalle Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 hi guys! Nothing special about this really, a very small job. But I think it looks kinda cool.... I didnt get to do the interiors for this projekt... the architect only hired me to make his drawings look more intresting.... He didnt want any furniture or details... or even windows. very basic. Ive worked on this for a couple of hours and he wont complain if I put down a couple more, so.... is there anything you see right away that I should change? I put the two arrows in the middle there instead of modeling the stairs to the next floor. good or bad idea? rendered in Vray free // Kalle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Looks good. I like the colouring on the floors. The arrows don't really tell me anything; I wouldn't have a clue what they were supposed to represent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmanahan Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 I agree with IC. I didn't know what the arrows were either, they really attract your attention. Maybe transparent stairs? pmanahan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skogskalle Posted June 14, 2004 Author Share Posted June 14, 2004 bugger =) I thought they looked so nice... but if you guys dont know what they represent, neither will my client, so... off they go. I guess Ill just have to build me some stairs then. thanks both of you for your fast replies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With big steps, out of scale, not with the size of the real steps, and thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skogskalle Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 "Just make the arrows stair shaped. With big steps, out of scale, not with the size of the real steps, and thats it." Thanks for the tip! Heres an update. My client actually liked the arrow-idea, so ill stick with it. If he´s happy, Im happy... but I agree that they attract to much attention... Sorry if this pic is a bit fuzzy, but I had to downsize the pic in photoshop and lost some of the crispiness while doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salf Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 It looks better, now the thing tahts distracting a little bit is the second level plan. It looks at first sight as another building next to the big one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IC Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Yeah that is much better. But I agree with Salf-it's a bit like a UFO coming in to land! Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allen Bussell Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I disagree that the second floor is distracting - With the stair arrows matching, I naturally tie the second floor to the first. Another option would be to have a small section of the first floor copied over so that it lies under the proposed stairs - but again - I don't think it's necessary. Great work.

skogskalle Posted June 15, 2004 Author Share Posted June 15, 2004 Thanks again guys! I dont think Ill do any more work on this one.... my client likes it, and I have other stuff that needs to be done.... Thanks for the tip Allen.... Thats a great idea. IC and salf - how do you guys think I should´ve handeled (sp?) the second floor then? Same way as Allen suggested? or some other way? I usually dont do these types of illustrations and I welcome all the tips I can get. cheers! Kalle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salf Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Well, if the client thinks the second level plan is ok, then leave it, but i do think it could be different, the thing is that right now is a little distracting..... I mean, im an architect, and even though i also tied the stairs together, it took me a few seconds to "perfectly fit" the small second level plan to where it supposed to be above the first one. So maybe for a regular person, thats not used to read floor plans, it will be harder to place the second level. So i think you could do 2 things: 1- the regular isometric de-composition view, just place the second level plan where it suppossed to be, just that high enough that it doesnt covers the further (farther?) part of your first floor plan, and tie both with a dotted type of line. 2- Maybe this is what Allen suggested: copy the exact same first level plan to the right, and place the second level where it supposed to be, just that youre gonna make the first level fading to white, almost invisible, but you'll get the sense of location.

I dont have the time to change anything on this project, but Ill think of this in future ones. Thanks for the suggestions too! I like the idea of fading the underlaying floor to almost white... that could look really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
