Rendering Breakdown: Radial Blur
I don't use blurring techniques that often but every once and a while, I come across an illustration that needs a little extra kick. This was the case with the interior illustration introduced in the last post. The shot was looking down a long and narrow...
Cranbrook Project: Interior Illustration
The Cranbrook project spreads are starting to come together. I spent some time composing the section and floor plan spreads which meant moving away from the abstract diagrams and into more traditional architectural drawings. I also developed an interior...
Cranbrook Project: Building Section
When I originally designed this project back in undergrad, I put a lot of time into the design of the section. It's an important illustration and I therefore wanted to move away from the abstract illustrations described in the previous posts and move...
Cranbrook Project: Site Analysis Diagrams
This week, I put together some diagrams that build off of the language of the first illustration created last week. As mentioned in the last post, the intro page illustration was designed to be a "teaser" for the pages to follow and get the viewer...
Cranbrook Project: Intro Spread Illustration
The summer is coming to a close and I am making a final push to wrap up “Project Portfolio Upgrade”. I have spent the last two weeks developing a new 3D model for one of my old projects from undergraduate school. Some of you may recognize the design as...
Theater Update 3: Perspective Illustrations
I was able to develop a couple of illustrations this weekend to help illustrate some of the exterior spatial qualities of the theater design. The number of pages for this project are really starting to add up and I don't want to add any...
The Third And The Seventh: By Alex Roman
A couple of years ago, I posted this video by Alex Roman. It has been a while and I figured it was time to revisit it. A lot of people ask me where I get my inspiration from and this is one place I constantly go back too. It never disappoints. More than...
Theater Update 2
Progress is being made on the theater section of project portfolio upgrade. I put together some floor plans and sections/elevations of the design as well as compiled some of my past process work into another spread. I decided to group the plans,...
Project Portfolio Upgrade: Theater Update
The long weekend has given me a chance to catch up on some things, one of them being project portfolio upgrade. I have been spending time developing a new 3D model from scratch and it still is nowhere close to being completed. However, I wanted to get...
Lofting Basics & Process
I received a lot of comments asking for an explanation of how I made the model and more specifically the curved geometry. Sketchup by itself is not well suited for "organic” modeling. You need the right plugins to get the “rhino-esk” functionality. What...
