FlyingArchitecture Adventure #2

After January full of commercial projects, we’re back with what we love the most – organizing workshops and giving you the knowledge to help you to become a rockstar! With the workflow consisting of Rhinoceros + V-Ray + Photoshop and load of motivation you can get on our events, it’ll be super easy to use the knowledge for personal/commercial/school projects, or even kickstart your carrier!

Our everyday workflow consists of utilization Rhinoceros 5 + V-Ray for Rhino and Photoshop in our process. These three software solutions are a simple way how to obtain photorealistic & emotional architectural visualizations. Of course, a bunch of skills is needed :) Join us and get them with us!

//Language:
The language of the workshop is English, but of course as I speak Slovak and Czech as well, you are free to ask at anytime, if you do not understand. But please note that at least medium knowledge of English is essential.

//Dates & program:
The workshop is planned to happen on February 21 – 22, 2014, from 9:00 AM to 18:00 PM each day. As I know myself, we’ll sit here til 8PM, so don’t worry – you’ll have plenty of time to ask your questions.

Day #1

Modeling & Materials

First day – Friday – will be dedicated to brief introduction, Rhinoceros modeling and V-Ray materials. We’ll go through Rhinoceros interface, basic modeling tips and tricks, via more advanced detailing in 3D, highlighting efficiency in the process. A bit of theory about 3D/2D detailing, highlighting pros/cons of both of them. Mapping (+mapping channels) comes in the end of Rhino part. Hopefully, somewhere in the middle of Rhino part, we’ll go out for a good lunch.
Creating basic V-Ray materials – Diffuse, Refraction, Reflection layers, their combinations. Explanation of physical behavior of real materials, simulating them in V-Ray material editor.

Czech republic is well-known for many specifics, but the most known and demanded is famous Czech beer, so the first day we’ll have a beer out, first round on us!

 

 

Day #2

Rendering & Postproduction

Second day will be spent inside the world of V-Ray – continuing with V-Ray materials from the previous day, via V-Ray Options, V-Ray Frame Buffer and some tips & tricks in V-Ray.
Discussing best ways of optimizing the render, it’s parameters, proper render output for sustainable postproduction.
Photoshop comes next and trust me, it’ will be the best part! Importing HDR files, layering, lights, shadows, glows, and we can’t forget birds and lens flares! :P

We will also discuss ways how to communicate with a client, how to deliver WIPs and how to be as effective as never before.

I’ll gladly join you for a beer, if you stay in Brno also for one more day.

Hannamdong 4- The Exploration process

At FlyingArchitecture, every project tells a unique story, and our workflow ensures that each one is crafted to perfection. We take pride in our methodical yet creative approach to turning initial concepts into compelling visual narratives. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring our projects to life.

3D printed concrete architecture

We had several opportunities to work on visualizations for the projects involving 3D printed buildings. One of them was The Tent, a building meant as a refugee shelter that is quickly erected after a major natural disaster in China.

The switch

Recently, we have decided to limit our support for the store with 3D assets and instead fully focus on what we love to do – creating striking architectural visualizations.

The nature of FlyingArchitecture revealed

We are excited about this transformation and believe that it will enable us to better showcase and present our capabilities, to show the customers what we really do and provide even greater value to them.

Realtime walkthrough: Lake Cabin, part 3

Terrain sculpting tools in UE4 provide a very smooth experience and with addition of alpha brushes you can get pretty realistic detail. However sculpting large-scale believable terrains is a time consuming process and you need a keen eye for how the terrain is formed in the real world.
