Spiral Staircase
3D detail design, look development, modeling, lighting, shading, rendering, post
2005-2008
Project: -Scape
A rare example of me working on detail design and working plan of an architectural project, other than delivering digital visualization as usual. I was involved in the process while working for -Scape.
You can see here every step of the detail design, plus some renderings and the built staircase itself.
Original publication at omology.com (text in Italian)
1. 3D concept
Draft model, atmosphere reference
2. Strictly functional CAD 3D model - straight splines
Focus on practicability and construction issues
3. Example of shape modification for aesthetical purposes
This and some other tweaks, focus on final look
4. Final CAD 3D model - curve splines
Still no surfaces...
5. Final surfaces 3D model
Done in 3ds Max upon CAD splines
6. Visual check
Everything's ok
7. Final developed surfaces (Rhino), ready for construction
3Ds Max subdivision surfaces were imported in Rhino and converted to NURBS
8. Final visualization renderings
For client and publication
9 .Real-time, fully navigable interactive model
First person view, baked lightmaps
10. And some months later, photographs of the completed staircase
(did these with and old smartphone)
