Jason's BATs & Tutorials

[Francis90b 748]

Oh, i see it again now.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Hey guys, I've started something new.

I might have an update on my architecture project sometime this weekend too.

[Francis90b 748]

What it is going to be?

[nofunk 1,933]

Nice start!

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

Wow!

Fantastic coffee table and aerobics platform!

No really... I'm curious to see what it is...

i know what it is, but i'm going to let jason spill the beans on this one

[jacqulina 162]

very nice

[Gn_leugim 853]

a kind of expo space?

[Odainsaker 2,134]

Wow, you all are indeed going to be surprised when you find out what it is.

However, I think SimHoTToDDy has it right on what it really is, hehe, just like Philip Johnson's Chippendale chest of drawers.

Very nice project, this small house. I really like this building in RL. I really like that you are making some of the best buildings of the (maybe) greatest architect of modern architecture....

moin Jason,

i think it's going to be the farnsworth house from Mies van der Rohe!

btw. what is the program you are modeling with?

cheers

He is using 3dsMAX.

Hi beutelschlurf!  It is the Farnsworth House! 

Others knew as well, but now is a good time to confirm it.  For SC4 purposes, I could finish it the next time I work on it, but I also plan on using this to put into my architecture portfolio (as an example of modeling and rendering), so I'll be modeling the rest of it carefully.  I thought that the windows were just normal storefront window systems, but it turns out they are custom designed, using a variety of steel sections, which I should have figured.  Everything I've modeled so far is very close to being accurate dimensions.  I'd say that it's accurate down to about an inch.  I also plan on rendering this as a HD BAT.  I don't know how I'll be lotting it (I obviously can't include the entire forested property, but I'd still like to include some context).

Also, I've just seen your BAT thread on SC4D.  Your BATs are looking good!  You're welcome to start a thread here if you'd like to.

Hey Jason! I know I haven't been around much lately, I'm suffering from an acute case of Real Life Syndrome. But the Farnsworth house should be awesome; now we can have Miesian shrines in our cities, what with the Barcelona Pavillion and all. And the project for your architecture class is cool too - very original.

Here's progress on my architecture school project.  The top image is what I posted about a month ago.  The bottom image is where it currently stands.    There won't be any design changes, I'm just finishing the model.  This render is from a different angle (the old one is looking NW and the new one is looking NE).

[jacqulina 162]

wow great progress

[Gn_leugim 853]

very nice job there!

[art128 4,618]

Looking great there Jason ! I like these building very much !

[wolverine 12]

When are you done? I haven't seen you come down to the MC to print. I should enjoy being finished with grad school, but all these undergrad architecture print jobs being dropped off are exhausting me. I work 10:00 a.m to midnight (14 hours straight!)  tomorrow (Thursday) at the print shop.  Stop on by.

[Francis90b 748]

Good newer version Jason.Hope to see more progress on it, it's quite nice.

[grbac80 5]

Very nice progress on that project Jason. It looks very nice.

[Jasoncw 11,840]

I've uploaded Trier Station (remember that?).

Enjoy!

Here's a full screenshot of it:

[Gn_leugim 853]

lovely

[Francis90b 748]

That's good !Are you doing well with your architecture project?It looked really nice the last time i saw it!

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Progress on Farnsworth House.  I'm hoping to have the BAT completed this weekend, and then it will go into the modding queue.  There will be an R$$$ version and a landmark version.  Beforehand I was making everything super accurate, down to the inch, using plans and construction drawings from the internet, but now I'm just finishing it up.  Still though, everything is very accurate.

I finished my architecture school project a few weeks ago, and since then I've actually graduated from architecture school.  I have a portfolio website which I'll share here one of these days.

[SimHoTToDDy 2,938]

 Congrats Jason!

The house looks pretty good, its a shame those painstaking inches won't show in SC4. At least you will know that its perfect

[Jasoncw 11,840]

Thanks!

Here's an update on the Farnsworth House.  The day version has been exported, however, I think I'll need to go back and make the porch a little less bright.  I did almost all of the furniture, but for most of it I just roughly modeled the solid parts (didn't do the steel legs).  The furniture and it's arrangement is accurate based on photos from the last few years.  At night the furniture may show up better.

When I did the Barcelona Pavilion, people said that it ended up looking too dirty/run down, and I'd like to avoid that for this one.  How is it looking?

[spa 968]

I think it's looking good. Not rundown at all. You're right though, you need sunglasses to look at that porch! It's definitely too bright.

[nofunk 1,933]

Of course, the problem is that roofs usually look dirty and run down, and on these modern buildings, that's what you see the most. This is looking great though! (Excepting the porch, of course lol.)

great station,nice progress on the house
