To continue on from the previous project, Sliding windows and doors were added into the building.
The steps for making doors are: Create > Geometry > Doors > Sliding.
The steps for making windows are: Create> Geometry > Windows > Sliding
Upon finishing making doors and windows, terrain is made.
As the building is situated in a forest, the ground is not totally flat. To do an irregular surface, the plane create is displaced.
To do so: create a plane > modifier list > displace > import photo of a rocky ground and bump > adjust strength to create irregular surface.
With the building being 'Freeze', grass is being imported into the plane via material editor. A photo of the grass is being imported along with the bump which is edited in Photoshop. The appearance of the grass is further edited with 'UVW Map' in the modifier list.
Besides that, physical grass are added through grass generator which is downloaded from the internet and imported into 3D Studio Max as a script. They are then patched around the building.
The terrain is hidden and the building is 'unfreeze' to import materials into the building itself.
Wood and concrete is imported and used for the building above alongside with their respective bumps. Appearance is then modified through 'UVW Map'.
As for the path, stones are being used as materials alongside with its bump. The appearance is then modified through 'UVW Map'.
Completed path.
Completed concrete roof.
Aluminium material is imported for the mullions for the building. The aluminium is obtained from the 'Autodesk Metal' from material modifier.
Glass is imported for the curtain walling of the building. The glass material is obtained from the 'Arch and Design' in the material modifier.
Mud is obtained from the internet and imported into material editor to be used for this building.
Terrain is expanded by adding some contours to create a hill.
This is done by: Drawing lines on plane > Move the lines up along the Z-axis to create different heights > Lines are selected > Geometry > Compound object > Terrain > Modifier list > Turbo Smooth
Trees are added through: Geometry > AEC extended > Foliage.
The trees are then placed and scale to appropriate size.
Daylight is added through: System > Daylight.
The position of the sun is adjusted manually.
Cameras are added through: Cameras > Target.
The positions of the cameras are manually positioned to obtain a bird's eye view and an eye level view for rendering.
(Before Editing)
The rendering is setup using Nvidia Mental Ray as assigned renderer.
After finished rendering, the photos are then saved and enhanced using Photoshop as post-production.
