Task 5 - Continued

Having made the garden in Sketchup, screen shots were taken. These images were printed off and a line drawing traced over the design was made. The line drawings were then scanned back into the computer and in photoshop colour was added to each image.

Each stage of development, from the line drawing to the fully rendered image was recorded. In addition human scale was added.

Here are the results:

Image 1 shows the 5 different view points and the development of the images.

Image 2 shows the final rendered images with human scale added.

Task 5 - Sketchup

The final task for the class ENVT 0031 is to create a garden using Sketchup (or other 3D modeller program) following the guidelines in the brief.

Once created then 5 image bases are to be generated:

1x Axonometric
1x Isometric
3x Eye level sketch perspectives

(Note: Having done research on Axonometric drawings there are three types of of projections including: Isometric, Dimetric and Trimetric projections.

Within Sketchup it is easy to create an Isometric projection by selecting the Parallel projection option and under Standard views, selecting Iso from the list. With regards to making an Axonometric projection there is no option to do this in Sketchup. I have therefore estimated the angle for an Axonometric drawing based on examples I have found on the internet. In any case when asking for an Axonometric I am assuming that this can be one of the three possible choices as explained previously.)

Below are a series of images showing the garden:

Axonometric View:

Isometric View:

Eye Level View (No. 1):

Eye Level View (No. 2):

Eye Level View (No. 3):

 In addition I have included a Plan View here to help show the layout of the garden:

The next stage is to then print off these images, trace them using a black pen and scan them back into the computer at 400dpi (1 Bit). The line drawings are then opened in Photoshop and using the brush and bucket fill tools colour is added to the images. People are then added to give human scale. 

Each stage of workflow is then recorded and finally the 5 rendered images are to be mounted on an A1 sheet.

Task 4 - Night Time Photomontage

The next stage was to create a night time image of my selected design.

Using photoshop, tools such as dodge and burn were used to manipulate the image to give it a night time effect. In addition extra layers which are colour filled with blue / black are also used to as an overlay to the design.

Here is the finished result:
