A detailed Sketchup model with low res textures. Go to pushpullbar for more images and to download. Or you can download it from drop.io but I don’t know how long that link will last.

Chelsea Square Day
A new project in my vizualisation gallery: Chelsea Square by Wilkinson King Architects. These images were for marketing purposes and were lots of fun to work on. The building was modeled in Sketchup and all textures were made from scratch from photographs. As usual with my projects, there wasn’t much post work in photoshop (apart from the cross section).
The caustics in the pool were calculated with all the glass hidden, saved and then the glass was turned back on for the final render. The actual water surface was modeled by dropping a ball into some reactor water, totally over the top I know!
I wanted the brick texture to match the existing building as closely as possible so I took photos of the end gable brick (in the shade) and then painted over every brick in photoshop. This was so that the displacement map worked correctly in displacing the bricks outwards while recessing the grout slightly, and also helped in the reflection map to make the grout less reflective. The traced bricks layer was used as a mask to lighten a greyscale copy of the diffuse layer. Painting over bricks in photoshop is as about as boring as it gets, but worth the effort.
Mendes da Rocha Residence
Something I started ages ago and need a new incentive to finish off. This is the Mendes da Rocha Residence in São Paulo, Brazil by Paulo Mendes da Rocha, 2006 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate.
The concrete material is temporary, and I have more internal walls to add, then the furniture. The Paulistano (by Mendes da Rocha) is the main reason I decided to model this house, I really needed a more suitable location for it than this room:
When its done, I intend to share the sketchup model on the pushpullbar forums, there will be an update here as well of course.
