Started my bachelors degree in Architecture earlier this year, not very sure of whether it would be a good choice. But oh man I am enjoying it! This is the fourth ever 3d model I have made. For this project we had to use Enscape. I am quite amazed how powerful of a tool Rhino is combined with Enscape. It isn’t really fleshed out yet, I worked on it for about 2 days. Any feedback is appreciated!!!
This was the study model I based my construction on.
I like it already, and thanks for sharing your work here and asking for feedback too!
Right away, I’d love to see some other angles from the main building (at different times too) and I think you definitely also further want to work a bit further on your surroundings - Vegetation wise especially, so check out some inspiration when it comes to diversity/complexity and what others have achieved so far in this blog article here.
Also never hurts to link this blog article here as well, sooner or later it should come in handy. And if any specific questions come up, let us know here, and feel free to check out the blog as a whole in general and/or our tips, tricks&tutorials section.
Foam=Mass
Chipboard=Plane
Dowel=Vertical or Horizontal Elements
From the massing model to your Rhino model, the dowel are clear but the planes and masses start to become blurry.
Think about how a plane can be expressed and what materials are best expressed as masses. Stick with a clear vocabulary and the next translation will look more expressive and representative to your massing model. Good first iteration though, Cheers.
Thanks
The task was to make a useable space derived from our model, so some differences here and there don’t make or break the design. I do however think I could do a lot better with the way I use enscape. My models don’t look professional or properly finished I think. Here are some of my later attempts.
They aren’t really convincing…? I am not so sure what to think of them …
What I was trying to convey was your use of texture and glass in you Enscape model begins to break down your massings and architectural moves as a whole. Be more intentional with the glass in locations. I would recommend a different Enscape texture on the outside for your massings, It is very busy. Lucky for you it’s a click of a button
