Hi All, and welcome to my largest personal project yet
I’ve spend the last couple of weeks sparetime recreating one of my favorite houses… Philip Johnson’s Glass House in Connecticut, USA. I’ve visitet the place once, and since i’m probably not coming back soon, why not have a virtual version of this great piece of architecture
I’ve wanted to recreate the place rather accurately, and that has meant that i’ve created 95% percent of the models myself… the building and all the furniture are all created from drawings and reference photos, and the vegetation is made by myself in SpeedTree and then exportet to sketchup
The project IS NOT done yet.. i still need to finish some details and furniture, but when the whole model is ready, my plan is to make a high quality video of the place
The images here are just to show the current stage of the model, and are straigt from Enscape. Everything is 3D, including the whole background… alot might change before it’s done hope You enjoy!
Thank you very much! I’m trying to stay true to as many details as possible I think you are completely right, details is one of the key elements of realism. if just one thing looks off, it will pull the whole picture down
Thanks!! I hope the finished project will be even better
haha, yea, it would be lovely to do this detailed kind of grass right out of the box.. allthough it is quite heavy
nope, tho house itself does not give much privacy it probably helped alot that Philip Johnson ended up buying all the surrounding land as well, and sprinkled it all with private art galleries and big landscaping projects And thanks! i’m looking forward to sharing the future development with You
Thank you I get my trees from various sources… in this case I made them from the ground up with speedtree, in order to get the excact look of the real ones:-)
they were then importet to skecthup using simlaps composer software
The grass is made up of 6 different models, all scattered around using “skatter” for sketchup. most of the basemodels were found in the “tree link” above, but they are quite modified in order to keep performance ok
so you didn’t touch that with any sort of post pro. at this point looks like a marvel of real time imagery tbh. having in mind it has almost everything modeled it could be easily used for some video shots too.
Thank you only a tiny amount of color grading was done in post, so they are pretty raw And you are right, it is definitely the plan to make an animation of the whole project when it is done
