Falkestrasse Coop Himmelblau HDRI Cheetah3D Animation-2

[acmrossonero123]

cual es mejor Cheetah3D Vs archicad (artlantis studio)???

@acmrossonero123

Pues, son programas muy diferentes: no existe una comparación en realidad. Además, Cheetah corre solo sobre Mac.

excellent work dude, kudos....

[timdanaher]

thank you!

I've sent you a PM about the questions that you asked...

Check out some of my other stuff!!

[zshreader]

!!!ZOMG!!! That is realy good. i mean holy crap man 5 stars man that is realy good

[bognarrules]

Again, awesome!!!

Look i'm an architect and this project simply inspire me so much!!! You give space a new dimension.

Whoah...I can't claim credit for this one...this is by Austrian architects Coop Himmelblau.

But thanks for the comment!

[UFNightWolf]

nice models! they look real! how long does it take you on average to make these?

[timdanaher]

Thanks! Umm...this one, I've been working on for two years....although the first workable version took me about 3-4 days, starting from scratch. The render took around 60 hours on a 2.0 GHz Mac Pro quad-core Xeon @ 15 fps.

[UFNightWolf]

do u make these for fun or for a company because i dont think this could be your hobby lol

[timdanaher]

This one was done for fun & experience. I've always wanted to understand that building, and thought the best way was to model it...

[Acheiropoietos]

Very impressive work. Where do you find the source material to produce such detailed models?

[timdanaher]

Thanks. Actually, this is simply eyeballed from the available photos on the web. It's taken me two years thus far. Every time I 'get' a new detail, it's back to the drawing board...for instance, there's a detail with the centre rib on the canopy that I can't get quite right on this model. It's so glaringly obvious, I can't understand how I missed it...and when I look at some of my earlier attempts, I get quite embarrassed...

Lovley... Is it safer to model this in SketchUp than in for example 3DS MAx or Maya? I assume Archicad is useless in this context, but havent really started using it yet. However i know about the incredible possibilitied hidden behind the stupid repeating textures and profile edges of SU

[timdanaher]

Yeah, actually I'd tried to model this before in LightWave and in form•Z -- SU was the only program that made it possible. The rendering S/W is Cheetah 3D - highly recommended (if you have a Mac). ArchiCAD is an incredible tool - but it's more production/BIM-oriented.

[blitzer26]

is this rendered in sketchup of taken into 3ds MAX? by the looks of the detail is seems a little bit out of sketchups league

[timdanaher]

No. All the modelling was done in SketchUp. You can see the original SketchUp model under my other videos. The rendering was done using Cheetah3D -- an incredibly inexspensive ($129) 3D app that has one of the best rendering engines out there.
