Group Feedback? Final (2) Perspective, Elevation, Section, Plan, Sketch

During the group feedback people pointed out to me that the background of my perspective, section and plan was too dark. They recommended to make the background as bright as my elevation "drawing". This was to show the contrast between the "colourful" outside and the "dark, black and white" inside. I was not too sure about that idea to be honest. I deliberately had left the background in a distinct colour palette for each image. I thought I would make the outside really colourful for the elevation to mirror the colours of my actual design. Images showing the inside would have a dark, cold background to describe the feeling of entering a room like that. Black words, white paper, etc. However, I gave my group's idea a try.

Furthermore, my group pointed something out that should be improved, too. My plan drawing was very confusing. I had realised that as well however had not come up with a good solution to change it yet. Someone suggested to use the image I was using as my sketch (painting) and incorporate a new image of my plan. The image I was using as a plan should be my new sketch. I thought this was a great idea.

Here are the results.


1: Plan (initial Sketch)

2: Section of 1, that shows the actual Plan drawing

3: Elevation

4: Perspective

5: Section

6: Sketch (initial plan)

I love it.


final (1) plan, elevation, perspective, section


At the moment, my elevation (image 1) and section (image 3) are in perspective as well as the actual perspective drawing (image 2). That is because I was experimenting which image I liked best as the perspective drawing. However I think I will rework my photoshop images to make the elevation (image 1) and the section (image 3) like they are supposed to be and go with my initial perspective drawing (image 2) as the perspective. 

Also, I think I will have to rework my Plan. I think it is a bit confusing the way it is right now....

Model in Cry Engine

Unfortunately I could not manage to completely import my final Sketch up design. Some parts are missing. If I went back to Sketchup and changed it, it did not change it in Cry Engine as well. The extension of one wall was randomly extended, though. However I decided to play with my Design in Cry Engine by multiplying what had been imported. The result was quite interesting. I also enjoyed the time of day tool that allows you to apply different light effects and moods to your design. Here are my screenshots:
