alleyway behind Lizzie's

alleyway behind Lizzie's (2016)
location undetermined
Fictional, 3D Personal Project, street scene


Just by looking at the picture above, you can tell this place is pretty dangerous to an average human being. Well, Behind a bar called 'Lizzies', there's been a lot of consequences to anyone who thinks they can come and take up charge. There've been incidents inside the bar, but behind the bar is where most the dirty business happens; people getting stabbed, people folded up and shoved inside of trashcans, vandalism, not to mention four people were decapitated at one time, and most of the evidence was cleaned up, with the exception of the remaining blood stains that still remain in front of the back door. All of this is made up, but of course it just explains how the scene is modeled the way it is.

Nothing in this picture but just a box wrap, another garbage can, and whatever. Some of the bricks are pretty long on this wall, especially. Also, The bars in the window are bent, and God knows what's going on inside, despite the light being on.

I designed this entire scene in Autodesk Maya. I also had to do compositing in Photoshop to combine textures to one another. The purpose was to just work on some typical late night scene in an alleyway.

"Wanna feel dizzy, Come to Lizzie's."



Bad Lust

Bad Lust (2016)
Sandy Springs, Georgia, U.S.A.
Mixed-Use, Studio Apartments

Bad Lust would be a bad idea to actually construct now. Let me state why, and why I'm bringing this subject up, first. One of the current buildings sitting in the place of Bad Lust is a brand new Burger King that was remodeled only a few years back. They tore down the original structure and designed this more fancy like one. I liked the new building, and did feel bad just a little bit that it would have to be demolished only after three years of standing. The reason of bringing this up first is, well, to honor the new style that was constructed, the new Bad Lust building would have the same material as the new Burger King; The red cladding, the dark with lines focal point, the tan cladding, and the gray sun setters, and also I put BK as one of the building anchors (Yeah, Just by looking at the logo you can tell)
Bad Lust would consist of no more than 42 or 41 studio apartments, and commercial tenants on the first level, including Burger King. This complex would have NO POOL, and Burger King would have NO DRIVE THRU for Eco-friendly reasons.

About the parking, There is at least one parking space per residential tenant, and a few more just incase. Commercial parking however is limited in space, unless there's an alternative. Another idea would be to park at the nearby City Walk Kroger nearby.

I used a unique lighting case on the building. It's gray, but I gave it pentagon like circular shape. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, Look at the gray objects on the dark lined material where Burger King is, there's one between each window on the third floor.

The 360 degree video should show enough of the complex. I took shots of close-up images of the tenant space so people could see those as well, and maybe pause if the video's going too fast.

FACT, Sandy Springs actually did plan the site design of Bad Lust. The image above shows the city's real revitalization plan. The exception is that the real plan was ONLY Retail, NOT Mixed-Use. (I circled the Bad Lust location in red)
The map was designed around 2012, and the plan to extinguish the current Burger King, and another occupant could actually happen since the city is trying to have a more downtown look along Roswell and the streets that go across it, but, major city projects differ as the city gets more advance into their plans. (On the map, look at the street where you see those two roundabouts and they diverge into two streets, That blue colored building in the middle, was changed into this performing arts theater etc.)

The purpose of the title 'Bad Lust' is to show how tempting lust is of the world, and how it can lead to evil, if not guilt.

PPG's Bedroom

PowerPuff Girls Bedroom (2016)

Central Townsville_fictional

Scenery, Cartoon, TV Show

Sugar, Spice, and everything nice; These were the ingredients to design a custom bedroom for the perfect little girls, but I accidentally added an extra ingredient to the poly meshes, Mia Material X...

....Thus the Powerpuff Girls bedroom is done! I probably could've did better, but my time was limited.

 I am still getting comfortable with the current 2016 series. Most of the new episodes, I've seen so far, aren't that bad. However, I decided to design this scene of the three girls bedroom in classic style, from the older series. [In the video above, I also used the classic logo and theme song instead of the new ones.]

If the video above doesn't work for your browser, click this link THIS LINK 



Forgive me if I left anything important out, I was able to design the hotline, the bed, the dresser drawers, the chest (with Octi), the stuffed dog and standing cat, the kiddie table, and a few drawings on the wall etc. The MOST IMPORTANT thing I remembered to design was the three circular holes of entrance and exit, as the shortcut that the three girls always take.

The table just has an orange juice bottle, crayons, and an unfinished drawing. I wanted the bed to be more accurate to the series, but The bed style varies from season to season. Overall, Buttercup sleeps on the left, and then it goes over to Bubble's on the right, while Blossom's in the middle.

So, I guess you wonder what awesome things Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup do when they're in their room. Look at this concept image from the series, and this is one of them.





3461

3461 (2016)
Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Commercial

This is a three story commercial plaza that caries at most two tenants per level. I used pink and green to show something new when it comes to moderate buildings. 3461 is given it's name by it's possible address number alongside Pio Nono Avenue. The building would replace a current commercial plaza that also has at most six tenant spaces. (Most of the names on the sign come from the businesses in the current plaza.)

The building has one elevator and one stairway. Only the first floor tenant spaces have emergency exit doors outside. The upper floors have back exits to a back hallway that takes them to the restrooms, elevator, and stairway. In the picture above this paragraph, The two door entrance leads to the staircase.

 

This is an amateur picture of how the new plaza would occupy the lot. Just by looking at the 'before' picture, you can tell that there's not much land. Well, 3461 would take up most the land, and like in the current plaza, there aren't a lot of parking spaces. The purpose isn't to attract more people, but re-style the building prototype.

 



 

A 360 degree video of the building. It's a very small basic building....

 

 ....Even if you look in the directory, you could tell building would be very novice. It would make little sense to get lost. On each level, at most two tenants to the left, a restroom, a stairway, an elevator. There are two maintenance closets, and also an elevator equipment closet. The red dots show exits, or entrances.

A site plan of 3461. This really is nothing big. I just wanted to take an average typical plaza, that anyone could just drive by and not really care for, and turn it into this 3 story indoor plaza.

Peer Pressure

Peer Pressure (2016)
Downtown Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Mixed-Use Development

Peer Pressure is a combination of commercial tenants, possible office space, and studio apartments. There isn't to be much new about this with the exception of it standing out in the heart of Downtown Macon. The orange and blue is common in the city, especially since Central High's colors are orange and blue. The colors, however, are more desaturate. The building has four levels. The first level is the commercial tenant space. From the second level to the fourth level will be studio apartments. On each floor, All Studio Apartments are alike, excluding the ones on the upper end, which have a washer and dryer lounge, while other apartment tenants would need to use the laundry room on the possible second level. The third level above the laundry room, would be the administration for the entire building. The fourth would be the fitness center. Next to the tenants on the first floor, there is an indoor pool hall. The building consist of two elevators, and two stairways. Each level has two exits directly to the parking deck, except the fourth level. The parking deck rises until it reaches the third level. The parking deck has two entrances/exits. The garbage disposal is in the upper end.

 

As you can see, The commercial tenants on the first floor, and the residential tenants on the second floor to the fourth floor. Each studio apartment has a balcony. There are seven apartments per floor.

  

 

This video shows a 360 degree view of the building.

 

This is an inside directory of the building. This could vary if really existed.
 

 

For those familiar with the Macon area, The building sits between Second street and Pine street. Peer Pressure is just a positive inspiration towards the city.

 



Blaine Elementary School

James G. Blaine Elementary School (2016)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
Education, Academics

Blaine Elementary School(currently known as Blaine Academics Plus) is a prototype copy of Perilnorth Middle School, which was a project I had done earlier. The gym, cafeteria, auditorium, and the front building have a complete similarity to the middle school, which is only streets North of the possible new Blaine Elementary. The difference would be the rear 'science' hall is shorter than the middle school. The first level of the science wing is not science rooms, but has preschool-kindergarten age rooms, for safe exit reasons. The design of the school is another difference, such as Blaine not having a metal roof, but arch's instead.

This is the render of the playground and from the back of the gym/auditorium building(left), and also the primary/science wing building(right). Enclosed with the playground is the asphalt pavement with the basketball hoops and also a yet clear space.

This is just a more Low Resolute image.

The Bus line would be on the North end of the building. This would vary for any reason, but until so, I decided to place the line next to the front entrance. The blue shader is the same height as one floor of the building.

360 degree video of the building. Try and watch this, and the one for Perilnorth Middle, to tell the similarity of the two buildings.

The directory of the school building does relate to Perilnorth Middle, as well. Try and view this and the directory of the middle school to tell the similarity. Remember, Because this is an elementary, there are noticeable differences.

This is the school site plan. North 31st Street would be a mistake, but it's not. Stanley Street would have to be razed to make way for space. There are many alternatives to avoid this idea. In general though, Blaine Elementary School is just a ideal pair with the Perilnorth Middle School.

Gryffindor Common Room

School Project Adv. Texture & Lighting_ Art Institute of Atlanta (2016)
Gryffindor Common Room_ Harry Potter Series setting
Setting: Hogwarts School, Highlands of Scotland, U.K.
Classwork, Book Series, Mythological


I decided to post something abnormal. I never had time to design random buildings, and any other usual ideas. I had a long-term online class assignment from Adv. Texturing and Lighting, which was to design a realistic looking setting of a scene from a book. I knew no other books but Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and the Bible. The books that I did know didn't have interesting settings. I decided to work on something not that big a deal, which was a random choice of the common room of the Gryffindor House of Harry Potter.
This is one of the hardest work I put forth for a class. This is also one of the projects I used to make the scene via Maya Autodesk.
Because I admired my effort on the project, I decided to count this as one of my unofficial building designs. This is also one of my few interior designs. This is also the first pseudo art renderings to not be so false, since this is based off the Harry Potter Books and the Movies as well.

This image above this paragraph, and the two images below are just images I took, by mental ray, as I progressed through the texturing stage. I made changes from these pictures and the final picture on the very top of the post.



The picture above is the ambient occlusion of the scene. It took me a while to find a way to show the image with just this pass.

The picture above is the z-depth of the scene. It also took me a while to show this pass, as well. I also have the sunlight removed on this image.

The picture above is the sunlight ONLY of the scene. This was also one of the scenes that I was required to make to composite this, and many other one-pass scenes, into a multi-pass image.

Earlier image with one plain skinless mia texture. Before anyone says anything, Yes, the lighting is awful, the sunlight is absent, but understand that this is for a time-limited class. The picture below also shows the original window, and also the size of the fireplace. You can tell, I didn't start off the way I finished.

This is a Maya un-rendered image of the design. This is later on in the final render stage.  

This was what I was suppose to compose. It's not like the common room I designed, but this image was what I mostly followed.

All Is Well
