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

Publix at Mercer

Publix Supermarket_ Mercer University (2016)
Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Commercial, Grocery, Pharmacy

For the projects going on with Mercer University, I decided to pretend designing a Publix Supermarket across Interstate 75 from Mercer University. The reason why across the highway, well for a few reasons; 1. Great location(probably not for real since places are currently there), 2. If a local grocery store opened on campus, and later on, Publix opens on campus, more likely it would interfere with the local store which was there first, 3. It's funny that the Mercer campus, herself, is having this nice appearance, but once you go across I-75 (going west), you see these swamps, vacant homes, and shattered lots, 4. The location was great for me trying something new, like a store over a parking deck....which was what I did.
About the structure, The grocery store is on the second level while the parking deck is on the first. The road elevates going west, allowing the pedestrian entrance to be on the second level, and the rear, and only, entrance to the bottom parking deck on the first level. The windows, on the front of the store, are just an outside view from inside the store. I also partially gated the front side, and the pedestrian walkways as an intermediate idea that Mercer has done throughout their campus, which includes the Publix at Mercer sign (at the bottom left).
Note, This wouldn't have to be Publix, but a small grocery store in general. This could just add another option especially for students living on Mercer campus, or those living in the neighborhood.

This is a Thea Render view of the similar scene from the top picture.

This is a view from the bottom part of the store. You can also see windows that allow you to see through the parking deck.

This is the second level pedestrian entrance. Also, I thought of a possible ice cream shop. I used brand Pinkberry as an example, there can be other options (including SunTrust Bank which is Publix's regular recessive tenant.), but I just placed in Pinkberry since it's new in town. (However, Even though their ice creams are delicious (to my opinion), they can be pricey)

 

Publix entrance from the parking deck. Now this can vary, if this were a real project. Once you enter, all you have to do is take stairs, escalator, or elevator to the second level, and you'll be in the pedestrian entrance foyer.

 



This is a 360 degree video of the building. I thought of doing a front, back, left, and right JPEG image but there were specific parts that needed to be seen such as the details of the pedestrian entrance.

This is a directory of the store. This should be clear to anyone who still doesn't understand the store structure. Please do note, Publix is commonly arbitrary with their store designs. Some other brands, such as Target do the same, but Publix is free-spirited when it comes to their store structure. For example, in Atlantic Station(Atlanta, Georgia), the Publix is about the size of only two New York apartments. Another example, The Publix at Perimeter in Sandy Springs, Georgia, has a vertical store structure, and is pretty small compared to an average grocery store(but large to the Atlantic Station store). Many Publix designs, and structures, don't have the horizontal, football field size, and walk-in, walk-around, and walk-out entrances, and new  structure idea's interest me enough to participate in it.

 

My apologize for not informing this on the map, but Mercer University is East of the intestate in this picture, where you see the ramps.

Relating Facts, Where I designed a Best Buy, which is literally across this interstate, but on the other side of Mercer University Drive, they are planning restaurant/tenant spaces and a hotel on that very site. 

This is an un-rendered Publix Comedy video that I did in Maya software, back in 2014.
THIS DOESN'T RELATE TO THE BUILDING, but to the brand logo.

Perilnorth Middle School

Perilnorth Middle School (2015)
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.
Educational, School

This new school would sit on the current location of the current Strawberry Mansion Middle/High School. The old building would be imploded and the new building reconstructed from scratch. The middle school is a three level middle school, that carries each grade level. The exterior color is purple, but the school color could vary. I also placed a fountain in the middle of the diagonal turn lane, and also a more structured parking lot with a more fresh environment. This could feed into the Strawberry Mansion High school, which I redesigned down the street. So, Instead of being a middle and a high school, clumped together and taking up one space, the middle school has the land all to itself.

The picture above, and the pictures below are four renders of the building. This is the show the more realistic views of the school.

This huge asphalt spot in the middle is actually where the dumpster would be located in the picture above. The building to the left in that picture is the theater which sits on top of the gym which takes up two floors of the building.

 

The picture above shows the academic and the science wing. First level carries the 6th grade, Second level would carry the 7th grade, and Third would carry the 8th level, unless the system functions otherwise.

 

This is a 360 degree turn video. Watch and Enjoy the 3-Dimensional view.

 

This is the inside original directory of where everything is located. The gray areas indicate that the area takes up both the first and second floor. There are many great advantages on designing the school, with it having it's own campus.

Perilnorth Middle school is known for it being able to have issues, but still some student can make it, some can't. But, Remember, The school design may have an impact on students. The new campus is just a new environment and the erase of the previous one.

Film, Sequence Animation

 

Meet Michelle, She's a young teenager who's depressed most of the time, especially the stressful mornings that she gets up, and knows she has to deal with work, school, or any obstacles that day, and she's not really stable, knowing that her room is a mess and liquor is in the hallway etc. Also, Her boyfriend was just in bed with her last night but he had to get up early and leave, which could be told by the open sheets as you see her bedroom in the opening scene.

About the film, I designed everything using SketchUp, Photoshop, Gimp, and After Effects. I also used YouTube as my sound library. I did not want anything professional, but something that looked close enough to a cartoon. This is also one of my rarest motion cartoons with 2D Animation skills. The film is simple and only 50 seconds.

 



Michelle's halfway turnaround consist of front, side, and also three-quarter view.

This is the bedroom and just photo's without extra materials and objects. The mac was barely shown in the scene where Michelle leaves her room, and in the picture below, the busted cabinet is never shown. Also, The covers were not added if you can see the bed, with just the mattress.

The kitchen is just a simple designed kitchen.  I designed this kitchen in a bit of a disrepair on purpose to show that it's hardly ever taken care of, even though it's just been renovated.(Personal info: The way this kitchen is set up, such as the refrigerator and the stove, is almost similar to how my dad's kitchen looks).

This is the floor plans and scene plans for the film. Again, I wanted to make this film as simple as possible. The red dot shows Michelle, and the gray camera symbol stands for where the camera is located.

This picture shows what the two miss doing and the film show's what they're going through now.....well at least, what Michelle goes through every morning after 8 a.m.
