ENVT1093 - Hasan Sahin - Suite of 3 Renders - 30.11.2017

Future Representations - 3 Render suite
Unit 17

Sigiriya is an ancient rock fortress located in Sri Lanka. The name refers to a site of historical and archaeological significance that is dominated by a massive column of rock nearly 200 metres. The aim of our brief is to investigate the architecture of a proposed space elevator and the potential subsequent rapid urbanization of this historic place. This is all based on the narrative of Arthur C. Clarke's novel, "The Fountains of Paradise". I have created the topography of the model by using a combination of downloaded ArcGIS topo geometry and Google Eath PRO terrain in conjunction with information from "The Sigiriya Royal Gardens" by Nilan Cooray. For the geometry of the rock formation I have used surveys from "The Sigiriya Royal Gardens" book and modelled it using Artisan Organic Toolset ( a third party plugin software for Google Sketchup that allows for organic sculpting ) and images of the site taken by tourists.

I have also reproduced the historical site based on information in the "The Sigiriya Royal Gardens" by Nilan Cooray such as:



 the historic Lion Head entrance

 overall fortress and historic gardens

 
 Historic Temple

In this submission I have set out to give the 3 renders a different image composition. This is noticeable from the sketch drafts showing the compositional arrangements.

ENVT1093 - Hasan Sahin - Group 3 - Rhino Session 1 [11_1014] - 28.09.2017

The first Rhinoceros 3D session of our group was split into 2 exercises meant to teach a basic understanding of the software interface and simple commands.  Exercise 1 : We began by having a look at the distribution of the interface and tools in Rhino. The first thing we observe is that the viewports are split between 4 quadrants of Plan, 2 Elevations and Perspective which makes manipulating your object easy as you can switch viewports by simply hovering your mouse over them.  Afterwards we had a look at the command panels and other function panels of the software a - File & Edit tabs b - Rhino command log c - Advanced commands toolbars and tabs d - Layers panel f - Properties panel g - Line snapping options h - Drafting Views i - Common commands toolbar Next we had a look at the polyline tool. This is the most common tool used in Rhino as the basis of any modelling in this software relies on crating surfaces from "curves" (a...
