Finishes and materials in drawings

Wall panels

The most common option for finishing walls with wood is natural wooden panels, as well as a cheaper option - laminated MDF panels or MDF/LDSP laminated panels with a tree pattern or tinted.

MDF panels are 40 mm thick and can be mounted on the wall with mounting glue. By changing the size of the panels, you can create a stylish drawing of the composition. Such panels can be created in 3dsMAX using the FloorGenerator modifier or using Box+Chamfer+Smooth and resized in

Editable Poly mode (more details on creating materials with geometry below).

It is also actually possible to imitate wall panels by installing a U-shaped or T- shaped profile in the plaster of the wall. The profile can be painted.

Wall panels can be presented in the form of ceramic panels or large-format ceramic granite. Dimensions vary up to 3500 mm on the larger side. Such a covering is also created using the FloorGenerator script.

Kf.School Ua | Eng | Pl | Fr | Pr

3. Ceramic granite and ceramic tiles

All wall coverings such as porcelain stoneware and ceramic tiles are physically created in 3dsMAX using the FloorGen script, adjusting joint width, tile size and smoothness of faces. To create a material that will correspond to each element of the coating, you need to use Multitexture.

All shaped elements are created by modeling an element and copying it.

4. Paint

The paint is created by the material. The physical qualities of paint in 3dsMAX are characterized by the degree of gloss: matte, semi-matte, semi-glossy, glossy. (See the "Materials" section)

5. Decorative plaster and micro concrete.

From the point of view of physical properties, decorative plaster and microconcrete is created by mixing pastes that can acquire different physical appearance under the influence of tools (scrapers, brushes, brushes). Accordingly, plaster has a denser layer than painting, this must be taken into account in real time, laying a thicker layer of plaster in the area of ​painting at

the junction with plaster (if the wall has two types of coating on the same plane).

Decorative plaster can have a completely different texture, it is created with the Reflect Glossiness, Reflection and Bump maps

CHAPTER 2.1. The work of a 3d visualizer consists of a large number of processes that require time and attention. Each project is not similar to the previous one, but despite this, there are processes that are repeated from project to project. It is precisely such moments that need to be optimized, brought to a single format

and thus save time and effort.

SCRIPTS In our opinion, optimizing the work of the visualizer consists of several points, which we will talk about in this chapter.

Optimizing work in 3dsMAX came to our Scripts, which are an addition to the mind after our studio started to hit the program and successfully help in financial ceiling, which is why we solving various tasks, which inevitably decided to apply different hypotheses lead to increased work efficiency and that we thought could lead to positive reduced time spent, are the first step in

results. this process.

In the course of testing different versions, we have come to a set of the most effective tools that help speed up and systematize the process, allowing the brain to rest in places where its work is not needed.

Composition In Photography And Graphics

Composition is perhaps the most important subject in art. A composition can be a work of art in itself. To create it, you can use shape, color, textures, light or all together.

To begin with, to move on to the topic The law of unity says that if you remove of Sorona Camera, we need to say a few any element from the composition, the words about composition in the composition will look inferior. classical sense, as well as from the point

of view of interior photography. The Unity fills the image with content, composition plays the most important places each element of the project in role in the construction of the frame. the right place and brings the Understanding composition in the relationship of all elements into a state

classical sense will help you understand of harmony and balance. Unity the principles of creating three- determines the state of the entire dimensional illustration, and the basics composition and regulates both the of interior photography will help you relationship of individual elements to

build frames for your interior scenes. the overall design and their relationships. Composition in art is built according to several laws: the law of unity, balance and the law of dominance.

Unity can be achieved in several ways:

CHAPTER 7

Balance, symmetry and golden ratio

Бібліотека

Law of equilibrium Any work of art must be balanced for harmonious perception. Even an unusual composition is subject to the law of balance, because this is the only way it will look complete. What does it mean?

When the author depicts any objects in his work, he places them on the plane of the sheet or canvas, taking into account not only the composition of the objects, but also including the free space of the canvas in the composition. The distribution of objects in a letter can create a sense of

movement, elimination, balance, etc.

The composition can be static or dynamic. The static composition radiates a sense of calm, the viewer does not get the impression that the objects are trying to move somewhere from the page, the author does not invite to think through the development of the scenario.

With a dynamic composition, everything is quite the opposite - the author places objects as if depicting movement or a dance of objects, creating a plot with development.

KF.SCHOOL UA | ENG | PL | FR | PR Робота студентки

Symmetry and asymmetry in a balanced composition. The easiest way to achieve balance is to place the object in the center. Then the left and right sides of the composition will be the same, as if reflected in a mirror, thus our composition will be symmetrical. Symmetry

can also be achieved by placing two identical objects from two parts of the sheet, in this case, you can also place an object in the center and our composition will be symmetrical again.

In the case of such simple compositions, the objects you depict should be as original as possible.

There is another composition scheme - asymmetrical. This is when the left and right sides of the picture are different. It was she who became popular because of her dynamism. Artists are more interested in asymmetry because it is more alive. But how to balance an asymmetric

composition in which the left and right sides, by definition, should not be the same?

Kf.School Ua | Eng | Pl | Fr | Pr

Work of a student 136

The authors achieve balance in asymmetric compositions by balancing the composition with masses. That is, we kind of add the missing mass (by mass we mean size), placing a few more small objects in the part of the work where the smaller object is located to balance with

the large object located in the other part of the sheet. It will be asymmetry and balance at the same time.

Techniques can be completely different: symmetry, diagonal, centric, as well as the golden section. The golden section is the most profitable version of the composition, which allows you to achieve the harmony of the image, following only one rule - the rule of thirds.

Work of a student 137

Golden ratio - (golden proportion, otherwise: distribution in the extreme and average ratio, harmonious distribution) is the best, unique ratio of parts and the whole, in which the ratio of the parts to each other and of each part to the whole is equal. Such relations are observed in nature, in science and art.

Various systems and methods of proportioning in architecture are based on "golden sections". Source Wikipedia.

This name first appeared in 1509 during the Renaissance, but was known and widely used by ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and ancient Greece.

The calculation of the ratio of parts to the whole has a certain formula (for more information on the golden ratio, please follow the link), but for convenience you can remember the percentage ratio of 62% to 38% or 6:4.

Let's see how it works on the example of renderings and analyze some compositions from examples of our works.

These exercises will help you understand the 3dsMAX tools at a professional level and teach you to get a feel for the lighting scheme and material properties.
