Hugo Häring – Lamella Roof

Posted in examples by peterguthrie on November 3, 2008

A 3d diversion (away from proper work) inspired by fascinating photos on flickr by seier+seier+seier of an agricultural building by German architect Hugo Häring from the 1920s.

Modeled in rhino3d using panelingtools. The timber structural components ended up being curved which isn’t correct, and strictly speaking I could have modeled it using other methods. The trickiest part was probably working out the shape of the component. All dimensions are guessed… Rendered in 3dstudio with vray as always.

An example of a structure which would be much more difficult to model without panelingtools:

    What ever happen to this blog. I guess there are only so many ways you can use the paneling tools

    Cool model!
    Could you tell me the shape of the component?
    I’ve been trying to figure it out myself for hours… I can’t!
    Did you use the 2d or 3d pattern?
