Hugo Häring – Lamella Roof

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:

tubes pavilion

This is a little PanelingTools/rhino/3dstudio/HDR experiment. The panelingtools part was quick and very straightforward, then I dropped it into a home made HDR dome environment in 3d studio and applied a translucent material to the tubes.

I’ve no idea what its meant to be, just a result of getting carried away with panelingtools!
