Two versions of an illustration for my current architectural project. As usual for images for this project, this is a collage/painting combining “arctic” (shadow and ambient occlusion only) Rhino renders with captured-to-file customized Rhino viewports, all layered in Photoshop and pixel-scrubbed/over-painted using a Wacom tablet. I used an AI (Adobe Firefly) to generate seamless tiling textures, applied in the Rhino model, for the weathering masonry and the faded “dystopian urban patina” graffiti. Rhino’s decal function was used to “stencil” the 1817 poem Incantation by Lord Byron on the panels of the inverted dome.
Originally I planned a square format for the illustration (just because it’s basically more challenging to compose), but because of some odd limitations on capturing viewports I had to render/capture-to-file the viewports in their rectangular entirety, so I went ahead and worked up a “wide-screen” version as well.
