I wanted to create a spectacular sc-fi scene with architecture. On this project I used lightwave 3d for modeling.Lightwave is really good to design amazing and organic shapes. First I modelise the whole shape such as the glass structure on the right and the metal structure all around it.
Shows you the glass structure ( in grey ) and the metal structure ( wireframe black ).
Shows you the wireframe. I modelized 4 or 5 different elements, than i modify and duplicate them to create this big glass structure. I was inspired by squids and octopussies for the whole shape.
An other detail from the glass structure.
The metal structure is made of simple elements duplicated, they compose an intricate structure which gives dynamic lines for the final camera. I wanted to create a structutre like the famous architect Renzo Piano. He works with simples elements and gives to them a fonction which create an attractive shape.
This structure contrast with the organic glass shape.
You can have a look on details, they show you the simple design of the structure.
