Show shadows, how light goes through the building.
Site relationship to the context, what is happening in the background, which other buildings are present, how it relates to the street.
Prerequisites
Existing 3D model of building
Make sure all surfaces are continuous and all pieces are aligned, this is done by making sure all curves are continuous before they become extruded
Make sure you don’t have any open faces in the model, only solids
Window planes should be individual elements between moleons, avoid continuous plans through other objects. Same for columns, have sets of columns for each floor, instead of continuous ones through the building
Camera settings - 1-point perspective, 35-50mm
Set up 3-4 new layers
Cut
Foreground
Background
Other (structure, particular objects of interests…)
