I like Zaha Hadid

These days I pay much attention to Zaha Hadid. She is an architect I admire very much. I like her architectural style.

Zaha Hadid architectural works made her popular and welcomed in academic circles and public. Some of her famous and outstanding projects are the German Vitra fire station, State gardening exhibition hall in Weil am Rhein, electricity station and parking lot of Strasbourg in France, ski-jumping board of Innsbruck in Austria, BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art of Cincinnati in the United States.

As a Chinese, to my impression, the Beijing Wangjing SOHO Showroom and  Guangzhou Opera House are also designed by Zaha Hadid. I was excited that my company frontop undertook the high-profile exterior and interior architectural rendering work of Wangjing SOHO. Besides, Frontop has cooperated with Zaha on many other projects, such as Beijing Galaxy Soho 3d rendering, Cairo Expo City, Sinapore Farrer Court and so on.

To the world, Zaha is an architect star; however, in China many people know little about Zaha Hadid. Now Zaha Hadid visits China regularly and communicates with Chinese architects. With the international
cooperation, architecture will develop better and better.

Architectural Rendering Production

Architectural rendering is not different from home rendering. Let's see the production methods togather.
1. 3D Modeling. Make models for main architectures and kinds of furnitures using 3d max. We can also make some models simply for small projects, such as some interior decorations, irregular projects or items that haven't strict requirements about sizes. Visual harmony for such items is OK, which can shorten the modeling time.
2. Render Output. Use professional rendering software VR to set the material, lighting and render, then output.
3. Further Process For Render. Use graphic editting software like Photoshop to modify the render.
A. Add surrounding environment like trees, cars, ships, ect.
B. The background can be done after finishing the 3d 3d visualization. But the perspective effect of the background should be coincident with the whole rendering. If so, our renderings or architectural visualization are more close to reality.
C. Further emphasize the whole effect, such as color, ratio, etc.

2011 Guangzhou Digital Family Fair

2011 Guangzhou Digital Family Fair was held on Sep.15th-Sep.18th, 2011. I was lucky to take part in the Fair. It was amazing. Wisdom Tianhe is a very important exhibitor, either a key project of Guangzhou in future five years, which was displayed at the base of "Coud Plan". On the booth, we can feel the beautiful future. Any requirement can be achieved on Internet in future. The brainpower of the Wisdom Tianhe is unexpected. The brainpower contains wisdom traffic, wisdom medical treatment, wisdom "ordering meals", governmental affairs service, citizens web, wisdom education, etc. All the items are showed by touch screen. Such touch screen was named "real touch" that was invented by Frontop, a rendering and animation company. I was proud of Frontop, because it participates such important and influential project. I believe Frontop business including architectural renderings, architectural animations, architectural visualization, interactive touch screen, virtual reality, 3D model, 3D illustration, interactive floor screen, etc. will develop better and better.

Advantages for the Integration of Presentation and 3D Graphics

Extraordinary Expression
Traditional graphic introduction is limited by the limitation of the mind. By integrating multimedia and 3d technology, we could simulate real environment or create a full range of 3d analysis. From part of building to the overall view, from real space to imaginative space, multimedia-aided 3d visualization technology can perfectly present the advantages of architecture.
High Accuracy
Architecture proposal presentation simplifies and anatomizes the complicated systems in the real world, which is often the most efficient solution. Architecture proposal presentation can assist us to convey information that is hard to explain through our own experience, give life to the graphics so the graphics can "talk" and communicate with human beings. An outstanding architecture proposal presentation can simplify abstract and complicated concepts, making then easier to be understood.
