Very low relief warehouse

[edp2]

Hi

 

This is a simple idea I had for producing a factory background. I found some photos on cgtextures and used them to create a very low relief background but the same method could be used to produce a building.

 

This is 4 sets of the photos I started with

 

 

 

I made a little test piece of wall made from grey card and some scalescene papers

 

 

 

It's not quite sized right but is the effect I wanted. I them took the full size sheet of card and marked up the windows and concrete

Cut out all the windows

 

 

 

Printed scalescene bricks on to full sheet labels. Folded back the window sections and scored and removed the concrete areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Added the sills and the taped the windows to the back of the card

 

 

 

 

 

That's it nearly finished. it needs the top of the wall finishing off and then some weathering.

 

Hope this is of interest.

I'll try and find out why there's no photos and repost.

Better but not perfect! Will not edit it again.

Hi

 

I did a liitle more work on the warehouse today. The top of the wall has been trimmed and finished with a strip of card to represent coping stones. I've then weathered it as far as I dare with some thin black paint. I've photographed it in 3 different lights.

 

 

 

 

This type of warehouse usually has internal downspouts. One of the warehouses at work is similar to this building. Old metal downspouts have a nasty habit of leaking into electrics, never mind their ability to leak over something valuable. I suspect the original idea was to keep the building more secure from robbery.

 

Anyway this is quite a simple method to produce a building, especially the windows.

 

Thanks for looking
