Weekly reflection:

This week's lecture shows the pictures of abandonment of the buildings and this gives us the ideas of what kind of environment output we should do for the final submission. I also search some other similar topics pictures to allow me explore more knowledge on how to layer the objects to make them look realistic.

Research on Materials:

Concrete
the process of making：Concrete is comprised of different sizes of aggregate, sand, admixtures, water, and Portland cement. These raw materials are stored in silos or tanks on the site of the concrete plant. A computer-controlled dispensing machine selects and carefully weighs the materials needed to make the concrete mix specified by the client. These materials are then placed in the concrete mixer. While being transported, the drum of the concrete mixer turns on its axis and mixes the concrete. Upon arriving at the construction site, the concrete mix has a uniform, homogenous consistency. Concrete mixer operators deliver the concrete to the site in accordance with the client’s specifications.
 how long they will last：After research the result shows the concrete can last 16,000 years

Glass

the process of making： Glass is manufactured by melting sand, soda ash, dolomite and limestone together to produce a 3660mm wide continuous ribbon of glass.
 how long they will last：glass can last for very long time, like millions of years


Marble

the process of making：
1.Meltdown2.Injection3.Cutting and cooling
 how long they will last：about 200years

WEEK1

Progress of exporting Barcelona pavilion from 3ds max to Cryengine: 

Final result in Cryengine:

I also tried to export a try to cryengine, but some of the trees due to too many polygons and couldn't be exported, and i also found out that vray materias are not be able to export to cryengine.

1.Barcelona pavilion

The mix of using different materials such as the marble and the concretes makes the pavilion looks elegant, the use of these materials creates a secondary lighting and shows the continious volume of the building

 2. Rudin House

This house reveals a sense of simpicity, and i think the skylight on the top can receive a good lighting as well as the large window on the first floor can allow the house owner to see the landscape surrounded.

3.House at bordeaux

The most interesting point of this house is the structural system, it uses a long beam and a big square concrete box to support the upper level which creates a sense of balance.
