Hello seminar participants "Perspective & Foto"

What should you present after the P&F-seminar?

All our seminar exercises with ArchiCAD (lesson 1-5)

lesson 1: basics in perspective construction

lesson 2: reconstructing orthographic views from a photography with horizontally view (Bauhausmensa),

lesson 3: construction of a Cube in a perspective with 3 vanishing points

lesson 4: reconstructing the situation plans from fisheye distorted photography

lesson 5: creating the perspective birds view from a satellite photo

Each participant should generate a commented gif-animation of one of the exercises 1-5 (please decide yourself who makes which lesson). Remember, you can use the ArchiCAD layer functionality to generate the construction steps with it.

lesson 6: generating a3D-mass-model using a 2D-DWG-plan in C4D (result off a groups work (with several renderings 2048 * 1536 pixel)

7. calibrating a camera to a given photo or perspective view by using you own examples, (with several renderings 2048 * 1536 pixel)

Put all the content within a pdf-file. It would be great to present the gif-animations while our summary at 09. 07. I have five presentation panels 800 * 600 pixel which you could use for that. The rest could be delivered after winter semester start.

best regards

lesson 7: callibrating a camera to a photo and getting the 3D-model

edit ~ 0 kommentare/fragen ~ 19. Mai 2015 11:24

Hello P&F friends

here an example for your special situations.

- callibrate a new camera in c4D R16 (you can use the camera values in C4D R12 too)

- remove the kallibration nail to bring the camera in a correct height.

- generate a fitting cube for your building (you need the length of one edge to get the correct scale factor).

- undistorted the facades in photoshop and generate materials from them in C4D.

- transform the fitting cube to a polygon object and separate the two facade polygons to "frosted selections" an name them.

- apply the facade-materials to the facade ploygons by telling the materials, which poly-selection they are fore.

Dear Seminar participants,

the dwg-fileonly contains 2d-informations. For it is not to be opened within C4D R12, I reconverted and saved it in ArchiCAD 18 under GAZA.dwg. Now you can use it in C4D R12.

After opening the browser shows a huge list of 2d-Objects. Using the layer-browser (Shift F4) make all layers invisible but not the buildings-layer. Now make some empty objects (for each quartier one). Fill the Quartiers with the fitting Polyline objects (each building has a polyline Object which contains 4 ore more polylines. Make a new layer for each quartier in the layer-manager.

In google earth have a look at the buildings shadow lengths to imagine the different building heights. For each quartier sort the polyline folders (building ground plans) into about three folders (one, two and three floors).
Converte all the Polyline folders of the same floor number to splines using the "Grundobjekte konvertieren" tool.

activate all splines of the same floor number and use the function "verbinden und löschen" (connect and delete) to make one multiple sprite object from them. Create an Extrude Nurbs object and put the connected sprite in it. Fill in the extrusions height (y-value of the Extrusions objects attributes) and delete the 200 in the Z-value to 0. Continue the last steps for each group of splines with different floor numbers.

The satellite foto as background picture into the ground view is already calibrated (without aspect automatic) with the cites dwg but will not appear till you load the hires background image into the ground views background. to do this download bayt-Hanun_left and -right to Photoshop to connect the two half images again. Make a new Material using the same background picture. Make a new Ebene-object and use the last created material for it and convert ist to a polyobject. Adjust the the sattelitefoto with the help of the Ground views background picture. Use the activated material tag of the Ebebe to fit the material size to the Ebene-object.

The polylines of the first 29 quartiers are already separated and converted into splines. The splines of quartier 25 are already added and extruded to 6m. The single splines are still there. Have a look to step 1-5 (quartier1) to learn how the workflow from dwg-polyline to C4D extrusion object runs.

These are the essential steps to generate a 3D-City model from a 2D dwg plan.
