For my final project in Ends 170 I recreated my physical house model from my studio on the computer using revit. I based my design on the word resilient, and tried to use simple curves and lines to best depict resilience. We were also required to create a garden space around the house. I modeled this after my actual house, trying to reflect the inside of the house in the outside. We also had limitations in space, since the house had to be approximately 8000 cubic feet. Revit made it extremely easy to calculate the volume of our house so that we knew how big our house actually was.
When transferring my project to the computer I simply copied the structure using the walls, floors, and roof tools on revit. I made the curving walls using the arc tool. I also altered the actual site by adding a property line to make sure I stayed within our 50' x 100' plot of land. To indicate where there was grass, cement, or water I created subregions within the property line and then simply changed the material to whatever I wanted it to be. I also added different furniture and plants by simply loading different families from the library. I enjoyed how easy revit made it to change the material of objects and choose varying types of objects. My only critic of the modeling part of Revit would be that more abstract forms were rather difficult to create. However, I did enjoy how easy it was to make standard walls, floors, and roofs. I also experimented with different materials on my house to enhance my design. I rendered 2 stills from my final model, an interior and exterior shot by simply setting up cameras where I wanted them. These were very easy to render on revit. Both of my stills are rendered in high quality, but my interior shot took an hour and a half to render, whereas my exterior took about ten minutes to render because it did not have any furniture to render.
I then made a sun study of my house in Bryan set for August 5th, from sunrise to sunset. Revit also made this very simple. I simply entered my location, date, and time, and set up a view, and revit did the rest. I was able to render the frames on high quality because there were only 54 frames total.
Finally, I created a walkthrough of my house. This was harder to do because I had to move each point on my camera path to exactly where it needed to be. This made the process very lengthy. When I finally set my camera path to where I wanted it, I rendered te video on medium quality because I did not have the time to render it on high.
