Aerial City Rendering

The purpose of this project was to learn to use Rhino 3D and Adobe Illustrator and demonstrate special awareness. First, In Illustrator, I abstracted an aerial photograph of Paris, France to draw an imagined city plan, highlighting important paths, districts, nodes, and landmarks.

Next, using Rhino, I created abstract objects to practice 3D manipulation techniques. These were formatted for display and critique in Illustrator.

Finally, I created the final aerial view of the imagined city by arranging abstract objects according to the city plan. This was assembled in Rhino, rendered with V-Ray, and altered in Illustrator and Photoshop. The final rendering is a view from the top right toward bottom left of the city plan.
