Now you know how to use Modelo’s ArchitectEffect to generate a BIG inspired diagram drawing. Here is a side by side comparison with BIG’s diagram, not bad, huh? Note, the AO will look even nicer with a more detailed model. You can tell the areas around the intersection of geometries are darker, and it’s pretty close to what the BIG diagram looks like. And since our ambient occlusion is calculated based on real units, this model is basically too big for the AO to show up nicely. However, because the model is oversimplified, it doesn’t have the same level of geometrical complexity as BIG’s model does. The issue is I made this model based on my assumption of the scale of a museum, as you can see from above, the sites’s width is around 90 meters. Now if we take a look at this model, it gets the outlines and some ambient occlusion, but not as apparent as that in the example diagram. After all the adjustments, click Update to save this setting as the default. Then turn off the shadow (since there is no shadow in the example diagram, but you can keep them on depending upon your needs) and adjust the lighting direction. Adjust the Ink Contrast so that all curves have a unified color. Now if we upload this BIG inspired model to Modelo, it looks like this:įrom here, you want to open up the setting panel, turn on the ArchitectEffect, adjust the Pen Detail which controls the amount of outline that gets rendered in the scene. ![]() I separated the four different components (site-4, building body-3, inner courtyard-2 and building envelope-1) and put each of them into a unique layer so that we can easily turn them on and off in Modelo. In this post, I will show you how to easily create BIG inspired diagrams in Modelo.įirst, because I don’t have the model of this diagram, I created a simplified version of it. (We’ve put together a Pinterest board for such drawings, if you are interested in contributing to this board, please contact us). Thus, we started to rethink about what we can do to establish a standard visual style that’s appealing enough to be used in presentations and design reviews and easy enough so that we can focus on design, not overlay Make2D lines on top of a white Vray renderings in Illustrator. I remember I used to spend hours back and forth between Rhino+Vray and Illustrator to achieve such visual effects. Part of the reason my Co-founder and I founded Modelo is that we wanted to save the time involved to generate these time-consuming renderings, drawings, and diagrams. Below is an example of how you can create BIG style drawings in Modelo: One of the firms that produces such drawings is BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group). ![]() As a former architectural designer myself, it’s common to always get attracted to these “we-don’t-know-what-to-call-them” style diagrams.
