Architectural Design for Film

In this tutorial, I will show you how I designed an Architectural Environment for a film using both 2D and 3D methods.

We will first design a 2D sectional drawing in response to a brief, then take it into a 3D program to build a base for our final Concept Sketches.

Topics covered

• Translating ideas into a 2D cross-section (Procreate)
• 2D Cross-section to basic 3D model (Blender)
• Final 3D model overview (Blender)
• Timelapse: Painting over 3D (Procreate)
• Closing thoughts

What do you get?

• Over 45 minutes of narrated video content covering my workflow for designing an Architectural environment for a film
• Additional 3D paint over timelapse
• Final Concept Sketches in JPG format

Who is this for?

• Creatives interested in designing Architectural environments and spaces
• Creatives and Designer's looking to expand their skill set in digital image making workflows

Tools Used

• iPad Pro + Procreate + Apple Pencil
• Blender 

(This tutorial can also be followed in alternative 3D software such as; Rhino, Sketchup, 3ds Max etc. Alternative digital painting software can be used such as; Adobe Photoshop, Infinite Painter etc.)

What do I need before I start?

• Some experience with digital image making workflows
• Basic knowledge of digital painting software, such as Procreate, Photoshop etc.
• Basic experience using a drawing tablet or equivalent tool (Wacom tablet, iPad Pro, etc.)
• Basic knowledge of a 3D modelling package
