Our second project was to create an analytical image of our design based on our original Revit model from the previous project. This included adding inhabitants to the house to represent the social activities that might take place, as well as showing context and deciding on a style of presentation.
My image shows the public areas of the house, with people socializing inside and outside the living room while another brings some snacks from the adjacent kitchen. I went about creating the image by using a section box in Revit to restrict the visible parts of the house, then positioned a camera so I would have a perspective view. I then used Print Screen to transfer the image to Photoshop. In PS I cropped the image and added more realistic textures and images to the background to make the site come alive. This contributed to a more realistic style, along with the color and added shadows from Revit. For the inhabitants I simply searched for the image I wanted and used the lasso tool to copy them into the house and then scaled them appropriately. I have had some experience with PS in the past so it was not difficult to achieve this image. Photoshop is of course a well established program and is sufficient for most manipulations; these were well within its capabilities. With such a broad range of options though it is sometimes hard to find simple tools.
