CREATE AN AUTUMNAL ARCHVIZ SCENE

I had the inspiration for this project when I was preparing for a Forest Pack plugin training package, for a workshop. I needed to simulate a space inside a forest with lots of plants and leaves so that I could take advantage of the power and features of this plugin. I decided that the best season for this scene would be autumn, so I looked for the best reference to help me simulate a modern and minimal villa in a forest space.

Autumn simulation at night can result in some very attractive images, due to the harmony of orange and blue, so I decided to bring the simulation space closer tonight so that I could take advantage of the blue light that is scattered in space, and also the dark-blue sky. The materials that make up this villa are metal, mirror, concrete, and glass, and the inside of the villa is made of wood cabinets and furniture arrangement, with some purple fabric material.

The exterior of the villa features several lights to illuminate the forest environment so that we can see the exterior of the villa in rendering. The focus of this scene simulation is technically based on the Forest Pack plugin and the Scattering operation, which is one of the most important simulation operations in archviz.

Let’s take a look at my step-by-step process for this project.

01 UNIT SETUP AND MODELLING

We’ll start by setting up the units, choosing centimetres, then we can start constructing and modelling the land area with Shift and the Push/Pull tool. I decided to model stairs on both sides of the villa according to the reference I collected for this project. Provide space for the columns under the villa to cover the pebbles.
