This is an overhead shot of the entire 6-acre "The Shire" development, to give an idea of the scale and layout. There are a total of 31 residences-- the buildings of the inner circle are all unique, while the outer circle of the 2nd phase are random copies in appropriate sizes and placement since those designs are not finalized yet. The project includes some interior shots, stills, and so far 2.5 minutes of animation, with more clips and stills to come for "The Shire" website, brochures, and magazine articles.

Building designs by Vicki Wooster and Log Rhythms, Inc. Some initial 3d models by Vicki Wooster imported from Chief Architect (what a messy program!) and rebuilt entirely by me in MAX, with some assistance from Rob Kraft. More building models made in ADT by Log Rhythms and partially rebuilt by me. All texturing, lighting, and landscape done by me from elevations, sketches, and site plan.

Building elements, pavement, sidewalks, and water all in MAX. Landscape, clouds, atmospherics, and plants in WorldBuilder. Darktree procedural tiles used on townhouse roofs.
