Every now and then I scribble and doodle architectural ideas. These days I'm also able to actually MAKE them in (virtual) 3 dimensions.
I liked the idea of these large frontals and decided to turn it into a mini mall. |

I'm living in a Hofje, an old living-together form, usually with a religious background.
This one was conceived in the early 90's. I've lived there in various apartments since 1993.
Of course I wanted this too put in 3D. But it proved rather complicated and time consuming...
Over time I would like also to incorperate the interior; at least of my own apartment, so I can make a walk-through. This picture shows the frontal apartments.

And here's the back building. |
|
 |
In the front a little building where we can store our bicycle and stuff. There's another shed building more to the back and in the middle a little pond.
|
|
 |
Before the actual Hofje was build, several designs were made.
This is one of them. |

Another Hofje design. |

As mentioned above, I love architecture. This is such a cute little house, I couldn't wait to put it in 3D! I took my time for the details and it looks quite realistic. |

I was reading in one of my favourite comic books, De Valstrik (The time trap) from the Blake and Mortimer series by Edgar P. Jacobs. I started off with this futuristic view on the French city Roche-Guyon. The whole city area is a bit much, so I did the most characteristic piece. |
|
 |
The cover of the comic book De Valstrik has some elements which I used to create my version of that cover. |
|
 |
In the comic book De Valstrik a time travel device is used: the Chronoscaaf. Very simple by design, although the cutout to see the interior was a bit tricky. |
|
 |
Edgar P. Jacobs of course made more comics. I love his mix of fantasy and science fiction.
This picture contains mainly his design for a thunderstorm canon out of S.O.S. Meteoren. |

From the same book the atmospheric laboratory. I'm actually quite proud on this image! |

In the seventies I still had the idea to become a comic author. Luckely I noticed my lack of talent myself...
From the science fiction comic Reindert I rendered his spaceship.
Actually it looks much better in 3D than it did on the drawing...! |
|
 |
Another comic of me was about the Ixam people (from a galaxy far, far away...)
Here's the spaceship platform. |
|
 |
From E.P. Jacobs' "Het raadsel van Atlantis" (Atlantis Mystery). |

The spaceships from Atlantis. |

Poseidonpolis, city of Atlantis. |

A nice castle |

For the interested ones: I used 3D Studio Max 5 for the modeling on a very modest, 3 year old computer. |
