Japanese Bank

Hi Blendernation,

My name is Matt and I work in the field of innovative technology – principally Augmented/ Virtual Reality, wearables etc. so 3D is central to a lot of my work. Working in the UK for an educational technology company, it is great to recommend Blender as an open source alternative to other more expensive products allowing more students/ academics to get started with 3D.

The render is inspired by a modern Japanese Bank called Sugamo Shinkin designed by Emmanuelle Moureaux located in Tokyo who have unique and interesting modern buildings that contrast markedly from the traditional view of a bank. I was really drawn to the idea of nature and modernity being present together and used both Grass Essentials and TheGrove3D to create the foliage and trees that seem to soften the stereotypical seriousness of a bank.

I only modelled the exterior but hope to transfer some of the assets to UE4 to create a VR experience where users can access the interior.

You can see the final image on the Blenderartists Finished Work forum here.

All feedback and comments welcome.
