modo 302 Tutorial: Architectural Modeling, ESD

The Charles Eames House
Architectural Modeling


In this video tutorial from Andy Brown of Luxology, we look at techniques for creating an architectural model in modo from a given set of dimensions that is suitable for architectural visualization.

Our subject for the modelling exercise is a classic building; part of the Charles Eames house situated in Los Angeles. It’s an incredible and important piece of design and the perfect subject for this tutorial as it allows us to tackle many different aspects of arch viz modelling, from creating a building’s skeleton right on through to interior and exterior detailing. It’s also a straightforward building with a very accessible design, which makes it the perfect subject for methodically gaining insight into using modo for this kind of 3D modelling.

Special thanks to architect and teacher Adam Elstein for his help whilst researching this tutorial.
