Do you think that narrow tiny apartments are dull?a legacy of Soviet times? No, it's a vast creative space for digital technologies. We invite you to a super-realistic virtual journey through a small space full of great ideas
There is no such thing as less.Not only by European standards, but also by Russian ones. A short video with a virtual tour of a tiny apartment decorated in Scandinavian style appeared on gaming sites and caused a storm of emotions. For the first time, the next-generation game engine Unreal Engine 4 was used to depict the interior. It turned out so authentic that at first glance you can’t believe it was made by a computer.
The Italian Piranesi, who left behind onlyone real church and a whole library of drawn architectural fantasies, Russian "paper" conceptualists of the 80s... If only they knew what horizons the era of digital technologies opens up for them! The author of the visualization is a Ukrainian 3D artist, as he calls himself, Vyacheslav Serbov. Vyacheslav Serbov, 3D artist:
— This approach has many prospects.You can already select colors for various fittings and other details. You can interactively change furniture. You won't be able to furnish the entire apartment like this yet, but you can easily show the replacement of several elements. Don't forget about virtual reality, for the modeling of which Unreal Engine 4 is perfectly applicable. The technology allows the customer to see the future object with all the details as if he was inside, to feel the space, to experience emotions. A completely different level of perception! cgcloud.pro
Fellow visualizers have already appreciated the fresh idea andare trying their hand at using it. But, as Vyacheslav admits, the professional world — both architects and manufacturers — is only just looking at the new technology. It is easier to follow the usual path of static images and animation. But perhaps a change in minds is a matter of time. Eva Arkhipova, graphic designer:
- This is indeed a very promising method.interior presentation. Everything depends on the architect who is doing the project. Theoretically, any 3D visualizer can do this now, if only they had enough patience, skills and computer resources. I think that in the near future such projects will be really widespread. Now even interior videos are far from uncommon. And I am sure that virtual tours are definitely not far away. Including very detailed ones with interactive capabilities. devegital.com
For the first experiment in a new genre, Vyacheslavwas looking for a space that was unpretentious but had a mood. He liked the modest Scandinavian apartment because he personally liked this style. So the digital fantasy has a real prototype. Interestingly, the regulars of gaming forums who watched the video first were even more interested in it than in the features of using the engine. The problem was defined as follows: "How to make a normal, "guy's" apartment out of a small, creepy hut with a bedroom slightly wider than the bed and a kitchen that doesn't exist at all" (quoted from the shazoo.ru forum - Auth.).
We agreed that the best option had been proposed.— unisex. And we agree with this. Scandinavian style gives the maximum set of tools for an extremely small area. . On the windows — translucent light curtains. The only "closed" space, the bedroom, is separated only by a glass partition. Nothing prevents the light from passing through the apartment-corridor and compensating the psyche for the nightmare of a narrow layout.
due to the solid facades without decorations and evenwithout handles, it looks completely monolithic, and therefore light. The upper tier is up to the ceiling. This is a relatively fresh trend in the design of small spaces. And the visualization shows how reasonable it is: the upwardly stretched cabinets provide additional storage space, disguise the kitchen as dining furniture and help create the impression of a “continuation of the wall”. The only pattern is the laconic pattern of the seamless apron and countertop, apparently cast from concrete - this emphasizes.
To fit everything you need, but notclutter the dining area, use small objects with clear outlines. A compact leather sofa that attracts attention only with its semi-matte texture. A light table and chairs in the Scandinavian spirit - designer plastic, a "Viennese" chair and eco-style. Laconic but comfortable decorations. A functional floor lamp was selected according to the same principle: a red spot with a clear, chiseled figure.
Wooden board of dense brown color onthe floor is "responsible" for warmth and comfort. Walls... Here the author decided to demonstrate the potential application of technology for the consumer. During the viewing, the viewer can turn on and off the light and change the color of the walls from white to rich coral and back.
For display on screen, the combination is spectacular.Whether such a rich tone is suitable for real life in a narrow space is a moot point. After all, color is a matter of individual taste and perception. Changing it in reality, although more difficult than on the monitor screen, is still easier than changing the design of the room. Perhaps in the future we will continue to choose paint, wallpaper, shape and size of furniture. One click - and less headache!
