Liepch
Colleries
By
Randa Cook
The building itself is the old entrance of a Mine and
is called Liepch colleries and is located a bit outside of Crowsnest
Pass on highway three.
The first challenge was getting the camera and
building at the right angle so it looked something like the picture and
I could actually create what it looked like.
Once I got the building where I wanted it the hardest part began.
I had a GREAT deal of difficulty initially trying to get the windows
and doors to look right.
Lining them up with the outside of the building proved to be MUCH more
complicated than I thought.
Once I managed to get the first door on
correctly I could do the rest by comparison but the first one was
brutal because the
position of the camera and angle of the building resulted in me having
to GUESS for hours about
where the building was in the coordinate system and figure out why I
couldn't see my door!
The answer of course was because it was inside the building.
The other difficulty I had was not being able to find a circle
instead of a sphere.
This resulted in me having to make the arch of
each doorway with a sphere.
The challenge was avoiding un-necessary
shadows while getting the proportion correct with the door and the
sphere.
As a result of my hard work and attempt to perfect the use of sphere I
am very proud of the arches and how nicely they worked out.
The lighting requirements to actually see the
whole building clearly forced me to make the back triangle a really
dark brown
in order for it to not be seen as bright white and actually be the
correct color to blend with the building.
The brick pattern I used I found on
