PRETTY PORTSMOUTH PIX

 

Some days are just better than others. Or maybe it’s just different. Maybe you need the hard slog day to wake up next morning and break through the barrier, play some guitar in the middle and close out with a couple of sexy images.

I discovered that the top layer of transparent toposolid subdivisions were the source of all my problems. Deleting these gave me a file size 300x smaller! Goodbye pain. All the boundaries still exist as red lines floating in a flat plane, so not very hard to trace out a road network as a white floor slab.

 

 

Next came families to represent the housing terraces. Then a break to rest up and practice some songs for GAJ Xmas party. Finishing up with a couple of camera views lightly processed in PIXLR. Been a while since I did that.

 

 

So I’m happy with the context views (St Mary’s Fratton) for now at least. Time to go inside and do something similar to the West Woodhay church. That kept me busy for a couple of days and of course I discovered new things along the way. There are quite a few questions I can’t resolve with my current information. Probably needs a site visit and a whole bunch of interior photographs.

 

 

All the same it’s looking pretty good with the hammer-beam roof and the wrought iron chancel screen. Another day or so, back and forth between the model and the sheet. This is my goal for each of the churches I’ve been working on. Condense the design and its context down to a single sheet so that it becomes easier to compare and contrast. Think Bannister Fletcher for the digital age.
