My 250th model :: Moj 250-i model

Celebrating 250-th model accepted in Google Earth! It's been a long but fun ride. I was seasoned modeler when I started and still I learned so much. I'd have much more models if I did simple textured cubes, but I went for realism, optimised for web, naturally, and never regreted it! To celebrate I made long-planned model of suspension bridge in Martinska Ves. unlike other models I relied on textures as little as possible, and re-created suspension beams as closely as possible.

Slavim 250-i model prihvaćen u Google Earth! Put je bio dug, ali zabavan. Već sam bio iskusan modelar kad sam počeo, pa ipak sam puno naučio. Modela bi bilo i više da sam radio jednostavne teksturirane kutije, ali cilj je bio napraviti realističan model, naravno, optimiziran za web i nikad nisam požalio. Da proslavim, napravio sam model visećeg mosta u Martinskoj Vesi. Za razliku od drugih modela teksture su osnovne samo i nastojao sam napraviti strukturu ovjesa što je bliže moguće.

Animation of Sisak Fortress :: Animacija Starog Grada

Since I built 3d model in Sketchup, I decided to use free rendering program Kerkythera to produce slightly more realistic animation. This is just a basic model, It would be interesting to make an animation with surrounding buildings and shrubbery.

Otkako sam napravio model u Sketchup-u, odlučio sam sa besplatnim rendering programom Kerkythera napraviti malo realističnije animacije. Ovo je osnovni model bez okoliša, bilo bi zanimljivo napraviti animaciju sa vegetacijom i okolnim objektima.

Victorville

Since my name is Viktor i decied to start a collection of models from Victorville, California. I make them using mostly Streetview and Google maps. So far so good. Hope Victorvillagers (Victorers? Victorvillans? Victorvillers) like them. I take suggestions.

Pošto se zovem Viktor pokrenuo sam kolekciju modela iz kalifornijskog grada Victorville-a. Radim ih uglavnom koristeći Streetview slike i satelitske slike. Za sada mi dobro ide. Nadam se da će se svidjeti građanima Victorville-a (Victorvillcima? Victorviljanima?). Primam prijedloge

Arhiva Sisak :: Sisak Archive

Zgrada Državnog arhiva u Sisku (http://www.dask.hr/). Dograđena originalna zgrada s modernim dodacima. Poprilično komplicirana, ali ju je bilo jako zanimljivo raditi. Prošlo je oko godinu dana od snimanja zgrade do izrade modela. Raslinje u dvorištu i oko zgrade sam morao izdvojiti u drugi model prema novim smjernicama Google Earth admina.

National Archive building Sisak.  (http://www.dask.hr/). Original building expanded with modern addition. It was rather complicated, but interesting to make. It's been well over a year between taking the pictures and making the model. Shrubbery in the yard and in front of the entrance had to be divided into a different model due to recent regulations by Google Earth admins.

Nove zbirke :: New collections

Potaknut dijelom i dokumentarnom serijom "Hrvatski kraljevi" odlučio sam napraviti seriju zbirki modela "Hrvatska baština" koje bi obuhvaćale modele po temema. Nadam se da ove zbirke doprinose kvalitetnijem pregledu modela s područja Republike Hrvatske ili vezane uz hrvatsku kulturu općenito. Nadam se da ćete i sami predlagati modele, zbirke upravo punim pa ako neki od modela nije uvršten, to je samo zato što još nisam došao do njega. Planiram dodati još temu "Industrijska baština" jer ima puno starih tvornica i sličnih objekata koje valja predstaviti i u GE.

Recent TV documentary show "Croatian kings" prompted me to make my own model collections called "Croatian heritage" with subtopics. Hopefuly those collections will help in adding to more comprehensive presentation of Croatian models or ones closely related to Croatia. Please suggest your own objects and if one of your objecjts isn't included, it's just a matter of not having time to browse them all. I plan to add "Industrial heritage" as a collection because there are many old factories that need proper presentation.

Kapela sv. Jelene :: St. Helen's chapel

Da malo izađemo iz Siska, ovo je model kapele svete Jelene u središtu Omišlja, na Krku. Slikao sam ju na godišnjem odmoru, no tek sad je došla na red. Crkva je sagrađena 1458, obnavljana nekoliko puta, zadnji puta u prošlom stoljeću.

Model je jednostavan bio za napraviti, odlučio sam ovu kapelu raditi u 3d čim sam ju vidio, pa sam zato napravio i dosta fotografija. Zbog strmog terena oko kapele dodao sam stepenice koje ju obuhvaćaju sa svih strana i tako čine sastavni dio građevine.

To take a small break from Sisak buildings i made a model of saint Helen's chapel in the middle of Omišalj, on the island of Krk. I used photos I took during the holiday. It was built in 1458, restored several times, last time in XX century.

It was fairly easy to model. I decided to make it in 3D as soon as I saw it, so i made several photographs of it. Steep terrain makes the stairs that surround the chapped part of a building so I included the stairs in the model.

Obitelj Colussi izložba :: Colussi family exhibition

Moji modeli su dobili mjesto u Gradskom muzeju Sisak kao dio postava izložbe Obitelj Colussi u Sisku. Modele zgrada koje su gradili članovi ove poznate sisačke obitelji sam prezentirao s animacijama uz natuknice koje daju osnovne informacije o zgradama, a prema dizajnu sisačke dizajnerice Ane Klobučar. Animacija se prikazuje na velikom ekranu u središnjem prostoru koji govori o povijesti i djelima familije. Trebalo mi je nekoliko dana za pripremu  animacije u Movie Maker-u, dok sam modele koje nisam imao već pripremljene radio nekoliko tjedana uz pauze. Drago mi je što će na ovaj način modele vidjeti i posjetitelji koji ne koriste računala i što ću tako svoj rad približiti širem krugu ljudi.

Izložba je otvorena 17. 11. 2011. i trajat će 2 mjeseca.

My models are now a part of a museum exhibition dedicated to Colussi familly from Sisak. Models of the buildings built by that family is presented in a series of animations with short texts, following basic design by Sisak's own designer Ana Klobučar. Animation is being played continuously in the center area that tells the story of Colussi family and their life and work. It took several days to prepare animation in Movie Maker, some models I had from before and some i modeled in previous couple of months. I'm glad that this way models will be seen even by those that don't even have the computer, and my work will be more public.

Exhibition is opened on 17th of November and will last for two months.
