Hello, hope everyone is doing fine. So I want to ask what is your way to start model something that you don’t have alot of refrence about,? I have this picture that i want to model but this is the only picture available so where do i start? Should i fist try to make the plan or just trace the image? What will you do in this situation? Because i am just staring at the screen hopelessly with zero progress and i am trying both plan and flat elevation method but failing every time, i would really appreciate some tips from experienced artist, Thanks.
I wouldn’t bother tracing that image at all. I would probably import the image into SketchUp as an image and stand it up in the background as a reference but then I would just start modeling. Break the building down into shapes that you can handle. If that’s the only image you have available you’ll need to do quite a bit of guessing as to what the rest of it looks like.
