Making of Schwerin Theater - Modeling
by Mohammad Saatchi, Iran Web: www.msaatchi.com



Hello. I’m Mohammad Saatchi, Freelancer architectural visualizer. When I am seeking for some classical buildings, find one which was simple in first view but have many details. I see it as very beautiful and great so decide try to reconstruct it. It’s the “Schwerin Theater” that established in east north of Germany in Schwerin city.



Problems during Modeling:

  • I have just three photo of the building and all of those are very far so details aren’t visible.
  • Photos aren’t in good view and have angle.
  • I haven’t photo from side of the building.

My all useful available references

Let's Start

Ok, I am using Autodesk 3dsmax version 9 for modeling. I will use default unit setup for this project because I want to make it with my eyes so unit isn’t important. Start of the project was hard part because other part’s sizes related to it so if I make mistake in relations, the building will lose! In this project I was confident on my eyes.


I start from front part - entrance columns. Start with creat simple box and convert it to Editable Poly. Then use extrude, bevel, move, rotate, scale.... to make it. For Arc, Just creat shape (Spline + Arc) and extrude it.

I decide to start from front part and entrance columns. For this I create simple box and convert it to Editable Poly. Most of the part make by this way “Box Modeling”.  As I said, I have confidence on my eyes and use any camera match software or plug-in.


When I finish this part, make many changes in parts sizes to make better and better relation.
