Topos Landscape Award

Every year Topos presents the Topos Landscape Award to a team of landscape architects which is neither at the beginning of its career nor in the top ranks of the profession.
We are looking for practices with excellent completed projects, concepts and theoretical approaches. The winners are given the opportunity to introduce…[Read more]

would anyone be interested in selling their used workbooks from the workshops to me? I live in Australia and in the near future, not able to travel to the States to attend the graphic workshops.

Thank you Paul for that link. It is really worth reading.

cześć grupo 🙂
cieszę się, że nas tu tak dużo 🙂

Sorry I din’t mention it. The website was done using Squarespace.com as a content management application. It is kind of expensive but the control we have is wonderful. Just having control of the site, being able to update as we please is worth the $$ small site is about $9/mo ours is about $12. there is a free 30-day trial. if you decide to try,…[Read more]

I don’t mean to be negative, but I’ve been after Topos for maybe 3 years now to start an on-line version of their magazine. Seems kind of in the spirit of the content don’t you think? I don’t take paper anymore – magazines or newspapers – and yes I pay for the ones that provide good content and present themselves well. How about an iPad App Topos?…[Read more]

Great. Glad to help. 🙂

I am using SU8 and that worked perfect. Thank you so much Wyatt!

It sounds like you want the photomatch view without the photo showing. Is that correct? Are you using SU8? Open the Styles window and click on Modelling Settings (the last icon). At the bottom there are toggles for the match photo background.

Wyatt, I brought a photo in for photo matching, I then outlined the buildings and faces that I needed to create 3D models of. I then used the orbit tool to move the camera which takes me into the 3D drawing mode where I applied materials to the faces in my model. I then created a scene with the 3D model. So, now I have the automatically generated…[Read more]

Dave, it might be helpful if you could describe more specifically what you’re trying to do, because I’m not sure I understand your question. The purpose of Photomatch is to move the camera so it sets the view of the model to align to a photo you are trying to match. Can you not use scenes to switch back and forth between the different views?…[Read more]

Does anyone know how to switch from the 2D sketching mode to the drawing mode in photo match without adjusting the camera angle? I have buildings outlined perfectly in the sketching mode but the only way I can tell to switch to the drawing mode is with the POV tools and to do that my model no longer has the correct camera view.

Thank you,
Dave

No one has anything to say?

Dear all,

this group page is meant to give the participants of the seminar “Concepts of Landscape” an additional platform. Feel free to create your own profiles on land8lounge so that people can get to know each other a bit better.

Unfortunately, we do not have so much time during the seminar for social communication, even not for presenting you…[Read more]
