Shading Via F. Zaniberti_ prima esercitazione
In this post I'm going to explain the procedure I followed to create a 3d model on Project Vasari and to show the shading due to sunlight in different periods of the day.
First I chose a location (Rome, Italy) and a weather station, then I imported the map of the area on the ground level. Thereafter I used the "create mass" control to enter in the modeling mode, then I drew the borders of the buildings I chose, and I extruded them. Finally I set the sun settings in different parts of
the day and put the shadows on. So i could study the movements of the shadows during daytime.

Here some photos to show that the program simulation is quite plausible. They show that the distance between the buildings is enough
to let the light hit the whole side of the building on the east, while the west side is in shade , made exception for a very little portion.

And the photos?
Of the same buildings?
At the same time and day?
Of course this is the study
Of course this is the study of the same buildings, on different sides and from different points of view. I uploaded some new images and I hope that they'll result enough explicative.
