Another pier from this project (there are three in total). This one is intended solely for swimming and recreational activities, with no market area. It will be built on the site of the existing pier. A second swimming area is needed, first, because it is far from the first one (the distance between the piers is approximately 1.5 km), and, second, because swimming in this bay, despite the good water quality and the beach, is only possible in designated areas due to strong rip currents; you simply cannot enter the water anywhere along the beach - special areas with nets and lifeguards are required. In this situation, the piers help create such areas and serve as attractions.

Today I’ll show you some renders fragments that I’m finishing up after upscaling the renders to 4K. This is usually necessary because upscaling at such a high resolution doesn’t handle small objects, text, and people’s faces very well.

In the comments, I’ll post a few of the final renders that I’ve already shown, but in their original resolution. As for the post itself, I’ll start with the final image, followed by some of its individual fragments to make it easier to see where they come from.

I should mention that each fragment is rendered at 2K in #comfyui to ensure sufficient detail, but the resolution itself is excessive for most cases. Therefore, when the fragment is reinserted to the image, it’s compressed, and some details may be lost -which is ok.

The third pier is located between the other two I showed earlier. The axis of the district’s main street leads to it, and its primary function is to serve as an extension of the pedestrian area and a venue for concerts and other performances.

You’ve probably heard of Jifto, a Rhino plugin developed by Henning Larsen Architects. But they’ve now released a fairly detailed context generator that’s worth its own post. There’s a free version. The maps don’t cover every region in the world, but they cover nearly all of Europe, and they promise to add new countries as well.

Let's continue with the piers. As you may have noticed, their structures are similar. I used the same modeling approach and the same Grasshopper scripts to create them. In this video, I tried to show exactly how they are similar and how they differ in terms of their geometry.

Claude Code + Rhino MCP were used to create the video.
