Construction Cross Section of a Museum

One of my best friends is about to turn in his final project for architecture, my other best friend did the technical details of the cross sections, and I did the 3D part, so I think that the combine effort is what makes this image great for us, you may not like it, but we do, we think I speaks highly of the project and what our friend wanted his museum to feel like (and of course thanks to octane too which is responsible for the realistic look of it, and kilad and gk's plugin for making it easier).
I had to model it so it could fit in the 2d drawing, but I didn't want any light coming from the slice, so I modeled an extra space on the other side to which I added a white material with almost 0 opacity (if I went down to 0 octane started to stall on me). Since the sun doesn't go thru opacity maps it worked well blocking the sun meanwhile it didn't obstruct the view.
Here is the result plus the wip of the setup.
Since we liked we added an extra camera for that interior shot.
We hope you liked. (And we hope he gets his degree, too

)
Cheers

Looks great, but somebody should tell those kids it's dangerous to play in cross-sectioned museums.

Awesome !
I too will, if you don't mind, adopt this technique

for school arch projects.
Edit: on second look....I really admire this, so much patience to detail, those CAD details on Arch-Viz, such precision.... this really almost turns me on

well It'll be tough for my friend to explain to his tutor the two red stains in the base floor..... yeah, sure, blame the drugs...
@insane_cain we did also a nice wood model (you sure know how old fashioned are some proffesors) and octane did most of the work for us

but I can't show that for now, I'll do it when He's got his diploma safe in his hands.... hehehe
@GeorgoSK please do so, and if you can post results... about your edit.... we archies are some weird perverted people... hehehehe
@all, thanks, we appreciate it
