Uniform have recently finished a short film showcasing The Colosseum project in Bucharest, Romania. Visualizing retail centers is not an easy task since it is a large scope work and it has become rather difficult to be unique with all those mega structures looking very similar to one another. I had a little chat with Mark Lee from Uniform about this project trying to gain some more insight about their process and Im sharing it here with you too.
Take a look at this CG remake of Marcio Kogan’s Gama Issa House done by Wizarc Studio. They have done a great job showcasing this house and outputted a remarkably clean Maxwell Render animation! I also took some screen captures and compared them with real photos of the house as taken by photographer Arnaldo Pappalardo. It is clear that they used those photos as key points during the animation and the matching is really good.
Building up towards CityLife Architectural Visualization Challenge launch III, I’ll be posting related information to get you into the mood! Check out this cool commercial for the Ministry of Sound new album “Anthems – Electroinc 80’s 2” created by Fold 7 and freelance motion design director Paul Clements. The entire visual concept was created with the help of CityEngine, a software developed by CityLife sponsor – Procedural.
Simple design, yet a remarkable impact as shown in this great set of photos by Fernando & Sergio Guerra for this House in Melides, Grândola, Portugal by Pedro Reis. I love just about any of FG+SG photography work. Their large skies and high contrast exterior is kind of a trade mark. There is much to learn from this set as well as an interesting story behind the design of this house that was done in a way of architectural competition among three offices.
A very nice set of visuals made by forum member Max Chapliuk for an architectural competition. Great look and feel and cool lighting design I initially thought was to crazy too be real, but apparently it is and made by Pieke Bergmans and Fontana Arte.
