blackhaus shared their latest Black Living Set scene images on the forums, and although it is black by black, it sure did light up the day! Great attention to details here… superb materials & lighting. And you got to love that Campana Vermelha Armchair by Fernando and Humberto.

Ramon Zancanaro mentions in his latest forum thread that he’s been “far from the 3d by long time…”, and I ask – Where Were You??? I would like to go too!!! Just glancing over his latest renders tells us it was a good place to be. This scene was intended as a cloth study, and a remarkable one in turned out.

Chicago Loft by Bertrand Benoit

Chicago Loft by Bertrand Benoit

Here’s a remarkable little Déjà vu for you… Last year started with a spotlight on Bertrand Benoit’s Tribeca Loft, and today he posts his new Chicago Loft images on the forums! Perfect timing & execution as you would expect of him. Last month Bertrand released the Chicago Loft scene for sale on Turbosquid in clean form so that you can populate it with your own models, serving as a showcase set – His current set of images is a great example of how this could be done.

Graticule House 3D Recreation by Bertrand Benoit

Graticule House 3D Recreation by Bertrand Benoit

Bertrand Benoit posted on the forums a masterful recreation of a house designed by David Jameson Architects – the Graticule House (see the original Graticule House it in the inspiration section). Intended as a scene to test GrowFX trees (all of them are) and as a place to showcase Bertrand’s many great furniture models. Funny how he mentions “…I could never get it quite finished…”. I wish I can “never finish” projects this way!

Private House at Suffolk by Peter Guthrie

Peter Guthrie first showcased this great set of renders that he made for Storm Architects design of a Private House at Suffolk at his Academy Day #2 Workshop in Venice. The special thing about it, other then seeing more remarkable images from Peter, was that we got a glimpse into his actual workflow – in person and in-depth. It was very nice seating next to him, seeing all the people in the conference room mesmerized during the entire session (lucky for me, there was a screen at the back too). Peter shared it on the forums, and you are all welcome to comment about it and ask whatever you like.

Alfa Smyrna strikes again with yet another personal and marvelous project with several renders to form a set she calls – “Rosso”. Some major bookcase work is done in this one, all from scratch, with great lighting and texturing overall. This is inspiring work.
