I’ll be celebrating my blog’s 1st birthday this August 15th and plan some cool stuff for you all… And this is a heads up for this blog’s first miniCHALLENGE#01 – BRIX that is the first event for this birthday month. Sponsored by Materialwerk it will start on the 15th and will end on the 31st September 15th. Head to the miniCHALLENGE’s forum thread for more information, but you can see the prizes below too.
As mentioned in the latest newsletter, I bring you Tom Svilan’s making of 93 Tram scene. This will be the first Blender + Indigo Render article in this blog. This combo is not the usual thing in archviz and I’ll try to publish more content related to the use of Blender and Indigo in particular. In this article, Tom describes his process from CAD to Finish, creating 3 Interior / semi exterior night time 3d renders. I hope you’ll enjoy this article, learn from it and share your thoughts by commenting at the bottom of this article’s page.

Starting as a photographer and moving into 3d visualization for the limitless option, he is someone to follow and learn from.

I present to you this interview with HOVER judge Zoran Gorski (Kizo) form Arscom Studio, Croatia. He is a seasoned CINEMA 4D user and is well-known in the 3D community. Last year he won rendering competitions at Evermotion, 3D Allusions, Vizdepot and Zwischendrin. Kizo is one of the founders of Arscom Studio, which is made up of a team of four that specialize in architectural visualizations and web development. Their portfolio consists of a considerable number of tourism projects such as hotels, apartments, residential complexes, country estates and even a football stadium.

HOVER is starting! I’ve added the information pages to the blog under the Challenges menu option in the navigation above. You can also visit the forum and register right now if you haven’t yet. The model kit for the Challenge is online, so please download and start exploring it as well as review all the information and ask me anything you like by commenting below… all the information gathered here will be edited and added to the FAQ page so that all participants can benefit from this.
The structure you see in the HOVER splash image above was built using the model kit ( + additional custom parts ) and is based on an architectural design by Chyutin Architects, probably the best public architecture firm in Israel.
Refractive Software bumped up the Grand Prize Octane Render License to a – LIFE TIME LICENSE… so you get all updates ever for it.
How cool is that!
Model kit uploaded and available for download on the challenge page.
Good Luck and Have Lots of Fun!
A making of a great scene – “Bedroom White & Wood” by Ramon Zancanaro was posted on 3DTotal today. You must take a look at it… and also visit Ramon’s website to see more great work of his.
Checkout the original evermotion thread of this project here. I also suggest you take a look at his Nero Amore thread at the forums showcase gallery.
