The Challenge is about to start in a day! I’ve added the information pages to the blog under the new Challenges option in the navigation above. You can also visit the forum and register right now. The house model for the Challenge will be posted later on, so please take this time to review all the information and ask me anything you like by commenting below… all the information gathered here will be edited and turned into a FAQ that I’ll post in the Challenge page and forum so that all participants can benefit from this.
Good Luck and Have Lots of Fun!
I think this is a first in architectural visualization! Artist Carl Warner and his team of five model-makers spent three weeks crafting the famous London landmarks out of foods ranging from melons and tomatoes to asparagus. The team used 26 different types of fruit to recreate the London skyline and the result truly looks good enough to eat!
A new version of the Building Generator is out with many new features and improvements. This is a very impressive script and the development of it is really fast and I can see how it can be very useful for me to generate city backdrops for urban visualizations for example.
A very good collection of wood & natural materials by manufacturer Trespa. Great for use inside SketchUP and also for rendering at large resolutions too, though you might need to tweak it a bit for tiling.
A collection of 14 wood textures by madhav posted at cadyou and suitable as a SketchUP texture. might be good for further rendering at lower resolutions too.
