How many times do you get to visualize a project designed by a world leading architecture firm for a world leading company? I wish I could have been on the team doing the new “Mothership” – Apple’s new campus in Cupertino designed by Foster + Partner. Steve Jobs says the groundbreaking for this magnificent flying-saucer-like edifice is planned for next year, with completion scheduled for 2015. What do you think of it – Design & Visuals?

Australian creative agency Collider created this super cool concept for the Ministry of Sound album artwork of Chillout Sessions XII. It is a homage to Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra and the lifestyles their buildings accommodated, Chillout Sessions XII takes you to a fusion of time periods somewhere between the 50’s and the 80’s in the filtered light of California. This miniature diorama features the artists from the compilation in house chilling out. Great idea and lovely execution!
The second birthday giveaway is here! CGAxis will give all of you lucky followers the CGAxis Mix Pack Vol. 1.

Artists Heaven is a personal project by Johan Gustavsson and his first post on the forums. An impressive one! Purposed as a Photoshop Skill development project, the only 3D element in this scene is the actual building and stairs and Johan was kind enough the compile a short video of the postwork breakdown.
XFrog Inc. the makers of XFrogPlants, made a big move and all the 3D plant tree and flower models found in their XfrogPlants libraries are now available as individual species! Now you can pick and choose the plants you need to fill out your 3D scenes. Each species includes between 3 and 9 models of the plant at different ages and sizes, essential for creating varied, natural-looking landscapes. XFrogPlants are great, just remember to turn off filtering on the opacity maps for faster renders.
