Long time blog & challenges sponsor, iToo Software, created yet another very nice 3d park landscaped scene that combines distribution of grass, fallen leaves and trees with leaves tinted with the Forest Color Feature. You can download now the Autumn Park scene, ready to render on 3DS Max 2010 or higher, starting with Forest Pack Pro 3.6 and either VRay or Mental Ray.
Egor Goray has been pretty busy lately, playing around with his NYC Intersection CityLIFE 2nd Place winning entry. In this new set of renders he takes us down to the street in various seasons, and you got to love the results… This is one making-off to look forward too.
It is safe to say that no matter what render engine Bertrand Benoit picks up, the outcome will be among the best that was ever made! with that render engine. We’ve seen that all too well a month ago when he posted his “Corners” scene rendered with the real-time GPU engine – Octane, which won 2nd place in their 2012 Apocalypse Competition (I personally think he had a first place grade entry though). I would keep tabs on the advances the Octane people are making… it’s getting very interesting in the real-time zone.
Im happy to announce that the Winners of the Third Architectural Visualization Challenge CityLIFE, have been Selected!
Forum newcomer, Federico, posted a very nice photo-matching work based on a photo of the xcoma bar by KUU in xian, China. Although his camera is clearly lower and farther away than the original, all other aspects of his render are done remarkably well. The general lighting is very similar and the materials too (besides the ceiling concrete, which is a bit too rough). This is a great start on the forum!
Peter shared a new set of renders for a residential project on the northern edge of Oslo’s Sofienberg park by Logg Arkitektur. An urban visualization integrated in photos he took on site that reminds me a lot of his previous work on the Kilburn Vale Visualizations, which represented (for me) his best work at that time. With these new renders I think Peter has pushed the limits even further, achieving high levels of realism and integration within photos.
