Lasse Rode did a remarkable job with his previous articles featured on this blog, and this time is no different. Following the publication of his &tradition renders, I asked Lasse if he can share more of his Photographic Approach in Architectural Visualization. Although we all seem to compare rendering to photography in the end, I think you’ll learn a thing or two about how to get started with this in mind after reading this article which describes an Architectural Visualization Workflow. Enjoy it!

Syros House by Myrto Miliou

/in , , /by

It’s very hot in here now. Feels like the middle of summer, and I’m working on a design using mostly rough stones, so I’m thinking the Syros House by Myrto Miliou Architects will be a perfect inspirational fit to share with you all. It sure did inspire me today! The photos have very good stone detail in them and a strong feel of hot summer (seems to me they were treated to accentuate that). I find myself drawn towards this type of “earthy” architecture more and more lately. feels cosy.

Earlier this month, 3Dstudija studio posted their “Scandinavian Summer House” visuals on the forums and these immediately captured my attention. I’m not that familiar with the Scandinavian “Look & Feel”, but it sure reminded me of my Mediterranean local with a “Drop Dead Gorgeous” 3d Groundwork – Some of the best I’ve seen to date! I had a chat with the Maciulis Brothers, Matas & Antanas about this project and this article was born. Enjoy it.

Making of The Museum ‘Field Project’ by Bertrand Benoit

/2 Comments/in , , /by

I’m happy to introduce the making-of Bertrand Benoit‘s ‘The Museum’ 1st Runner Up Winner – ‘The Field Project’. Bertrand takes us through several stations in his process of making his work, starting with the concept and on with how he adds geometric and texture detail to the base model (actually – rebuilds most of it). It is great seeing how Bertrand works his way around a large-scale scene using Maxwell Render, which he previously only used for product shots or small scale single images. I hope you’ll enjoy this article, learn from it and share your thoughts by commenting at the bottom of this article’s page.

Following up on the “Follow the line” facade style building showcased a couple of weeks back with MAD Architects ‘Absolute Towers’, I’m showcasing today the LTD_1 building designed by Peter Ruge Architekten. I’m gathering several such projects examples in light of the upcoming RailClone update. This one also reminds me a lot of Bertrand’s entry for the RailClone miniCHALLENGE. Should be fun recreating this like that.

12 Postwork Style Architectural Visualization Tutorials

/6 Comments/in , /by

I’ve written an article for 3D World Magazine that takes a look over the arch-viz field trying to define our workflows, styles and technologies we use in our daily work. You can find this article in the latest 3D World Magazine, April 2013 Issue, but since I run into the “Print World Wall” and couldn’t get in all the examples I had in mind, I decided to follow-up on the article by showcasing more examples that I like – Starting with the Postwork Style Workflow… Enjoy this roundup!
