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.
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 youll enjoy this article, learn from it and share your thoughts by commenting at the bottom of this articles 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.
Ive 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!
In light of the recent 3d foliage/vegetation plugin updates and new releases (Forest Pack Pro v4, Laubwerk Plant Kit, Carbbon Scatter v2, The Plant Factory, etc.) I went looking for some amazing photo reference… trying to find an itch for you to scratch 😉 ‘The Caterpillar’ House by Feldman Architecture hit that spot and nailed it deep into the ground! Enjoy this great set of photos by Joe Fletcher showcasing the house nestled in the green surroundings of Carmel, California (Location, location… location) with warm wooden interior and a fabulous dusk shot.
I’m happy to introduce the making-of Stefan Hirschsteiner‘s ‘The Museum’ Grand Prize Winner – ‘The Butterfly Effect’. Stefan takes us through his complete process, starting with the concept and on with using SketchUP (with lots of Plugins!), key points using Maxwell Render and postwork all the way to final images. I learned a few new SketchUP tricks in this one and hope youll enjoy this article, learn from it and share your thoughts by commenting at the bottom of this articles page.
