Here’s a design-led interior we completed earlier in the year.
We often plan impactful CGI with our clients, packing in trends and details that enhance their products in the best possible way. We designed and produced this warm minimalist kitchen interior featuring retro-futuristic curves and arches. The designers included loads of organic textures to compliment the cabinetry finishes alongside heavily plastered walls and heaps of marble to strengthen the opulent elements of the design. With entertaining at home becoming more popular than ever, the interior is planned around communal island area, with a trendy banquet seating and an impressive home bar.

The brief for this kitchen interior was a spacious lived in family farmhouse kitchen with a mix of contemporary and traditional design elements. Our team crafted the 3D to our clients design adding character with chunky exposed timber beams and complimenting wooden furnishings. Plain white walls and the vaulted ceiling keep the interior feeling roomy, whilst the Shaker regiment green cabinetry adds a splash of organic colour.

To display the versatility of their traditional framed kitchen cabinetry, our client commissioned this interior with plenty of additional cameras set to exhibit the cabinetry and internal accessories. Shown in a calming shade of Porcelain, this kitchen has been meticulously crafted from the clients brief, ensuring the accuracy of their cabinetry as well as 3D modelling individual props and furnishings which were selected by our team of in-house stylists.

We used 3DSMax and Corona for the majority of this with some of the additional prop sculpting in Z-brush. For image composition used Fusion with the finishing touches (+ a few leafy bits) were completed in Photoshop to ensure colour accuracy.

Something a bit more dramatic this week. In order to display the versatility of their kitchen cabinetry, our client proposed this lively blue and deep green interior with separate kitchen, home office and snug living areas. The client prides themselves in high standards of craftsmanship, so our CG imagery had to be impeccable here. Our talented 3D artists have been meticulous ensuring the accuracy of the cabinetry as well as 3D modelling individual props and furnishings selected by our team of in-house stylists.

We used 3DSMax for the majority of this with some of the prop sculpting in Z-brush. The final renders were done in Corona, comp’ing in Fusion and finishing touches were completed in Photoshop to ensure colour accuracy.

Dusky green hues are a popular choice for kitchens at the moment. They bring a sense of heritage and tradition which works perfectly with Shaker cabinetry in suitably large interiors. This client was quite specific with their design and requested loads of additional images showing the utility area, cabinetry and sink, which works perfectly for us as we get to display our 3D models in much finer detail.

Our 3D team fabricated each concept in 3DSMax with some of the softer props modelled in Z-brush. The final renders were done in Corona, comp’ing in Fusion and finishing touches were completed in Photoshop to ensure colour accuracy.

Inspired by the trend of banquette seating our interiors team have developed this wonderful kitchen layout using natural colours and a beautiful waterfall worktop on the peninsula. Glistening brass accessories and handles complete the look adding more to the elegance and luxury.
We’ve tried to use as much 3D in this scene as possible with the majority of props and items created in 3DSMax and Zbrush. Our final renders have been completed with Corona Renderer and composition in Fusion Studio. Finishing touches and colour accuracy matching has been completed in Photoshop.

Here’s a monochrome living room that we have created for a client that manufactures timber wall panels. They wanted to display their new charcoal black timber slats in a modern living room with plenty of organic textures.

This one gave our artists a chance to sit down and create a new hair and fur rug with a courageous shaggy pile length, using 3DSMax and Corona Renderer. Additional props and soft furnishings have been sculpted in Zbrush with a few finishing touches in Photoshop and Fusion.

There’s some cracking detail in the props in these kitchen renders. Our artists have relished recreating each 3D model, especially the weaved pendant shades which look particularly impressive.

Our interior stylists have used a darker blue and copper colour palette alongside exposed brickwork, which our 3D team have elevated by combining under unit lighting and natural light.

In this timber clad kitchen CGI we’ve gone for that ultra modern look, using open shelving in place of wall units and mid-height oven cabinets. You can’t go wrong with white cabinetry and large slim framed windows to create a bright spacious kitchen space. Our interior designers have warmed the cool whites back up by combining them with natural oak wall cladding and furnishings.

This simple interior has been created using 3DSMax and rendered using Corona renderer. Colour accuracy adjustments and finishing touches were added using Adobe Photoshop and Fusion Studio 16.

Lighting is a fundamental component of composing a cracking CG image. When used correctly lighting can elevate a strong design by creating distinct atmospheres, tell the viewer where to look or simply just balance a scene to make the photorealism look more natural.

We’ve designed and styled this interior in house with the CG scenes created using 3DSMax and rendered using Corona renderer. Additional props like the soft furnishings were individually modelled with tweaks in Zbrush. Colour accuracy adjustments and finishing touches were added using Adobe Photoshop and Fusion Studio 16.

If you’ve payed attention to interior trends this year, you’ll most likely have come across some dramatic green kitchens. A darker green palette has been a firm favourite this year and our stylists have seized the opportunity to feature the trend in this kitchen and bootroom / utility, as this client allowed us more freedom to be creative with the designs.

All the interior design was done in-house and the CGI scenes produced by our 3D team using 3DSMax and rendered using Corona renderer. Additional props and ornaments in the glazed cabinets were individually modelled with tweaks in Zbrush. Colour accuracy adjustments and finishing touches were added using Adobe Photoshop and Fusion Studio 16.

Grey kitchens are a designer’s dream, when combined with appropriate palette there’s limitless styling possibilities. In this CGI our interiors team have featured the best of both classic and contemporary styles, pairing wide bordered dust grey doors with premium countertops and gold accessories. They also planned a concealed home bar, hidden away from plain sight but handy when situations call for a celebration.

The interior layout and styling was crafted in-house and produced in 3D using 3DSMax, rendered using Corona renderer. Additional props and ornaments in the glazed cabinets were individually modelled with tweaks in Zbrush. Colour accuracy adjustments and finishing touches were added using Adobe Photoshop and Fusion Studio 16.
