I just have to share these amazing architecture visualizations by Peter Guthrie – Representing some of his best work. The design is by Gianni Botsford Architects and SketchUP was the modeling tool of choice. I use SketchUP 99% of the time for all modeling, and Peter strives to get most of it done inside SketchUP too, texturing too… the rest is good old 3dsmax & VRay. Remarkable design and visuals! enjoy.
Polytown released today, its first plugin for 3d studio max and any render engine that integrates with it – The Tangram Render Bucket Mode Plugin! This special bucket mode is dedicated to all those who, despite all possible rational reasons, remain seated in front of the screen watching the usual square buckets progress. The development team at Polytown thought it would be cool to make a puzzle mind game out of it so you can better utilize this, otherwise, wasted time.
Forum member Vladislav Dechev (graffitiman) posted an interesting set of renders of the Tobacoo Company Headquarters in Sicuan, China. The design has a unique look, with a green roofs emerging from the ground covering the structural elements. Vladislav was kind enough to share a few aspects of the visualization creation. Enjoy.
Bertrand Benoit posted on the forums about a wonderful VRay balloon material he is offering for free. Looks incredibly real to me, and ORANGE!
Lech Sokolowski debuts on the forum with a great set of renders of the Railway Sleepes Impregnation Plant located in western Poland. A commercial work done in two weeks time. Considering most of it was done by Lech alone (aside from the cars and vegetation) this is very impressive. The scene was rendered in 3dsmax using V-Ray, but was modeled in Blender actually. The end result is full of detail and has a painterly / simcity like feel to it, which I personally like very much and it makes a rather industrial context look very inviting.
