I first learned about State of Art Studio after their Maison Hermès, RPBW post on the forums and the following Making of Maison Hermes tutorial. They have a very unique & vivid style I like very much and a work process shifted strongly towards doing things in post. Their latest entires on the forums showcase this aspect in all it’s glory! You have to check this out if you haven’t yet.
Houston based 3D Artist, Ramy Hanna, recently published a post on his blog about the Photoshop postwork process he implements in his Architectural Visualization work. Check out his screen capture video of this process on the ‘KHS’ scene down below and make sure to visit his blog too… Ramy prefers to use SketchUP as his main archviz modeling tool, much like yours truly and you will find many interesting posts related to that.
Cool sprite animation over a still 3d rendered image by Jonathan Weston. While the video showcases what might happen to a new development and what the property developers end up doing, I like it for the not so usual treatment and technical aspects. It has a high cool effect too!
No doubt it is the time of the GPU in Architectural Visualization. First Twinmotion and now please take a look at LUMION. Developed by ACT-3D, the makers of Quest3D, it is said to be a new & easy tool for architects and their clients to explore their designs. No doubt they follow the footsteps of Ka-Ra as far as their way to present it… and it is a nice way to do it. First preview is about Lumions capability to handle large landscapes. Huge amounts of trees and plants in an dream-like setting. Shows how you can enhance your movies using freely available models combined with the standard Lumion object library.
