What a RIDE 2011 was! I began the year, summing up the second architectural visualization challenge HOVER, that ended in November 2010. The winners making-of articles were being posted one by one and I also posted about the 12 most favorite articles of 2010 that had been published on the blog
I’m very proud to present the images and animation created by the 29 finalists of the third Architectural Visualization Challenge CityLIFE. I enjoyed this event very much, as it tackled a theme that is much more complex and vast then the usual daily tasks we deal with. Don’t forget to submit your feedback too if you participated in the challenge or even just visited the new challenge sites during this event.

Forum member Jannyltd posted a great looking photo-matching attempt based on Room Room House by Takeshi Hosaka Architects in Tokyo.

Lasse Rode’s continues to share more insight related to his Tugendhat House 3D Recreation project. This time he writes a bit more about the creation of the interior images (focusing on one of them). Make sure you read the first part about the Making of Tugendhat House Exterior 3D Renders.

Today he responds to the many requests for sharing more insight about his work on this scene, which was done as a personal project over a period of few weeks to test color-mapping and GrowFX tree creation among other things. In this article he focuses on the exterior part of his work.
