This was modeling project of the beautiful 100 years old house for the client. After we finish the model, we decide that the best way is to put the house on some natural environment. Searching the internet we found the beautiful lake in Finland called Tallusjärvi and decide to put it near the water and wooden dock.
Welcome to Hudson Yards. North of the Meatpacking District and Chelsea, adjacent to Hell’s Kitchen, stretching along the High Line and the river, and close to Midtown; an electric atmosphere in which you can work, play and live. A convergence of parks, public space, haute cuisine, shopping, easy access to transportation – did someone say 7 train? – and stunning views of the river and cityscape make it easy to see why the neighborhood is booming… and easy to see why Henry Hall is where you belong.
First of all I wanted show a mood of approach autumn: gray clouds, rain, leaves in puddles. I like autumn, it diversity of color and moodles. Across some months will comes autumn and did project like this is very symbolically.
The first idea has borned when I saw Rurouni Kenshin Movie in 2012 , I loved that space and also the architecture , so I decided to create japanese room.
Since we posted this showcase, we also published the making-of Edition in Parnell on Ronen’s Blog.
In an oversaturated property market, where there are many great render studios creating lovely images, we felt this project warranted a different formula. When I talk of formulas, I am referring to the standard late afternoon/sunset shots or if a client is feeling ‘crazy’ they will run with 1 or 2 dusk shots to compliment the suite of everlasting sunshine for the remaining 20 shots. Let’s not forget that it is always sunshine and smiles in the 3D world of architectural visualization!
Auckland is known for its cloudy skies and rainy days, especially at this time of year (Winter). We like to keep real-world values, it gives a place a true sense of locality. Like all good restaurants, keep it seasonal where possible, don’t be afraid of rain or cloud. Our studio is really pushing clients to think about the time of year and locality when generating an overall mood for projects.
Everyone in the studio is a big fan of Iwan Baan’s work as a photographer, his super soft blue grade for dusk or silver white days really float our boats. We felt his tone and grade to his photographs would suit the Auckland mood perfectly. With this inspiration we presented a mood board to our client of the direction we wanted to take the images and to our surprise, they jumped straight on board.
The facade of the building is made up of thousands of handmade glass bricks from Italy. This was a really important/expensive design feature to highlight, to do this we knew the shot had to be a silver dusk. We needed to play up the reflective qualities in the brick whilst still being able to see pockets of interior light within, giving the facade an ethereal quality. The ethereal quality of the facade was amplified further by elevating the camera position, this helped us make the cantilevered upper 3 floors float above the podium entrance/reception below, something the architects were keen for us to demonstrate.
This was the first set of images that our studio had used Corona for the entire project, normally we mix between V-Ray, OctaneRender and Corona Renderer.
We also grew all of the plants in GrowFX and made custom shaders using Megascans. Railcone was also used for the glass bricks, curbs, and some hard landscape elements.
