The Studio

The aim of this project was to provide a photo-realistic and natural experience of a photography studio.

The design was based off my love for the classic concrete/timber material palette mixed with large curved structures. I wanted the space to feel isolated which led me to surround by foliage that filled the windows completely. I just wanted to create a space that I would like to visit/have one day.

It originally started off as a project testing marvelous designer objects in UE4, however, I kept adding and adding to it and I thought I’d have a collection of renders from this space. I came across an animation on YouTube where they used the “natural shake” effect on the camera which then inspired me to start beginning the cinematic exploration of “The Studio”.

Piso Vilas Real-Time Arcvhiz Walkthrough

Because I lack in artistic skills, I bought a book called Small & Chic Interiors (showcase’s beautiful apartments designed from different architect’s), as a means to guide me mostly with colors. After finishing the book I found an apartment that I really like, and so I email the designer asking for the 2d drawings which he eventually did, helping me that way tremendously since the 2d drawings are the pillars of each real time arcvhiz project.

Realtime Walkthrough of a Microapartment

I used autocad to create a very simplistic but yet extremely important drawing , since it provides the pillars for the steps that will follow until completion. Then 3dsmax was used for modelling of the house and some assets (most of the assets and materials used on this project, were taken from 3dsky.org, 3dmili.com, sketchfab.com, quixel.com and evermotion.org) , and with the assist of datasmith ( UE4 Plugin) i moved them to UE4 , a game engine that enables rendering in realtime for a more emersive experience. The fact that the apartment was small it gave me freedom to not care that much about optimisation.The lightmaps were baked, no raytracing technique was used.

Studio Bluecerigo

This new photographic agency wants to be a place of diffusion and creation as well as a place of life in its own right. For the sake of integrating daily rituals of guarding into complex working hours, a large part of the space is dedicated to the children of promoters and collaborators.
The original space has been completely restructured to create an open and versatile place. The addition of shutters to the openings allows to modulate the natural light, inherent to the photographer’s work, according to a device that is both simple and aesthetic.
