it’s an interior image which I’ve done in my free time .. inspired by an image I’ve seen on a catalog I wanted to try to do it in 3d. I feel very lazy today 🙂

Concert Hall in Mountains of Troodos

/in , , , , , /by

This set of images was prepared for a closed competition for new Concert hall in Mountains of Troodos, Cyprus, that will serve as extension for music school.​​​​​​​
Main idea behind the design was to blend seamlessly with the mountain’s structure and offer new gathering space, as well as volume for the hall itself.
Biggest task for us to solve was surely to find views that will showcase the strong points of the design, but at the same time make the building readable. The flow of the public spaces is quite unique so we were bringing focus to most important features.

The project was done in-house of the architectural office- mecanoo. The advantages of making competition renders in-house is the continuous workflow together with the architects.

Waiting for the sun

/in , /by

This project is called “Waiting for the sun” and it is the first one I did after the Masterclass. Before start working on it, I took some time to read over the topics of the course. Since it was my first project, I tried to create a simple scene on which I could apply the information learned as I wanted to add it to my portfolio.

With this project I worked a lot on the scene lighting. Since the beginning, the biggest problem I had was to show the chromatic contrast between the exterior night light and the warm light of the interior. I’ve always been fascinated by this contrast but I knew that for me it wouldn’t have been easy to create it as I had never used those tools before. A few months ago I could have never made an image like this one. I’m really happy and proud of the result.

First I looked for references to get the right mood, then I modeled the scene and lighted it. The lighting is a simple one: a HDRI by Peter Guthrie and a set of artificial lights. I did many test in the rendering stage and many of them didn’t look like the mood I wanted. So, for the first time, I used the V-Ray light select pass and there it was! Thanks to it, in post-production I had more control on the artificial lights in terms of exposure.

The final step was the post-production in Photoshop. At the beginning I had some problems because of the adjustments on the scene’s assets. But I found this part very exciting and in the end I got the mood that I had in my mind.
