Marcin on this project technical aspects :

I would like to introduce my recently finished personal project visualization of House O by Jun Igarashi Architects. My main goal was to check the possibilities available with the new version of Next Limit’s Maxwell Render software. I was trying to achieve realistic mood with simple but interesting modern building from Japan. I was playing with light, mood, weather and season. Every detail was created in 3D. I did some final touches in post like color corrections, contrast, final color mood. I worked on that project about three months. All scenes were rendered from one to four PC machines. I know that many effects like steam, fog motion blur falling leaves for example are simple to make in post-production but as I said before I wanted to make all of those effects in pure 3d scene.

There are a few workflow details below :

• Most of terrain materials have a displacements – Ground, Tarmac, Curbs & Pavement.
• All moving objects like flying insects & falling leaves were made as moving objects and rendered with Maxwell Render object motion blur option. This part of my work was very interesting.
• Diffraction, fog, steam, DOF blur, and volumetrics were rendered by Maxwell Render. Some slow effects too.
• Most models are taken from Evermotion, Viz People and CGAxis 3D collections.

Software used :

• Modo 701
• Cinema 4D R15
• Maxwell Render 3.0
• Photoshop
• Lightroom
• Red Giant Looks
