/1 Comment/in , , /by

Many of you asked for more insight on how-to use the procedural texture plugin – MightyTiles by Mighty Instruments, the procedural texture tiling plugin for 3d Studio Max. Peter Guthrie has been using it for some time now, with great success and kindly explains the process of creating a relatively simple material but also one that would be much more difficult to do without using a plugin such as MightyTiles. This isn’t intended as a complete tutorial, but it does cover some of the harder to grasp aspects of MightyTiles. Enjoy!

Making of Neue Nationalgalerie in the Rain

/in , , /by

The Neue Nationalgalerie has become a great case study lately, seeing artists testing personal skills based on it. Such is the work by Romuald Chaigneau, a newcomer to the forum, who took the NNG for a spin in the rain. Seeing his original raw render makes his postwork on this really shine, and I was very interested in seeing his process and for him to share it with us all here. It reminds me of the work Christopher Malheiros did with his NNG at Night, and it is very interesting to see how both took the bare model to final result using a similar approach. Enjoy this short breakdown, and let us know what you think!

House AA / OAB

One more house by OAB. A Carlos Ferrater interesting 7×7 geometric grid with a twist house design featuring diagonal pitched roofs acting as skylights and doubling the heights of the various rooms. Very cool seeing the house exterior both in snow and vibrant green / blue dusk shot, as well as the various interior day time reference shots.
