First time trying out Phoenix FD by chaos group. Used this for all the water, and love it. really awesome software.

The mood reference for this image was Hunter house by Henry Goss

The only challenge I set myself on this project was to go as photo real as I could, and create a believable image. First time using Forestpack on this one, it’s great, and pretty easy to use. Really enjoyed this project and will be doing the interiors next.

I’ve always loved the vibe and world in Altered carbon, and with season 2 coming out I thought I’d re-watch season 1 and try and create something cool. I thought it’d serve as good practice in 3ds with some of the more complex objects and lighting needed.

An exploration of light and dark, and a celebration of the beauty of simplicity.
I am fascinated with architecture in it’s purest form. To me, there is nothing more beautiful than a minimal but balanced composition. This remake of Luis Barrgan’s famous ‘Casa Giraldi’ (1977) House design gave me the opportunity to really focus on light and dark, contrast, colour and saturation, and to delve into some of Corona’s more detailed settings in terms of lighting, render settings and materials.

I’ve recently been exploring the machines that bring us energy, and how they are all quite alien structures and are always juxtaposed with the very natural and open landscape that they sit within. I’ve always thought they’d look more at home in the future,so I’ve been putting them there, just for fun.

This was all made in 3ds max from scratch (apart from vegetation). I’m currently in the process of developing 3ds max modelling and corona rendering skills and building up my portfolio ready for next year.

This image is all about exploring energy systems. I wanted to convey their giant imposing nature, but also they’re oddly futuristic yet industrial vibe. I used cinematography from blade runner and a lot of real world photography as references for this, I wanted the image to be at home both in the present day, but also straight out of a post apocalyptic future universe, I think it works, do you?

Currently working through my cabins submission and thought I’d upload something to the showcase. This is definitely not a finished piece but I thought it was interesting. Would love to hear all your feedback on this!
