Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, here’s a captivating yellow bedroom interior featuring our client’s sleek built-in three-door sliding mirrored wardrobe and freestanding drawers. Our 3D team painstakingly ensured that every model and texture was flawless for this scene, considering the possibility of reflections from both sides of the room. Additional renders showcase the freestanding dresser/drawers and internal drawer pack, allowing the client to highlight key features for their customers.

These flatlays serve as versatile tools to capture the essence of the interior, becoming captivating features in brochures and webpages.

We predominantly used 3DSMax and Corona for this scene, with cloth and soft furnishing models completed using Zbrush. Final adjustments in colour and composition were made in Fusion Studio and Photoshop to add the finishing touches.

June 26, 2024 / in 3dsmax, Corona Renderer, Photoshop, ZBrush / by Richard Benson

It has been a little while since our last post, but here’s one of our recent favourite interiors crafted for one of our kitchen clients. They wanted to showcase their cabinetry in more spaces than just the kitchen area, which allowed us to get creative with the brief and build a whole area to spend quality time with the family whilst still maintaining a contemporary luxury aesthetic.

Our vision for the interior was to create an open plan kitchen and living space connected with the outdoors, giving a greater impression of space. Our designers used expansive floor-to-ceiling windows to flood the space with natural light. Modern furniture with organic textures create a cohesive ambiance that blends home comforts with the tranquility of nature, inviting the natural beauty inside.
