I present to you this interview with HOVER judge Zoran Gorski (Kizo) form Arscom Studio, Croatia. He is a seasoned CINEMA 4D user and is well-known in the 3D community. Last year he won rendering competitions at Evermotion, 3D Allusions, Vizdepot and Zwischendrin.

Making of “Bedroom White & Wood” by Ramon Zancanaro
A making of a great scene – “Bedroom White & Wood” by Ramon Zancanaro was posted on 3DTotal today. You must take a look at it… and also visit Ramon’s website to see more great work of his.
Checkout the original evermotion thread of this project here. I also suggest you take a look at his Nero Amore thread at the forums showcase gallery.
Small Worlds
Small Worlds is a series of tilt shift short films by Keith Loutit. I really love this technique and Keith truly excels at it! In this one you can also see how the built landscape transfers in such a way… no other words are needed, just watch and enjoy.

BRIX by Materialwerk
Materialwerk has just released BRIX, a new tool for 3ds Max & Maya that offers a solution to working with tiled materials (planks, bricks, tiles, mosaics, stone cladding and more). Bertrand Benoit posted a very informative article about his first steps with BRIX you really should take a look at. You can also see some of Bertrand’s tests below.
