State of Art Academy / Master Class #6
With recent news about SOA’s Academy Day #4 and the completion of MasterClass #6 I thought it will be nice to feature the great work of the students of class #6 and what they think and feel about their experience. I came to know SOA back in early 2010 seeing Roberto’s ‘Maison Hermes’ visual and since then I’ve been in constant contact with Gianpiero & Roberto and attended Academy Days #2 & #3 and loved every minute of it! Taking my online acquaintance with them to a personal level I can say (as we do In my family) they are True Mensch! I will not miss Academy Day #4 and hope to see you there too.
Tred Avon River House by Robert M. Gurney Architect
Location, location… location! The Trend Avon River House sure got this one covered form all angles. Designed by Robert M. Gurney Architect, it is surrounded by views of the river looking different as you circle around its 3 main volumes connected with a glass bridge. Great reference for daytime and dusk looking at the photos taken by Maxwell MacKenzie.
Making of Garden Office
I love PRE-FAB Architecture a lot, which is probably why two artists have been awarded Best Visualization of the Week No. 16. Sérgio Merêces‘s Garden Office image was one of them, and today I’m happy to share his making-of this scene. Follow him as he describe his process from the initial modeling all the way to final post-production. Enjoy!
Making of House 2P
Mark La Frenais did a great dusk visualization of House 2P in Zagreb that was designed by SANGRAD + AVP Arhitekti. Done as a personal project, he based it on a day view photo but went all dusk with it and got a great result. He kindly shares with us a glimpse into the making of this scene here. Enjoy!
Rooftops, Rockets and Adventures Beyond
I just have to share this amazing labor of love by inspiring CG Artist – Marek Denko. Titled “Rooftops, Rockets and Adventures Beyond” and easily ranks among the best and most amazing visuals I’ve seen to date – subject, composition, color, details, Details, DETAILS! A lot of love went into this gift he made for his children… A feast for the eyes and soul.
Laubwerk 3D Plants Kit
Theres a new kid on the veggie block that you should be aware of. I’ve tested Berlin based Laubwerk’s 3D Plants Kits for a while now, and it is a very interesting solution for populating your scenes with 3d Trees and Plants. A combination of smart content powered by a plugin from within 3ds Max & Cinema4D, supporting V-Ray, Mental Ray, Scanline and Advanced Render.
