5 Forest Pack Tutorials / Modern Barn
In their continuous effort to make the use of Forst Pack as easy as possible, Long time blog & challenges sponsor, iToo Software, created a series of five tutorials that explore features of Forest Pack introduced since version 3.6. Four tutorials deal with the creation of the forest object necessary to create the image above while the final tutorial demonstrates features of the forest color material.
Making of Baltic Sea House Grass and Sand
There is no shortage in 3D Grass or Sand making how to articles, and a few been published on this blog in the past. Such was Javier Pintor’s Procedural VRay Sand approach and Sascha Henrichs 3D Sand Dunes modeling approach. This time, Piotr Wolowski offers his approach to this subject by letting us into his personal project – Baltic Sea House, created specifically us a study in recreating the look and feel of a typical Baltic Sea nature surrounding a private residence. Sand & Grass being a main feature here… Enjoy!
Making of Urban Apartment by Enrico Cerica
Enrico Cerica published his Urban Apartment personal project renders on the forums a month ago. He made an impressive set using the Octane Render GPU application and I was very intrigued by that. It is not the first time I’ve seen work being done with Octane Render… you all remember Bertrand’s work with it too, but this time Enrico showed us a complete apartment model with lots of modeling and texture detail in it which we all know is an issue with GPU based ray-trace engines due to memory limitations. I asked him to share more information with me about his work and the way he manages his scenes and that turned into this article. Enjoy!
Making of Roldal Pilgrim Center by Plankton Group
Planktongroup published the Røldal Pilgrim Center visual back in March this year, and it made a big impact on me. It reminded me a lot of MIR’s style, being located at Norway helped with that too… But this is a great piece of work standing alone, and relying so heavily on the use of Photoshop in achieving the final result form what proves to be a very simple raw render (from a super simple SketchUP model) makes the following read very interesting. Enjoy!
