Hard to believe, but it’s been ONE year since I launched this blog… Time does fly when your having fun, isn’t it. It went live with the Blog is born post and it’s nice to look back and see what I had in mind back then and what did happen during the past months… I hope I can celebrate many more birthdays for this blog and keep providing you all the best place to find information, share & learn about Architectural Visualization.

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.
Materialwerk published the BRIX lite version for download at their website. They have also added a Video Tutorial Page. I’ve embedded them inside the post below too.
zwischendrin has released SnowFlow v1.6. It is a 3D Studio Max plugin that creates realistic snow with ease! Apeerantly all you need to do is pick an object and SnowFlow does the snow for you! This come very close to the snow discussion at the GH Challenge Forum – might be a good solution for all those winter scenes in the works.
The Challenge is about to start in a day! I’ve added the information pages to the blog under the new Challenges option in the navigation above.
