I’ve seen this work by Mark as it was building up and taking shape. What a great finale! awarding him Best of Week 48/2015 and today I’m happy to share the making-of these beautiful visuals by Mark Staddon. Being a Prefab project makes it all the more interesting. Designed by Alchemy Architects and located in Mafra Texas. Mark took some creative license on this one and used 3ds Max, Corona Renderer, and Photoshop to get it done. Enjoy!
Following up on Why do people make life so complicated, AXYZ design continues the series with the 2nd chapter demonstrating the benefits of using 3d people models. This time about Lights & Shadows, and how this process becomes so easy when it comes to 3d Characters, getting perfectly accurate results right out the render engine.
Pixelpark‘s ‘Termitary House’ visuals, inspired by the real ‘Termitary House’ in Thanh Khê District, Da Nang, Vietnam designed by Tropical Space Studio, awarded them Best Visualization of the Week NO. 49/2015 for a remarkable CG remake and level of details they went into remaking the house signature feature – The Bricks. Follow this article as they describe the process of creating these highly photorealistic visuals using 3dsmax, GrowFX, V-Ray and just a bit of postwork. Enjoy!
tresde’s Santi Sánchez makes a new appearance on the blog with his recent project “IRACEMA”. He previously posted the making-of ‘Crystal Box’ Villa, which was mostly post-production based and now we can see a mostly pure 3d / photo-realistic base approach. Follow Santi as he goes about describing his process from start to finish below. Enjoy!
It’s here! Part Two of the Making of the, Award Winning, “La Geria” Vineyard by Factory Fifteen. If you missed Part One, go ahead and read it first. Today’s article focuses on the unique craters landscape and amazing grape harvesting drones that hover all over the place! Paul also covers topics such as camera setup, blueprints, music and packaging projects as levels in Unreal Engine 4. Enjoy!
Because! That’s why! The topic of people in visualization is always coming up and doing it 2d in post vs. 3d just the same. Each method has its pros and cons, and today I’m sharing a new and somewhat unusual tutorial by my good friends at AXYZ design. This might look like total newbie grade for most of you, but it is a first in a series and a great starting point for those not familiar with the use of scanned 3d people models. In this case, from their Metropoly collection. There are 8 chapters to be expected, that will go from basic tips about angles and reflections, to advanced and detailed analysis of the entire workflow, focusing on the principles of using such assets, regardless of the modeling or render engine that you use. You are welcome to comment on this topic below.
