Modernist aproach

This project started as a getaway to the commercial projects I usually do. A more minimalist approach where furniture and materials take center stage.

The scene is illuminated by one of my own HDRI’s (nothing special, you can achive the same result with almost every cloudy hdri). Almost every model in the scene are done by myself. Except from some great online models:

In addition, this project has given me the opportunity to test dabarti capture. A really amazing tool

House in Leira

Probably the most complicated part of the entire project was modelling the house. Firstly it was challenging because even after days I would discover new details and spaces that I hadn’t seen before or are not visible in photos. The modelling part was done with an obsession for the details.
The house itself is so minimal that would result in a non-photorealistic render if all the little details and shadow gaps were not modelled properly. So the main focus was to obtain a model as detail as possible. The second challenge was lighting and fine tuning the textures of the wood and reflections.
Once I was happy with both model and materials, I started to study different cameras and particularly different lighting conditions.
And I guess it’s worth mentioning the grass and gravel which were all 3d modelled and scattered with Multiscatter.
I hope you like it.
