Residential apartments on the Balears Islands of Spain are made in the style of architecture of southern Europe. The simple architectural forms, the white color of the façade in combination with the glass elements fit perfectly into the environment. Also in the minimalist style made interior living spaces.
During this project it was very helpful to revise carefully the tropical context of the Philippines, and particularly of this location, where sugar cane fields are abundant and there is some specific vegetation like palm trees.
The goal of this project was to make images of impact in a short amount of time. Studying references that would give us an idea of the kind of lighting we could use was vital, thanks to this we could overcome this stage to have the desired final result.
Lately I’ve been using exclusively Redshift for my renders. It’s extremely fast and reliable, but my personal conclusion is that i can’t get the same level of detail and realism as a CPU based render like Vray. This Is not necessarily bad, the final images can be still artistically rich and interesting if you know what you’re doing. Realism is not everything! In my case, i did the best i could considering my time was limited. Some details could have definitely been better, but i had to compromise. Nothing really special in my workflow: Modeled and textured in 3ds max, used Polygon Textures, Forest pack+Laubwerk for the vegetation and marvelous for the soft parts. I’ve designed and modeled most major interior assets like the Couch, bed, Tables, kitchen ecc.Some color adjustments in photoshop. The exterior scenes are fully CGI.
