Out with the old and in with the new! In Converted, I’m asking you to take an in-depth look at existing architecture near you or one you love worldwide and introduce something new.
I used only 3dsmax and Corona Renderer for this piece. Textures are all hand painted and this is the raw render with no post processing done. No HDRI image. Lighting was achieved with a number of lights in the scene. The books are also handpainted as well as the text on them. Textures were hand painted using Photoshop and some textures using Blender 3d painting feature. Viewport Canvas (3dsmax painting feature) was also used for hand painting textures.
The challenge was to illustrate a secret garden. I thought that besides the location, the garden has to keep some real secrets. In many traditional cultures there is the symbol of the tree, center of everything (universe, world, axis mundi etc) so I made it ‘tree of life’ literally. The Light, souls, unborn child’s, maybe knowledge if we force the sense. The surrounding environment it’s meant to emphasise the center piece.
It won’t be polite if we didn’t introduce our self first. PRIM3D is Skopje (Macedonia) based design and production studio formed in 2016 by 3D artists and architects.
LET THEM series
The series “LET THEM’ is our campaign for reaching to potential clients. Through the series we show how can virtual reality open new possibilities to real estate.
Every project that is part of the campaign is available on multiple platforms including VR (Oculus and HTC Vive).
Giving the customers opportunity to customize the space will make them more confident in their decision of purchasing their new real estate.
Düsseldorf
This project is representing office space giving opportunity to change the mood of the scene with different colors and materials for the walls, floor, furniture and interactive lights. Navigation through the scene can be done with walking or drone mode.
You can check other interactive elements in the walkthrough of this project.
The workflow starts with an architectural floor plan that is later imported and processed in a 3D software. After all the initial preparations are finished and all the required assets are made the project is transferred to Unreal Engine.
The pictures shown below are edited in Photoshop to display the interactions that can be made in the scene.
Here I am to compare two incredible render engines like VRayforC4D and Maxwell Render on an interior scene created in Cinema4D.
I often work with both of them but obviously not on the same project. I decided to model this scene and recreate a typical Ikea set to compare render speed, image cleaning, settings and materials used for the same set, lights and camera settings.
This test doesn’t want to figure out which is the best render engine simply because it would not be possible, each of them has its own characteristics and they are two excellent products. It would be like comparing Canon and Nikon!
In this test I used 1.9 versions of VRayforC4D and 3.2.5 version of Maxwell Render, both of CPU. The images are rendered on clients with two quad Xeon 2.13 Ghz.
