Vayle – 1.1

Firstly, Im not certain that this strictly counts as architectural visualisation but I often visit this site for inspiration so, at least to me, it seemed appropriate. This started as my first experiment in using Forest Pro, but expanded a little beyond that. Because the project evolved organically ( no pun intended! ) from its initial concept, i’m not particularly happy with the final composition. But I am very pleased with my learnings about Forest Pro, Vray Fog, new material theories, and some post production techniques. Hopefully this will be the first of a few images I have in mind based around the countryside location and Brutalist structures of the fictional ‘Vayle Facility’. 🙂

In anticipation of a miracle

This project was inspired by Christmas atmosphere and lovely new fashion of floral chandlers.

I think an attainment of balance between tradition perception and modern currents was the most difficult task for me.

As base I took 3 colours: red, green and warm yellow (they are associated with Christmas classicaly). It and thoughtful light immediately set the general atmosphere. In the choice of materials the restriction of fantasy was no longer necessary. As a result 2 big peeed brances hang on air on thin cables, they are carcass for all other elements. Wood are connected by a garland whose stands stretched to a straight line and rhythmically repeating light bulbs contrast with the smooth bendings of the trees and the prickly chaos of the pine branches and the pampas grass.

From the technical point of view, I modeled and textured all decor in this scene. Used 3dsmax, V-Ray, GrowFX and Photoshop.

Taekwondo – The fighters

The Taekwondo Fighters life is no ordinary life, its a life that holds a continuous spark that lights, inspires and aspires dreams and imaginations. Taekwondo for them isn’t just a sport, its a way of life, life full of courage, discipline, honor and passion. They live their days mastering techniques with their heart, soul, and body. Their world has a different dimension of spiritual and physical balance. They fight all the odds, they strive to be the very best, they give it all their strength, all their power, all their love, all their sadness, everything they’ve got, they face pain, they rise and fall, they win and they loose. Their dreams, thoughts, and deep into their core soul wants to achieve something they’ve always dreamed of and wished for. Each fighter is giving his absolute best, aiming for their finest day to come. The Championships is their ultimate goal where they try to seize this moment of greatness that will ever be carved in their’s and everyone else’s heart. To give their best performance and win a medal for themselves, for their country and for their family and friends. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are from or even how strong you are, its much more than that, its strategy, technique, courage, speed, power etc… all combined together to form this artfully unique, Olympic sport.

I had the privilege to live some of these moments and be part of this amazing sport. It has been an incredible life experience that will always be carved inside me.

Technical info.

The intent behind this project/design and series of visuals is to present a few moments from the fighter’s competition experiences. I have designed the sport
arena’s lines, shapes, and features to reflect some of the Taekwondo aesthetics like Motion, dynamism, speed and sleekness…..

House in Bolu

The model sent without terrain, terrain modeled manually and trees placed with forestpack plugin. Athmosphere is the main focus for me, building fresh cold feeling and foggy snowy effects was a challenge but generally working with snow material was fun. Rendering done with vray 3.60 hybrid rendering, elements saved seperately athmosphere lights and refract/reflect passes so postproccesing was quick.
