Budget Cream Kitchen Cabinetry CGI

Our client developed a new range of no-frills kitchen cabinetry in order to appeal to a wider market. They briefed our designers to create CG showcasing the new kitchen cabinetry without using high-end fixtures or surfaces. Using quality propping and a strong simple layout we’ve managed to elevate this kitchen interior, proving that good design isn’t always about expensive products.

The team used 3DSMax to create the 3D elements and rendered with Corona adding finishing touches and colour adjustments in Adobe Photoshop and Fusion Studio 16.

Rietveld Schroderhuis

Rietveld Schröderhuis is the first building i had to draw back in university while studying architecture. Last month in the office at REDVERTEX we had a challenge to re-do a project from our university days. And i decided to model and visualize it. The Rietveld Schröderhuis (build in 1924) in Utrecht is an icon of the Modern Movement in architecture and an outstanding expression of human creative genius in its purity of ideas and concepts as developed by the De Stijl movement. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage site. I tried a lot of different camera angles, moods, a lot of depth of field usage and explored a bit more photographic approaches. The whole scene is build in 3Ds max and with a little help of ZBrush. Photoshop was used for the final touches.

Bespoke Bedroom Furnishings

Handcrafted bespoke furniture deserves the very best CG to demonstrate its elegance and sophistication. Our client manufactures bespoke wardrobes and cabinets and wanted to expand their brochure imagery. Our interior designers used their brief of ‘less is more’ styling and natural lighting to produce these images. Also, how good is the CG bedding that one of our talented artists crafted!
