Modern Apartment – Realtime VR by Artur Szóstakowski

Project developed with an intent of giving a client a chance to fully explore the design in Realtime VR using CGI. Modeled in blender and developed in Unity HDRP. Project content is a Realtime Walkthrough video, a VR recording of the project and some still images generated from the project.

The process of working on this project was really interesting and fun.

First I created entire model in Blender and I have made some reference renders for the right lighting I wanted to achieve in Unity. I used a shadowmasking technique in Unity HDRP to get nice soft light within the apartment and I needed to learn a little about lightmapping and proper polygon management to make this project run smoothly. Finally I added a VR functionality using an Oculus Quest 2 and some little C# coding.

Whiskey distillery by Dmitry Smirnov

This is the first Brandy Distillery in Russia and it is going to be equipped with a high-technology line. That is why the majority of processes will take place in “laboratory cleanliness” and we are going to show the visitors of this manufacture the full extent of what constitutes the alchemical process of obtaining this drink.
The second thing that needs to be said is that the building of the Brandy Distillery expands the architectural ensemble of “Alliance-1892” in the city of Chernyakhovsk, which beginning was marked with the Cognac Museum & Warehouse; also, this building is not the last element in the development of this ensemble.
Now, about the project itself. In the search for the form, we referred to the spirit of this drink and discovered that this is a strong “masculine” drink, that was born in Scotland and, accordingly, its spirit is akin to the Celtic one.
Thus, we concluded, that “HE” should be soldierlike and redoubtable but not without ornament, obviously masculine and in its character. We used these ornaments – ethnic marks on the substrate – the ground on which the building is located, also referring to the drink’s place of origin by the use of black stone – the signature of the Scottish land.
Since the major part of the building is occupied by the technological process, which is not very interesting for viewing and almost does not require human intervention, it is housed in a long solid box – the light well in the roof provides illumination to this part of the building. The central “spectacle” of the production is the distillation process, and it takes place in copper “cubes” which are presented not only to the visitors of the building, but also visible from the side of the Cognac Museum & Warehouse. This space along with the laboratory and the tasting room constitute the head part of the building.
