Casa Enseada by Rick Eloy
Images based on “Casa Enseada”, by Arquitetura Nacional. You can find the original, marvelous project here: http://design-milk.com/brazilian-beach-house-weekends-holidays/
There are some minor differences between this rendition and the original design, but they’re simply for me to practise some specific skills (I wouldn’t change the design, of course!).
This set was a great opportunity for me to finally use Chaos Group’s wonderful VRScans materials, an incredible material library made from custom scanned real world materials. If you’re not familiar with those, I strongly advise you to give them a spin. They’re basically ready to use, photorealistic materials created using Chaos’ proprietary scan technology and all you have to do is insert them in your scene. No tweaking, no guessing.
I also used some commercial models bought from Design Connected (the Poltrona Mole, by Sergio Rodrigues) and 3DSky.org (the dining set, kitchen appliances) and some other free stuff from Dimensiva. Some high resolution textures were bought from Textures.com, making the creation of the floor material a lot easier. Those are really great resources and very affordable.
As far as softwares are concerned, I used the usual suspects: 3ds Max 2017, V-Ray 3.50.04 and Photoshop.
