There’s lots coming from AXYZ this month (with more to come it seems). They released a beautiful new collection of 3D characters inspired by Le Corbusier´s Modulor. The 3rd chapter about the benefits of using 3d people is out and we are going to do a little image competition with you… so get on board!
Following up on Why do people make life so complicated, AXYZ design continues the series with the 2nd chapter demonstrating the benefits of using 3d people models. This time about Lights & Shadows, and how this process becomes so easy when it comes to 3d Characters, getting perfectly accurate results right out the render engine.
Because! That’s why! The topic of people in visualization is always coming up and doing it 2d in post vs. 3d just the same. Each method has its pros and cons, and today I’m sharing a new and somewhat unusual tutorial by my good friends at AXYZ design. This might look like total newbie grade for most of you, but it is a first in a series and a great starting point for those not familiar with the use of scanned 3d people models. In this case, from their Metropoly collection. There are 8 chapters to be expected, that will go from basic tips about angles and reflections, to advanced and detailed analysis of the entire workflow, focusing on the principles of using such assets, regardless of the modeling or render engine that you use. You are welcome to comment on this topic below.
There are benefits to using 3d people models directly within our 3d scenes to be rendered, and as a SketchUP user I’m very happy to see that AXYZ Design joined forces with Chaos Group and announced today about the integration of AXYZ’s 3d human assets libraries with V-Ray for SketchUP and Rhino.
