Vicky Bedford’s Render vs. Photo / Kitchen No. 1 received great feedback back in October 2012 as well as awarding her Best Visualization of that Month. I never get tired of this real vs. cg game, and so I’m very happy that Vicky shares here more information about the making of this scene. Enjoy! (And keep sending me your own Render vs. Photo attempts!)
Romie Valentino’s White / Pink Apartment Interior awarded him as one of the week’s best back in September 2012, and today he comes back, sharing with us a little bit of the behind the scenes. Romie didn’t only do the 3d here, but also responsible for the interior design of the apartment. Enjoy this one and let us know what you think by commenting below.
Running late on this one, but here they are – The Best Visualizations of 2012 posted on the forums! This is my way to say to my forum members “Thank you for sharing your great work with us all!” 52 images have been selected as Best of the Week and from those 12 were selected as Best of each month and will get 100 Euro voucher to spend on DesignConnected. One of those 12 has been selected as Best of the Year 2012 and gets a 600 Euro voucher for Designconnected. Enjoy the showcase!
iToo Software has introduced their 2012 showreel, featuring remarkable works by their many users of ForestPack and RailClone. Check out and enjoy the video. Congrats to all the artists being featured in it!
Krzysztof Czerwinski created a great looking 3d birch trees pack, ready to be used in 3dsmax with VRay, that his sharing for free over at VizPeople. There are 18 3d tree models in this pack, all modeled with the script ATree3D (for 3dsmax). Get them, use them, tell us what you think about them!
Ben Cooper is not the usual ArchVIZ suspect. Currently working at The Dreamvision Company / Character Matters studio as producer of a new short film using Lightwave as their core 3d application. He was part of the team that created the charming animated short Hooked, and it sure hooked me! Exploring Bens work has led me to his CGSociety lighting challenge entry, which is the subject of this article. Enjoy!
