One more house by OAB. A Carlos Ferrater interesting 7×7 geometric grid with a twist house design featuring diagonal pitched roofs acting as skylights and doubling the heights of the various rooms. Very cool seeing the house exterior both in snow and vibrant green / blue dusk shot, as well as the various interior day time reference shots.
I like architectural designs & visualizations with water in them. Make it seaside and I absolutely LOVE it – but then, who doesn’t? That’s why it didn’t take me long to reach Pedro Fernandes and ask him about how he made the “Seaside Feeling” image you see here, up above. Pedro has freelance experience in really interesting companies such as Vyonyx, Crystal CG and F10 Studios. He’s portfolio showcase both full 3d scene resulting images as well as dominantly matte-painted works, so it is interesting to learn how he goes about creating an image. Enjoy!

Shot over a 3 day span, the tilt-shift effect was done in Photoshop.
I’ve been following Roberto Valls work, and Rendertaxi, ever since I first picked up Maxwell Render in late 2005. His work was a big source of inspiration for me, and after he won 2nd place in the NGA House / Maxwell Render Challenge with The Museum / Maxwell Render Challenge brewing, I asked him to showcase his workflow with us based on one of his scenes. I’m happy to share this article with you now, which features the use of Cinema4D yet again – this time with Maxwell Render.
