Focusing on the use of iToo Software‘s 3dsmax 3d scattering plugin, your challenge is to take the freely available autumn park scene and develop your own story within it. miniCHALLENGE#04 will run until the last day of April June 2012 on a dedicated forum section.

I first saw Efim Armand’s NYC TAXI scene during the CityLIFE challenge. He did not get a chance to complete this on time but his remarkable work could not go unnoticed, and I wanted to learn more about how he went about creating this little chunk of NYC and letting a taxi run wild inside it. Efim was very kind to put it into words in the form of this making-of article. Enjoy!
Clearview Residence by Altius Architecture caught my eye in an instant with the rich in materials design and single point perspective viewpoints I like so much. There is so much to learn from just looking at these images that showcase corten steel, grey/blue ‘Cape Cod’ wood siding, ipe wood decking, slate, gravel, grass and more all under daylight and various interior lighting scenarios. I just wished they had taken all the night viewpoints at daytime too.
2009 Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate – Peter Zumthor, is among my favorite architects. I especially like his work on Thermal Bath Vals, and must admit I wasn’t so familiar with his work on Saint Benedict Chapel until Federico Spoltore showcased his 3d recreation of it on the forums… and what a recreation it is!!! I’m sure you’ll learn a new thing or two after reading this. Enjoy!

I love Japanese architecture and Pisopiso by Atelier Ryo Abe Works is a great example. It is also a nice followup to Black Living with the dark wood treatment to the interior. They seem to love the dark side very much… visit AARA website and browse through their other works to see for yourselves. Pisopiso in a great reference for wood work in a dark interior space.
