The GH House – Architectural Visualization Challenge I

Are you ready to be Challenged?

I started this blog with the aim of becoming a trusted source for sharing & learning about all aspects of architectural visualization, regardless of software or style.

That is why It was very clear to me that competitions… challenges as I name them, are going to be an integral part of it.

We all do personal projects. Some do it a lot as means for self-improvement, and for others, those are few and far between due to the daily client work that never ends. Both benefit greatly when channeling the effort into a structured and scheduled personal project in the form of a challenge.

All the big challenges being held on this blog are WIP style challenges… A Work In Progress, in which all updates are being shared among all challengers and visitors of the forums. This way one can truly benefit and become motivated by the feedback of his peers, as well as give feedback and motivate others.

It is remarkable and infinitely interesting to see this process during a challenge, sharing and learning as it evolves and reaches the finish line.

Personal work for me is pretty few and far between these days and competitions provide a forum to reconnect and strive for the best possible outcome and to get feedback by others is an invaluable resource, so thanks to those who follow and take part.

Competitions are so much more interesting when they offer an opportunity to learn new skills and tools. This challenge not only got me re-acquainted with Maxwell Render, it allowed me, indeed it forced me, to explore many aspects of it in a much deeper way than I had before!

What Others Say

I don’t like to brag so I’ll let others do it for me 😉

Ronen Bekerman’s Architectural Visualization Blog & Forum is not only an excellent website which has gathered around it all best 3D Archviz artists around the world, it is also a really good tool to expand your knowledge on this field and be part of an amazing online 3d community.
I would like to recommend Ronen Bekerman blog & forum for everyone who is working in the architectural visualisation business. I check Ronen’s blog every day to see the latest news in our business. Every time I check his site I feel very much inspired by all the information Ronen collects from all over the world. Ronen is always well informed about the latest news and tutorials. I see Ronen as a great support for the whole cgi business. I met Ronen several times in Venice where I got to know him as a very social and friendly person. Thank you very much Ronen
Information wealth on 3D visualization that can be found on Ronen’s blog helped me tremendously speed up my learning process. Up to day, it’s the best blog concerning the architecture visualization industry.
Ronen is a fantastic 3D Artist and he also runs an exceptional Arch Viz blog that I have had the privilege of contributing to. Ronen’s understanding of 3D and refined eye has created one of the best Arch Viz blogs today.
The Ronen Bekerman’s blog inspired me every day. He had a great idea putting together the most important 3d artist’s works and a lot of useful information about 3d resources. I had the honor of working with him in a complex architectural project and I just can say that he is a hard worker, very fast and professionally.
There are few people who are natural-born writers, and fewer still who can use that skill for web and magazine work. Ronen not only writes intelligent and witty content – but also has the drive, diligent self-organisation and technical know-how to make it shine. He works tirelessly and his enthusiasm is infectious. If you want to know about arch-viz, Ronen’s your man.
