Quinta da Rocha by Jacinto Monteiro

/in , /by

Images order reflects a path in the situation plan, starting in the Hotel views and finishing in Ria house. We were invited by a great group of people to participate in a rural-turism masterplan taken place in Quinta da Rocha, with 200 hectares. In Portugal, it´s located near the Alvor bay, an amazing natural-fishing resort: 37° 7’55.86″N 8°36’18.77″W

Since the environment is a protected area with pre-existing buildings the goal of the images was to show… a non-existing new project. Hard to describe the architectural concept behind this work. Anyway all the 3D nature we selected and placed was oriented by the landscape architect. Its similar to the real situation and direct comparations will be made in a book. An huge amount of different vegetation species was used. It was also important to capture the feeling, smell and temperature of Algarve and respect everyone wishes into the images.

Ideas such as: renew; existent; real; natural; rural; landscape; horizon; path; wild; local materials; modify as less as possible; were taken into consideration. Architecture leadership is from “Menos é Mais”, design by “United by”, landscape by “Outras Paisagens” and images by “Metro Cúbico Digital”.

The work is almost full 3D (we used drone photos for the backgrounds) and was once again created with 3DSMax, Corona and a bit of Photoshop. Totally our record in terms of size and usage of Itoo Forest. In some images, some cool things we used was corona volume material for the soft clouds, vertex paint in the paths, and substance material for the buildings white walls. Corona Sun was the only choice for us. Such a big scene. We are posting half the size of the original images. Originals were 7500px largest size. A book is currently being developed and we hope to be able to share it too soon.

Hope you like it!
Best regards, Jacinto

Wood House by Krzysztof Pysz

Wood House is a set of 3D images of a single-family building in Norway. The project included floorplans and a terrace view with a more commercial look.
In this project, we aimed for a mixture of photorealism vs unique atmosphere.
The rendering was done in CoronaRenderer with help of Quixel Megascans and amazing Itoo ForestPack plugin.

Enjoy.

This project is the story of the artist, whose passion is to convey the beauty of this world through the prism of his own vision. He is constantly looking for a simple, but at the same time, a rare combination of shapes, spots, catching moments, glare, and weather conditions. This process is the main pleasure in his life. Today he will tell you about a small trip and share with you his findings. Enjoy watching.

Göteborg apartment by Konstantinos Douzis

/in , /by

This one was laying in my hard disk unfinished for quite some time now.
It’s inspired by an existing apartment in Göteborg, Sweden modified to my taste and needs.
I used a lot of free (as far as I can remember) props from around the net.
The rest I modeled them myself.

My intention was to produce a more warm, pleasant and familiar look, something that feels more homelike and not a perfectly designed space, that will felt somehow “stiff” and set, like the ones you meet a lot in the design magazines and some architectural renders.
I even tried to make some deliberate shooting “mistakes” to give a touch of “amateurism”.
