Demistify Archviz : Macro Shot 01

I just finished my tin toy classic car model using Blender. Surfacing, lighitng and render were done using Mantra in Houdini. I just added the interior of the environment and applied clay shading to test lighting and render samples. Hopefully I can wrap them up on weekend

Demystify Archviz II : WIP 01

First WIP on my Demystify Archviz II using Houdini. Still gathering ideas. Geez, deadlines from my work gives me very limited time to put more ideas for this one.

Demystifying Archviz I : Decor

An attempt to demystifying archviz using Sidefx Houdini’s Mantra. A mini project but yet quite fun. Darktable is used for retouching the results.

a sunday afternoon wip #2

After struggling with texturing and blocking all the colors, finally I stepped into lighting stage to start blocking all colors and mood first. Here’s the first attempt to block the lighting :

There are still lots of homework to be done for this one :
1. The wall sucks, need to change it somehow to match up the whole room
2. Need to add up some props to make it more interesting like wall phone, wires, etc.
3. Fix the red grain inside the bottle, looks like frozen blood pellets.
4. Umbrella holder looks fake, need to find more reference to make it better
5. Revise lighting
6. Setup renderpasses
7. Look for more appropriate backdrop

So much to do in so little time. Sigh..hope it works well
