Here a few images done last year, the latest in a series about re-creating modernist architecture in Berlin and beyond. Known today as the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures), this building is the work of US architect Hugh Stubbins, a student of Walter Gropius in Harvard. It was erected in 1957 ...
Some people (my family included) may be forgiven for thinking that I have vanished from the surface of the earth. Such rumours are widely exaggerated. In fact, I have been busy migrating to a new workstation and turning the old one into a slave. The power horse in question is an HP Z820 with the ...
I am mostly of a placid composition and not easily annoyed. But there are a few things that can make me twitch. One of these is theft.
I’ve neglected the blog lately, I know. But I will be preparing some updates in the coming days.
As some of you may have noticed, BBB3viz has just undergone a modest makeover.
I’ve had many questions in the past year or so about the skies I’ve been using in my scenes. For a long time, I wasn’t at liberty to say much about them. No longer. I’m happy to report that Marcel Vijfwinkel, the man behind the enormously popular CGTextures.com, and his accomplice Wojtek Starak have now ...
Something amazing came out of the blue today. The website for 3D World’s inaugural CG Awards went live and it turns out my Tribeca Loft image had been selected among the six nominees for the architectural stills category, the only still images category. I’m over the moon, especially since I’m sharing the shortlist with people ...
It’s been a long time coming, but the excellent Peter Guthrie has now published the final images for his snowy rendition of the “Twins” house by William O’Brien Jr. and, unsurprisingly, it is a show-stopper. These are for me among the very best images Peter has produced to date. They make for yet another stunning ...
Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve been selected to appear in Exposé 9 by Ballistic Publishing, which goes on sale today. This is great news, of course, and I’m very excited about receiving my copy. The Ballistic books were among the first I picked up upon entering the CG arena – ...
I assume everyone with a faible for Archviz knows this already, but just in case, Ronen Bekerman‘s Hover challenge is now officially over, with a stunning list of winning images. Special congrats go to Grand Prize winner Benjamin Brosdau, a Vray and Maxwell meister and esteemed member of the Pure crew. Head over here to ...
Sorry for the late post, but if you haven’t done so already, take a look at Ronen Bekerman‘s new Hover Architectural Challenge, which has started here. You will find some really exciting threads already and a lot to learn. I should mention that I will be a judge on the challenge, together with Ronen and ...
Yes, this is just another 3D vizualisation blog. Exactly. Over recent months, I found that my old website was getting more and more of a pain to update and, as a result, I stopped updating it. So instead of an ancient, out-of-date (and rather ugly) website, what you get now is this bare-bone blog, which ...
