Publications
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 – ...

Evermotion competition ends
The 2011 Evermotion competition has ended. Below my submissions to the interior section (click for full-size renders). This is a relatively slavish interpretation of Piero Lissoni’s “Loft in Monza”. It also comes complete with a quick-and-dirty animation (Vimeo link below). This is a project I’ve struggled with enormously, essentially due to the impossibility of obtaining ...

Graticule House (and a few chairs)
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a fully formed personal project… and this is not it. This started with the best of intentions but I could never get it quite finished, furnishing-wise. But the house itself (inspired by the Graticule House by David Jameson Architects) is pretty much how it should be, while the ...

Tribeca day
What a day! It began with the news that the latest issue of 3D Creative, this august compendium of CG goodness, had just appeared with a front-lit kitchen image from my Tribeca Loft series (see below) featured in its gallery section. Ok, it isn’t a two-page spread, but still, this is pretty nice (click here ...

Two private projects
It’s been a little while since I last posted images from fully-formed project. So here are two series I finished quite a while back and never really found the time to upload. Both are personal interpretations of existing buildings: Haus M, near Munich, by Titus Bernhard Architekten and residência em aldeia da serra, Brasil, by ...

CGArchitect 3D award!
I had some great news today after my GH House image won this year’s CGArchitect award in the Architectural Image section. Unfortunately, I could not attend the ceremony in Spain on July 7, but Jeff Mottle, CGArchitect’s chief guru, kindly sent it to me by post and I can testify that it is huge, shiny, ...

3D World Portfolio
Just a quick note to say my image, “Bye-Bye Blue Ball”, which finished first at the “When we left earth” challenge on CGArts, has just been published in 3D World Magazine (on page 12 of issue 132), and they gave it a nice full page too. A nice reminder of how different, and perhaps nicer, ...

Tadao Ando – Chicago House
It’s been a while since I posted anything anywhere. Work has kept personal projects at bay. But I did find the time (essentially a long weekend) to do this rather simplied version of Tadao Ando’s Chicago House. Here are a few samples. You can find the full series of renders here.

More good news
Just a quick line to say that one of my images of the Ponce House was selected for the Visualization Pro of the Week on CG Architects. I’m very proud of the accolade from this most venerable and highly professional archviz site. Head over here for the post.

The news that made my day
Great news this morning as I checked Ronen Bekerman’s blog to find that I had won the GH House archviz competition. It’s a fantastic feeling (and equally fantastic prizes). As well as congratulating my fellow winners, I’d like to thank Ronen for finding the time to host this terrifically well organised challenge despite his heavy ...

Casa Ponce
I’ve long had a soft spot for South-American architecture (if that means anything), especially for the work of Chilean architect Mathias Klotz. This series of images show 3d renders of his 2003 Ponce House, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Software used: 3ds Max 2010, VrayScatter, and Vray 1.5 sp4a. I tried to stay faithful to the ...

In the style of Waro Kishi
I had to build an animation-ready environment recently in the style of said architect. As usual, this was done in 3dsMax 2010 and Vray 1.5 SP4a I had to cut a looooot of corners in order to keep render times below 10 minutes per frame in HD on a single machine. Having done this, I ...
