3D Visual Hall of Fame
When you’re a ‘creative’ type and have started to amass a (sort of) collection of works, it’s nice to take a little bit of time out from your hectic schedule to revisit previous projects and reflect, ponder and bathe in the fuzzy warmth of nostalgia.
The Seedy World of the 3D Visualiser
To honour my obsession with Ryan Gosling I’ve undertaken some essential and very thorough research (stalking). I even put my Photoshop skills to good use by creating a fantasy world where Ryan took me to red carpet events…
3D Visualisation Service – The Process Explained
I thought it would be interesting to write a post explaining the process of how I create 3D visuals for my clients; from the moment I’m commissioned to undertake a new project, to the creation of the final presentation.
Glass Appreciation Society – New Members Welcome
My most recent 3D Visualisation commission, whilst slightly labour intensive highlighted a very important lesson when trying to aim for that all elusive photo-real effect…
My Grand Journey Part II
It gives me great pleasure to show all of my lovely followers and readers the finished 3D Visuals, that were used in Grand Designs Live 2014.
SketchUp Models Vol I
This is a first for me, I don’t usually upload my SketchUp models to the 3D Warehouse because I’m ferociously protective of them. Yes, I do realise how ridiculous that sounds but hey, I am what I am!
The Boyzone Effect
I’m still on a high from learning how to create candlelight using Maxwell Render. This can only mean one thing: I’m now increasing the risk of fire hazards left, right and centre in my 3D visuals. There’s only one way to deal with my new found obsession and that’s to overindulge to get it out of system once and for all.
Fire!! I Have Created Fire!!
When I first started using Maxwell Render (the photo-realistic rendering suite) I was thrilled to create a space that sort-of resembled a room that you might consider ‘real’, or as close to ‘real’ as virtually possible. Nowadays, my progress has developed to such an extent that I kinda know my 3D visuals could be considered […]
Another Day, Another Commendation
The results have been announced for the photography competition I entered a while back. There were 96 entries in total. One winner. And 8 shortlisted entries. My entry made the shortlist of commended photographs.
Collaborative Working – A Dream Come True
I can’t take credit for these designs, they were created by an interior designer that I’ve been fortunate to work with recently. However, I can take full credit for the creation of the 3D visuals. I’m particularly proud of these!
If You Haven’t Heard of Multi Stem, It’s Time That You Did.
I don’t like fussy pattern. And I’m not a huge fan of floral. But I love Orla Kiely’s Multi Stem. And I’m not entirely sure why. Actually, I do know why. It’s refreshing. It’s uplifting. And it’s fun.
Fotoshop Fail – The Legacy Continues
Fotoshop Fail is about applying an extremely basic image editing tool and using organic and rustic techniques to transform a photograph without actually enhancing it. Get my drift?
The Perils Of Being A Perfectionist
In my last post I uploaded renders of various rooms for a design concept, but I wasn’t happy with some of them. A couple of those renders were a little noisy and I know exactly why. I needed to shine more light on them…
Finally! The Big Reveal
Without further ado, it gives me great pleasure to finally post snippets of my research work, the technical aspects of my work and the renders that I created in support of the various design concepts for this space.
The CAD Chronicles
My new found skills and knowledge of various CAD software applications and in particular photo-realistic rendering, has really surprised me. I get my biggest sense of achievement from teaching myself all of this stuff.
Lifts Want To Be Inspirational Spaces Too!
In total there will be 2 design features within this space that will give a gentle nod to the heritage of the Lace Market; the lace Roman Blinds and the interior of the lift. Yes, you heard correctly; the interior of the lift. I like the unexpected.
The Power of Accessorising
Following on from my last post about combining industrial styling with typical Georgian detailing, I have developed the Staff Breakout area further. I’ve added lighting in the form of LED downlighting but also traditional (turned) wooden lampstands.
Industrial Styling with a Georgian Twist
My design scheme for the Georgian Townhouse wasn’t going to incorporate a lot of typical Georgian design, but I changed my mind and decided to use a fabulous and innovative contemporary Damask wallcovering. Well, I’ve decided to explore the inclusion of Georgian elements further…
