Gallery / Cliff Valey

« on: 2023-03-06, 11:23:12 »

The warm winds of Cliff Valley have always been said to have a healing effect on the soul of the digital nomad. Most possibly because of the unique combination of local conditions. Proximity to the sleeping volcano, as well as humid climate of the warm ocean’s breeze, mixed with vapours from geothermal cavities and topped with its unique position within the geomagnetic field of the planet, creates a holy grail of cellular regeneration. No surprise that this highly sought-after location was the birthplace of a spiritual enclave focused on human well-being.

Same enclave also commissioned this project with the following brief: “Structures must be reminiscent of crystalline harbours nestled within the rugged surface of the cliffs. Access is rewarded after passing through the purgatory of gusts of heavy geothermal vapours, being violently stirred by coastal winds. Once visitors reach their destination, they will become one with the mountain and heal (if they make it up).”

The dream of every crypto investor is financial freedom! Some would buy lambo, some would build a house, including an island! This project is a crypto.com fan art that was inspired by one of their early adverts published on Brave browser. The idea was appealing but the visual execution needed to be taken to another level.

full project can be seen here: https://www.behance.net/gallery/121917547/CDC-Paradise

Thanks for viewing!

Hello guys!

Today I would like to share with you a visualization of a private house near Dolany (Czech Republic) that was done for my dear friend, architect Petr Pospisil. Proportions of the design are respecting the spirit of the site as well as it is reflecting pro-green lifestyle of the client.

Gallery / Shipwreck Reclamation

« on: 2020-09-29, 17:16:36 »

Hello again,

I have just finished another fun project I would like to share with you - calling it Shipwreck Reclamation, that was inspired by a photo of decaying shipwreck invaded by vegetation. I have designed some monkey-track style living on top of it to invade it even more. Enter at your own risk and beware the sharks!

Gallery / Isle of the Dead Cyberpunk Version

« on: 2020-03-03, 11:54:29 »

Hello guys - I would like to share my latest personal work - it is a tribute to 3rd version of Arnold Böcklin's Isle of the Dead - I called it Cyberpunk Version. I had this idea in my drawer for years so it is just a coincidence that Bertrand Benoit posted it few weeks ago - I have noticed that there have been many other artists recreating this paitning, among the more famous ones it was H.R. Giger and Salvador Dalí. It is a very fast project, using mainly ready made assets from Quixel Megascans and models that I downloaded (I prefer to collage my work as I'm not a big fan of modeling since my attention span is really short;)



Full resolution and some more crops on my Behance:

Gallery / Grid City

« on: 2020-01-12, 18:10:44 »

This is a super quick project I did for the Kitbash3d contest to test how far I can take Corona Scatter. All assets (except for terrain) are scattered. Half a trillion polys across 150mil instances. Took 100GB at 5k resolution and about 15 hours to render on i76900k.

Thank you for visiting my Behance for more quick-bashed fun projects!

[Max] Resolved Bugs / 3ds max - max freezes when file is merged while IR is running

« on: 2019-11-18, 12:33:20 »

Hi, using max 2020 and Corona 5 - we had this issue on Corona pre v5 and for some reason I though I saw somewhere mentioned it will be fixed in v5 - now to be precise it is even worse then pre v5 - max doesn't crash giving you the option to save the current scene as it was pre v5 - now it completely freezes not letting you do anything except for crashing it manually via task manager. Anyone else could please confirm it is global issue or just us?

Thank you!

[Max] General Discussion / Water caustics question

« on: 2019-06-25, 13:52:58 »

First of all thanks for the new caustics solver to Ondra and the team! In most cases (metal, glass etc) it works awesome! Now since we were really keen on trying proper water pool caustics that would work both under water as refractive caustics and on the ceiling as reflective caustics I had to jump into it but there something I can't get my head around. The refractive works well - as seen on the picture, but at the same time it produces these hotspots on the ceiling. As soon as the caustics checkbox is disabled in the material it goes away. What are these dots and is there a way to get rid off them?

Second part of the question - is anyone able - or is it even possible to produce the reflective caustics with the same water material? We are able to get something reasonably nice reflecting on the ceiling if the water gets really reflective (metal level of fresnel) which makes the water surface look unnatural - or with another "fake" water plane with rayswitch material that has basically mirror material plugged into the GI slot.

Thank you in advance!

[Max] Resolved Bugs / 1.2 Corona Sun crashes Max

« on: 2015-10-06, 15:21:44 »

Hi, I'm having some trouble with the new target based sun - when I'm moving it with the gizmo and with interactive render ON it crashes my Max after few moves - sometimes I want to add a bit of extra highlights by combining and HDRI with a sun - and thats when I need to match the sun to the HDRI's sun position as close as possible. With the previous sun system it was much easier, at least when it came to setting the rotation, then the angle/height was not such a problem since it was numerically adjusted. I really appreaciate the new free target sun, but was it really neccessary to remove the previous angle/rotation system altogether? Couldnt there be a switch between these two?

Thanks

Matej
