Hey everyone,

I'm excited to share a teaser that I did for my current personal project.

American Icons, a concept that is meant to celebrate racing through simple light and form.
This series was inspired by the photography of Sarel Van Staden, the was the main goal was to showcase the main body lines with simple soft lights making the car to look like a sculpture.

Hello everyone,

I would like to share with you one of my latest personal projects.

Moon Gate 001

A series of circular structures that serves as a passage between two Worlds. Located in the Northern fjords, these structures provides a flight deck which generates energy with each take-off and landing.









It was meant to understand how to tackle large scale environments.
Terrain was generated with World Creator and Corona Scatter for the forest. You can find the full project on my Behance.

Gallery / Desert Run - Ferrari 330P

Hello everyone!

I felt like the my latest project, needed a well deserved environment, so I took it for a run to the desert.
This time in different clothes, a stainless steel body, new wheels and more power si I welded two turbos. Some stadium-like buildings to match the lines of the car and some dunes felt like the right fit this time.
The new sun and sky from Corona 6 and a volume grid from jangafx.com played a major role in setting up the mood.

Full project is on Behance.

Gallery / Ferrari 330P Studio Lighting CGI
« on: 2020-05-15, 09:59:39 »
Hello everyone!
This is a project that started as an automotive studio lighting study turned into remodeling the car to a contemporary approach. The goal was to play with the light to emphasize the shape of the car in different lighting setups. Already shaped by beautiful lines, smoothing up some details, new wheels based on the original ones and a carbon fiber body made this particular Ferrari model look like a Batmobile.

Have a great weekend!

Gallery / Carpet Visualization
« on: 2020-03-03, 10:46:17 »
Hello everybody!

Last year we had the pleasure to help visualize the latest collection of rugs from M. Naziri - traditional Iranian kilims and rugs.
We had a lot of fun working on this project, as carpets are so versatile and can change the energy of a space completely. An important piece of design, decor and functionality, visualizing the beautiful Naziri kilims and rugs has provided us a considerate dose of challenge, enabling us to be fully creative and playful.

Now we can share the first set of studio images we've made for their catalogue.

[Archive] Chaos Corona for ARCHICAD / First impresions
« on: 2019-01-07, 14:03:01 »
Hello everybody,

I would like to share with you my first test with Corona for Archicad. Although it can't fit in my current workflow I decided to give it a try because I love both softwares.
I know that it is in the alpha stage at the moment so I won't comment on the lack of the basics.
The biggest challenge for me I think it was making the materials, and the fact that you don't have viewport feedback only in interactive mode. Also the poxys dind't work for me, I got only black geometry and couldn't assign any materials to them.

Overall I think it is really useful for bim user, really stable and well integrated.
Keep up the good work!

[Max] I need help! / Weak denoising on bump maps
« on: 2018-09-13, 15:21:23 »
Hi everybody,

I don't know if I'm missing something but there seems to be a denoise problem in corona 2.
Image on the left is rendered in Corona 2 and it has a lot more noise than the one on the right which is rendered in Corona 1.74 (same denoise settings, same machine, same time).

Thank you!
Stefan
