Here's another recent bedroom interiors, styled with burnt orange and soft green accents to harmonize with the contemporary cashmere cabinetry doors. Our client's specified a broken plan layout with an internal divider to establish a distinct dressing area featuring their fitted cabinetry. To maximise the space we used high ceilings with a spacious bank of wardrobes, complemented by a bespoke window seat and open corner shelving, designed for functionality as well as aesthetics. Our artists have been rigorous crafting the intricate details  in the props and textures of the antique brass handles.
We used 3DSMax to create the interior with soft furnishing and bedding models created and edited in Zbrush. Renders in Corona with image composition in Blackmagic Fusion. We added the plant leaves and completed colour accuracy of the clients cabinetry in Photoshop.

Working closely with one of our US cabinetry clients we crafted this contemporary kitchen interior, blending traditional charm with a clean, minimalist vibe. Our team of interior designers have become experts tailoring bespoke kitchens for both the US and UK markets ensuring that the kitchens we create resonate with the target market and encapsulate the brand's unique style. They elected to have a significant number of close-up cameo images created too, which we love as it allows us to pack in the details and highlight the unique, hidden features that would otherwise go unseen.

As usual, we used 3DSMax for the majority of the scene with some detailed models tweaked in Zbrush. Rendered in Corona with image composition in Blackmagic Fusion. Final colour accuracy and adding the external scene was completed in Photoshop.

Our team created this sleek sophisticated bedroom interior to showcase our client's crisp white handleless cabinetry. Our interior design team used the contemporary-scandi trend, adding chunky wood frames and panels alongside complimenting props to emphasise the organic connection that the Scandi design trend is notable for.

We crafted this chic contemporary shaker style home office for one of our cabinetry clients who were looking to reimagine their marketing imagery and highlight the versatility of their cabinetry for other areas of the home. Our interiors team brought the client's vision to life creating a practical office space with the perfect blend of style and functionality.

As usual we used 3DSMax to meticulously recreate the clients products and some of the specified unique props got a boost from Z-Brush, adding that extra touch of realism. We rendered with Chaos Corona and composed images with Blackmagic Fusion Studio ensuring not just color accuracy. Adobe Photoshop adds the finishing touches to make the images pop.

A quick post this week of a recent contemporary Shaker style kitchen, brought to life by our interior design team's creativity and a striking Bamboozle red and off-black palette. The clever use of colour blocks seamlessly flows into the boot room area in this space, showcasing the versatility of our client's cabinetry for use throughout the home.

As usual for our studio, 3DSMax + Corona with compositing and colour tweaks in Blackmagic Fusion and Photoshop.

Something odd here forum wise - the last image with the small thumbnail links to a large image which looks great. The images in the thread appear to link to somewhere but nothing opens if I click on them. If I do a right click, open image in new tab, then I see the image is actually smaller than the size being displayed in the post. One way or another, I don't think I am able to access the full quality images (except for that last one :) ).

Sorry Tom, I used a bit of code to limit the image size to 1000px (so they didn't appear too big for those without huge monitors). If you want to see the full res versions I've posted the links below;

Our client wanted images to showcase thier narrow-framed shaker doors, requesting a contemporary kitchen interior. Our seasoned interior design team have embraced a chic, minimal colour palette with natural stone elements crafting a kitchen that radiates luxury and style.

Behind the scenes, the 3D team used 3DSMax, Zbrush and Corona renderer for the majority of the scene and modeling, paying close attention to texture quality and intricate details. Final colour accuracy and composition and edits were completed with Photoshop and Black Magic Fusion.

These look great. Curious if you modeled everything or did the client provide 2D or 3D files?

My only tip is from a graphic design perspective. On the detail shot showing the cabinet handles, I would alter the angle ever so slightly. Just enough so the lines of the hands don't lineup with the lines of the doors. It's a small change, but it can add to the depth of the shot. In graphic design, those are called tangents. If two items are very close to each other, either space them apart more OR overlap them with purpose.

We try to make our scenes fully 3D where we can, obviously some parts get retouched and elements added where needed. Most assets for the scene are already in our library, we've been creating CGI for 20 years now so that asset library is pretty comprehensive. Anything we don't have, or that the interiors team include in their design as a new prop gets modelled by our 3D artists (or occasionally bought if theres a good quality model online).
As for the cabinetry and textures, we create all that in house to show off the product as accurately as possible.

The detail shot of the cabinetry / handle was intended to show the wood grain, unfortunately the image compression on our server didn't do this justice, but at higher resolution it works a bit better. I'll pass the comment on though to the 3D team.

Is it just me or is every single image either out of focus or blurred? I might need to clean my glasses
It's probably the compression used on our website / image hosting, we've been trying to make our site a bit snappier but maybe the developers went a bit over the top with the compression settings.

It has been a little while since our last post, but here's one of our recent favourite interiors crafted for one of our kitchen clients. They wanted to showcase their cabinetry in more spaces than just the kitchen area, which allowed us to get creative with the brief and build a whole area to spend quality time with the family whilst still maintaining the contemporary luxury aesthetic. 

Our vision for the interior was to create an open plan kitchen and living space connected with the outdoors, giving a greater impression of space. Our designers used expansive floor-to-ceiling windows to flood the space with natural light. Modern furniture with organic textures create a cohesive ambiance that blends home comforts with the tranquility of nature, inviting the natural beauty inside.

Very nice as always..
But wood texture repetition is visible on some areas . UVW randomizer can help.

Good spot, we're usually quite good at catching these but it's one I missed.

Hi Pikcells,

Nice renders, I like the soft lighting. Do you mind sharing how did you create the carpet? It looks very fluffy and super pleasant.

Best,
Lukasz

The carpet uses hair and fur, it's actually quite an old asset that we've reused so I couldn't track down which of our 3D artists created it originally to ask for more detail. I assume it uses similar steps to our photorealistic rug tutorial https://youtu.be/3zkZW36m3Zs

Our team has recently completed the development of a sophisticated CGI bedroom featuring a walk-in closet, for one of our distinguished clients. With a focus on attainable luxury, our talented interior designers have crafted a space that caters to the tastes of our client's higher-end audience. We have included additional secondary images and the 3D flatlay render that played a pivotal role in effectively conveying the initial design idea and colour palette. These supplementary images complement the main walk-in closet scene and show off the attention to detail the 3D artists have used throughout this project.

Here's another of our gorgeous CGI bedroom scenes featuring our client's stylish bedroom furniture range. Our interior design team wanted to create a strong but sophisticated look for this set, and they achieved this with key statement props, abstract shapes and a punchy palette of navy, peach, and burnt orange. Once again we've included the 3D flatlay render we created to communicate the vision to our client.
As usual our artists have tried their best to be meticulous with the details and lighting to create a photorealistic representation of our client's vision and showcase their new bedroom furniture range in the best possible light.
