One week into the ALE, I got this commission: A rendering for Stonz Jewellers concept store.
It was conceptualized and detailed by another group of designers but the owners wanted to get the look of it in 3D so DeeDee Studio was tapped to do the visualization. We were given plans and interior elevations plus some pegs to base our 3D model on. Credits to Reign for helping me out with the SketchUp model.
Kids, take your board exam review sessions seriously. You only have to do it once (Hopefully just once. If not, no pressure!) so make it worth it and worth your while.
My mentality before was to drop everything one to two months prior to the exam. Like most, I took a leave from my full-time work to prioritize the studying. However, times get tough (’cause reviewing is so damn expensive!!) and some commitments kept coming so sometimes it is not about priorities but time management. I was lucky enough to work on a couple of rendering gigs during the time.
Most rendering projects are the same – I get the Sketchup model together with some pegs and instructions, I produce the visualization and submit before deadline, the work gets to be shown to the client (sometimes at the other side of the world), I receive the comments and revisions, I edit and submit again.
Hey, it isn’t as boring as it sounds. In fact, last week I got an exciting rendering project!!
I can’t reiterate enough the importance of Photoshop in our daily lives 3D architecture visualizations. Here are a few samples of what I call Vray + Photoshop Magic.
How awesome could a contemporary art complex get?
Dr. Joven Cuanang, neurologist and art patron, held nothing back when he converted his private villa into one of the most inspiring art galleries I’ve visited so far. It is known now as the Pinto Art Museum. It’s not only an art bank but also a showcase for modern Mediterranean Architecture and expansive and beautifully landscaped gardens. It became a haven for different sorts of artists and photographers. Not surprisingly, it is now a famous location to do photo shoots for weddings, birthdays and whatnot.
