Convention

I had fun doing this one coz i play alot with the reflectivity of the ceiling on the right. Give it a little more illustration look than a photographic or photorealistic one.

A Generic Lobby

Tue, 27 May 2008 02:10:41 +0000

Nothing special here.

I achieved this by compositing render elements together in Photoshop - GI, Lighting, diffuse, reflections, overlayed with wireframes and a little specular for the glass to save time from rendering light rays passing the huge glass facade. Im getting comfortable with rendering actively in compositing programs rather rendering passively by setting all render settings and wait for my render to finish. Doing it actively gives me more ctrl and flexibility over my rendering.

Thanks for viewing!

Tomb Moseleum

A quickie model import from Sketchup, overlayed with diffuse layer and lighitng channel and put some cluody sky photograph at the background....

Generic Lounge

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:20:29 +0000

Another Max render passes being composited into Photoshop. I could change mood and make quick changes to things with layers in photoshop.

Generic Office

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 09:35:38 +0000

Ok...another generic stuff from me... nothing special. This panoramic also was converted to quicktime 360

Dawn of Dreams

Tue, 11 Apr 2006 13:08:27 +0000

Inspired by the game, it reminds me of a perspective that ive done. So I kinna like give a title to it.

I guess thats all...

Submission

Sun, 20 Nov 2005 13:19:23 +0000

The title of this piece actually means submission of one self, religiously.
The set is based on a location near the Holy Mosque, Mecca (the sillouhette on the right). Yet it uses 21st century middle eastern architectural elements and ornaments, using that to portray 7th century idea. (Islam begun at around 7th century)
Its a real life fact, given the current global situation, but I try to put it into a fantasy perspective - A millenia-old religion in dilemma.
Hope is almost the theme. Or salvation?
Modelled in Max and rendered with Vray. Lighting FX in AE and post production was done in Photoshop.
Thanks to Corbis.com for the royalty-free images, namely the praying people and the image of the holy mosque.
HDRI was taken from a free site...i will post a link soon.

Updated : The reflection and some color adjustments

Quickie Conceptual

Mon, 19 May 2008 08:40:40 +0000

Just a glass building and some quick landscape conceptual. Photos extracts and some mood skies, nothing really special.

Showroom

Fri, 08 Dec 2006 01:43:35 +0000

Modelled and rendered in Max. Cars from CG Cars CD, and the girl is royalty-free Corbis.

Unsharp mask and Poster Edged in PS to enhance and give it an illustration look.

Thanks

Exhibition Hall

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 04:50:37 +0000

This is a matte with the original exhibition hall photograph. Done entirely in PS but some elements are recycled from the test renders of the previous jobs.

My pieces are always 'empty' and have low eye movement factor. So with this one, im trying to practice it as much as i can.

I'll upload the original photo soon with credits to the photographer.

Thank you!

Albanian Parliament - Interior

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:09:13 +0000

Its a symmetrical composition but ive only realised it when its already too late - only when ive finished!

Strange i know but it happened.

I had fun looking up royalty free images of ppl to suit my perspectives....

The lighting comes solely from the heliostat and ive adjusted the camera shutter speed for optimal exposure...but to speed things up i didnt turn on the heliiostat during the light prepass to avoid unnecessary long calculation.

The light streaks is merely photoshop...the glow behind the emblem is the same...same goes to the windows and doors.

THanks!!

Montage

Mon, 13 Aug 2007 08:21:04 +0000

A simple photo montage of a proposed building.

Albanian Parliament

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 11:24:06 +0000

A collective effort really this one. Great design from the team of archiects headed by Hijjas Kasturi and Azzaidy Abdullah. Closely assisting them is Kris Budianto crunching in figures and cracking their heads in getting the design feasible.
It can only start to justify their effort by doing a render enough to pay homage to their effort.
Basic modelling done in Sketch up, smoothed and textured in Max (although ive failed to make it really show) and the rest fo texture painting and trees and people from the extual site photos.
Thanks!

Starlight

Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:11:14 +0000

The title is inspired by Muse's song Starlight. I wanted to create a punctuation in a barren, dark landscape, quickly.

So I've rendered it with basic GI with reflection and add the lights spots and glow in photoshop.

Environments are inspired by Stoski's Jedi Temple Matte Painting but its no where close...

Better yet is still to come i hope!

Thanks!

Salad Bar - Exterior

Mon, 28 May 2007 13:42:34 +0000

A simple GI with VRay and tooned it up. I like to experiment more with color and textures, pattern effect and illustrative look.

Salad Bar - Interior

Mon, 28 May 2007 13:52:45 +0000

Same stuff like the exterior...just tired of photorealistic VRay toilets and kitchens....trying something illustrative.

Eon Challenge - The Assault on Thistledown (Updated For Expose 5)

Thu, 15 Feb 2007 15:08:04 +0000

My second completed CGChallenge...learned and practice lots of stuff...mainly composition and color play....depth etc.

Here is the link to the WIP...from scratch to scratch...LOL

http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=213&t=417563&page=1

Edit : This is the updated version....The previous version is a bit too light. on this one, i lit the center structure a bit more, fix the paratroopers and do some color adjustments... Im running out of time and idea of what to do. It'll be worse if i do more so i just leave it alone fer now...

The Journey Begins

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:06:42 +0000

This piece is about putting tetrapods,(which is a start of the human evolution according to Darwin)

and the pinnacle of it (which is sadly depicted with a mushroom cloud from a nuclear explosion.),

in a single picture.

The journey is everything that had happened between the time of the tetrapods and the time of nuclear warfare discovery by human being (which was the tetrapods)

I think i can categorise this under the metaphoric entry for this CGChallenge.

I would like to thank everybody who has dropped by and give comments on this piece and of course to the organisers who had put up a good platform for artists to express themselves.

This is my first finished digital painting with Adobe Photoshop 7.0 after one year since being introduced to a wonderful thing called Wacom. I couldve done more but sadly time didnt permits.

Thank you

The Beauty Of Absence

Mon, 09 Jan 2006 16:54:21 +0000

Divine beauty to glorify a long gone era.
Held up to the heavens as offerings.
By what your senses perceive, by how your brothers died, I think it was not accepted.
A pair of hand held up high to the heavens.
Asking why?
The reason for all the silence, the absence.
Then the answer whispered into the empty heart.
"You are in a habit of glorifying voids."
This is a sequel of my previous entry, "Submission" which has adressed the issues and dillemmas that surround the muslim world today.
The theme speaks about the habit of building voids , indirectly symbolises the absence of true faith and belief.

Gilded Aisle

Thu, 31 Aug 2006 14:39:24 +0000

This is an entrance lobby to a proposed hotel. The design has to be Neo-Islamic, something that cant be immediately recognized as Islamic. It is to be gilded on most areas.

Technically, this render is all about the depth of reflect-refract. The higher the value, the more realistic the reflect-refract will be, although i wouldnt have the correct shader for gold here.

Moodwise, i think it couldve been better. Now it looks more like a dark entrance to a dark castle....

O well....thats why i submitted this...to get some comments from you guys...im new so dont be too harsh...

Comments and criticism is welcomed!

The Cube

Tue, 14 Nov 2006 08:32:33 +0000

Inspired by Minas Tirith renderings. The lighitng and is typical sun, with minimal illumination, this mainly to see how good I am with texturing random tiles, Nothing serious.

The light sabers are experimentation on how color saturation can play a role in showing effects.

Thank you!

The Gate

Sun, 12 Nov 2006 08:01:10 +0000

Around about the same purpose as The Cube, This one is also to see how a dark enclosure can be used to frame a composition.

Thanks for the plug! I cant believe it.

This piece is done for an Architectural Competition for a development in the city of Makkah by the company im working with now, Hijjas Kasturi Associates.

http://hijjaskasturi.com

Credits to all the team production team members, Architects Mr. Hijjas Kasturi, Azzaidy Abdullah,

3D Modeller, Mr Kris Budiarto.

I did the texturing and, composition and final lighting.

An credit to those guys at Textureshaker for the excellent free plugin. It makes plain flat wall like this one appears less boring.

Thanks!
