This is a render I did for the sole purpose of supposedly being in a magazine cover. I’m not sure if that idea is still pushing through, but here it is anyway. Utwentysix Design Studio got the chance to design the Philippine Pavilion for the upcoming exposition in South Korea. The overall theme of the expo has everything to do with marine life and their preservation, as well as island livelihood or something. It’s currently under construction as of April 25, 2012. The soft opening of the expo is somewhere around the first or second week of May 2012. The general area is Yeosu, Jeollanam-do, South Korea.
This image was part of the render package I did for an architecture firm for them to present to a developer client. This project is a high-rise hotel condominium hybrid. Hollywood cameos! :)
Remember Ondoy?  This render came out as an accident. I was trying out some settings in the VrayEnvironmentFog, and one of the test renders came out Silent Hill-ish creepy with the fog an’ all that it looked like a thunderstorm. So I fired up good ole’ Photoshop and did some rain work!

This is a high resolution render of a 2x2 meter plane with a shitload of grass items. Judging by the extent of the seemingly millions of polygons in the scene, you could guess the amount of modelling and scattering involved. However, this scene probably took a total of 5 minutes to model, setup, and render. Yes, 5 freaking minutes. I used a 3dsmax plugin called Forest Pack by iTooSoft which basically takes a selected geometry and scatters them in another selected geometry. Wicked.  There’s a free trial period as well as free models, try it out!
The Spoon by U26 Design Studio From the concept sketches, I had to think for a bit on how to model this lounge chair.  The main mass tapers from the bottom to the top and from the front to the back; the interior is a reverse bevel with filleted corners; the upper (white) texture curves because it’s a tensioned textile. After a while I realized I could model it using section splines. I made the splines in Autocad, imported them to Max, used the Cross Section modifier plus the Surface modifier, and boom. The tapering I did with free form deform mod. The seams are just renderable splines with a noise modifier.  Quite easy once you begin to figure it out.
