Recent Renderings/Work

[Gus R]

Some recent 3D and renderings for a house in Mandeville Canyon, California and Pacific Palisades, California. The first renderings is a redesign by me including interior design for the garage addition. The last five is the house in Pacific Palisades with interior design and renderings by me. That house was designed by Michael Lee Architects.

Very sharply done, Sir.

Thanks Mike!

I'm experimenting with an Ektachrome LUT. Got the idea from watching some "what's wrong with movies today" video on Youtube. More noise, more contrast.

With Affinity being free now, the ability to improve renders easily with LUT etc is easier than ever. Being a little different from the paid version it will take a bit more thought but it's free so worth it.

Do you have a link for it? Sounds like something quite interesting to watch..

[Gus R]

Thanks Mike. I'll have to check that out.

Panixia, the specific video that references the LUT I downloaded is below. There's a lot of videos that are more or less about "what's wrong with movies today." My favorites of late are "Papillon" and "In the Heat of the Night." There are many.

Maybe we can start a trend along with Hollywood? It hit me watching these videos about "today's videos" how this can apply to modern day architectural renderings and trends. You can learn from so much including watching Japanese carpentry videos that can apply to our craft.

Noise and grain...

[panixia]

This is nice, but definitely has nothing to do with LUTs. LUTs are about color, not grain.

@panixia There's a link to grain assets but it's in a readme and it's a drx file for DaVinci Resolve. I'd look into it more this morning but at the moment I regret not having invested in a retirement plan allowing me the ability to not do anything for the rest of my life.
