what was the method on the throw! Great render. Shows off color scheme well!
Hey there! How are ya?! Thanks, I'm glad you like it. The texture for the throw was actually Maxwell Grass. I had to fiddle a lot with the settings to try and get the right look, but I think it paid off 
Fab colour scheme, right?!

OK, that is some crazy good modeling and texturing!
Thanks, Bryan! I can't take credit for the sofa or chair, though! But that throw was a mind bender!!
A little personal project to flex those 3D modelling/texturing muscles!! LOVE the colour palette in this design scheme. LOVE!

P.S. the quality of the background colour may be compromised because of the file having to be reduced...grrrrrr
Peeps,
Just a quick update to let you all know that my blog was shortlisted! I'm off to London for the Awards Ceremony in November and just wanted to thank everyone who voted from the SketchUcation community!
Thank you!!

Just voted and I actually have looked at and like your blog. I'm afraid I avoid social media like the plague but will try to get some other people to vote. Good luck
Thank you so much for your kind words - I'm thrilled that you like it. Keeping it up-to-date and entertaining is hard work! And thank you so much for the vote (and getting others on board). Muah!!
Peeps, I need you to take 2 seconds to vote for my blog, which has been nominated for the Amara Interior Blog Awards. I know, exciting! It would be even better if you SHARED the below link with your friends/family/colleagues and encouraged them to vote for me too. Do it!! Even if you think my blog is rubbish, I'm more than happy to accept all sympathy votes. Shameless!!
This is the link that will change my LIFE FOREVER (no pressure)... http://www.interiorblogawards.com/vote/anita-brown-design-studio/

Thanks for that explaination, no it wasn't long winded but just enough to give me the idea. I want to start using more techniques for presentation and for our web site and I think what you have done is worth a try when I've got a bit of time....or maybe I should make time.
You're welcome, I'm glad I've given you some food for thought. Although, THIS one is my all-time favourite

i don't know how fast maxwell is with the new versions, but from my maxwell past i learned that maxwell and animations are not really friends when you don't have access to a renderfarm
Hi, I didn't use Maxwell to create any of these animations! Yes, I used Maxwell to create the rendered scenes but I used Windows Movie Maker and Photoshop to create these.
@nickchun said:
These are both great. Whats your workflow for the second on and how do they go down with the clients?
Thanks! To be honest, these animations can take quite a while to produce! If I didn't enjoy the creative process so much I would never create them! These aren't provided as part of my 3D Visualisation services. They are merely marketing tools to help promote my work and to (hopefully) inspire potential clients to consider the use of 3D Visualisation when pitching to their clients.
The second one involved importing a rendered scene into Photoshop and making it look like a sketch. Then I had to erase all of it in sections so that it appeared to gradually appear in the intro of the animation. This alone was 128 frames! Then (again using Photoshop), I created a watercolour of the rendered scene and masked it with the final sketch. Masking allows you to place one image on top of the other and pull through the bottom image. Does that make sense?! So then using various Photoshop brushes, I 'pulled' the watercolour image through on top of the sketch in segments. This was 46 frames. I had to add a few frames to show the paint dripping.
Once the final watercolour transitioned into the photo-realistic image I wanted to split the screen so that the alternate design was exposed. I had to create the split screen (in frames) in Photoshop.
I did the same (split screen into 3) when the wall of storage appeared and then revealed the alternate design.
The scrolling of the entire images (this happened twice) is a function available in Windows Movie Maker.
Hope this wasn't too long-winded!

I agree with KrisM, the wood texture on the coffee table is unbelievable! But the grain of the wooden floor is beautiful too. Although, I think KrisM is being little too fussy with his comment of the joints!! If that was a laminate floor surely they would be that close??!!
These are fantastic renders.
Hi everyone!
Have you all recovered from my Fifty Shades 3D visuals? They are definitely one of a kind, right?
You probably all know by now that I like to do animations as a way of promoting my 3D visual work but I took a bit of time out recently to try and master the Parallax effect. Have any of you heard of this? It's basically where you take a 2D image, cut the foreground from the background, import into a video editing program and zoom & pan them separately. When the animation is played it has a 3D effect.
I have an old version of After Effects and tried the above on a 3D visual. It's a very subtle effect but I think it's pretty awesome.
Check it out:

And this is another animation but much more fun!

Your FIRST designs??!! I suddenly feel like a failure!! Fantastic work!!

Don't let it bother you...
There will always be people who will feel offended by this but the sales figures speak for themselves and the figures of Fifty Shades of Grey figures speak a very clear language...
It is typically the same people who have double standards, which is hypocritical...I fully understand... No worries...
I was just thinking, that it could have been a great opportunity for a render challenge, like we used to have in the past...She also looks very much forward to the movie(s)... And so do I...
Thanks for the positive vibes and words of support. I was a little concerned about offending people but it is just a bit of fun! I get so serious about my 3D Visualisation commissions that it was nice to just work on something for pure enjoyment without any pressure!
Ahhhh, a render challenge. I see! Let me look into it! SU crashed an awful lot when I was working on that model because of that damned bed! But what a nice bed it is 
The movie will either bomb or it will be a triumph! I hope it's the latter
Oli!!! Hahahaha!!!! You legend!! This would be more than perfect for this room! On a side note - the lighting is very, very effective. I like how it's all focused in the middle and very gradually disperses!! Very good!!
