Completed catalogue render

Completed image

A personal project to see how closely I could mimic a photo from a catalogue. This project allowed me to practice various techniques including polymodelling (all objects modeled from scratch), cloth simulation (towel), MassFX dynamic object simulation (cotton wool balls in jar), micropoly displacement (towelling textures). Rendered in Vray 2.0.

Latticework for archviz

I stumbled across the excellent tutorial for producing parametric lattices in 3DS Max:

Ideal for quickly modelling buildings with panelled surfaces for example.
