Lautaret's root

client : Le Naturographe Category : Graphics

As part of an exhibition hall layout. The Naturographe asked me to model in 3d, under his Artistic direction, a stylized root. This element will be placed in the center of the exhibition hall of the Galerie de l'Alpe in the Alpine Garden, at the Lautaret in Villar d'Arène (France/05). It will also serve as a seat for the visitors. The structure is just over 6 meters high and is made of wood and metal.
Images are rendered with Maverick Studio.
This root and all its surrounding elements have been virtually anticipated with a virtual reality application for Oculus Go.

The Thing 3d

https://3dtotal.com/galleries/yqnek/the-thing Category : Graphics

A few years ago, I produced a rough about the famous Marvel character, member of the Fantastic four : The Thing.
Time passed by, and although the modeling started, it was stuck due to lack of time. The current quarantine period because of Coronavirus is the perfect time for me to dive in the theme again.
The character has been modeled with Zbrush, and renderer with Maverick Studio with a lot of displacement maps. A great thank you to Erwann from RandomControl who helped me a lot with his advices about Maverick.

Honey pearls

client : Vivapi https://vivapi.com/ Category : Graphics

For a series of honey candies (of excellent quality), Vivapi asked me to produce promotional images for its website mainly. Since it was necessary to produce strictly identical images from one perfume to another, CGI has proved to be the ideal tool for this task. The render has been produced with Maxwell Render. A studio HDR lighting has been recreated in order to emphasis the volumes.

The images were rendered with Maxwell for the most realistic result possible (28 in total). The texture of the candies has been reproduced most faithfully to the originals. The candies shapes were modeled by photogrammetry and retouched under ZBrush. The pot was modeled using CAD tools from plan to obtain the exact virtual replica.

I invite you to taste these sweets, they are all more delicious than others!

Cup of tea

Category : Graphics

A little rendering training of a cup of tea. the spoon has been modeled with Zbrush, the rest with 3d Studio max. The rendering has been done with Arion. Although the logic of materials is very close to that of Maxwell render, the texture of sugars was difficult to obtain (by SSS mainly). I wanted to also test the quality of the displacement from Arion (engravings on the spoon). I have to say that the result is quite interesting, but relatively slow computing. Gain memory is however significant compared to the full poly model (which is primary for GPU rendering).

Fracture (massFx test)

Category : None

It's been a long time since I wanted to test the famous 3d studio max massFx module. This module dates back a little, but I wanted to compare it with its predecessor, the Havoc physics engine. It is definitely easier to use, and better integrated to the UI of 3ds. For the accuracy and the computation time, it has nothing to envy to the old module.More smoke (fumeFx) and particles would have made it more realistic, but I sorely lacking time.
