Just got back from a trip to Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and was able to get a lot of really good shots while I was there. I’ve gone and uploaded them to my flickr account. I hope you enjoy them!
Here are a few samples:

Just wanted to point out that I’ve just added a link to my Flickr account up at the top. You guys can check out my photography shots there!
Here’s a little sample!

It’s been a while since the last update, but work has been keeping my super busy. But I have found the time on the side to do a free lance project. My client was Carol Barden & Company along with Olson Kundig Architects. This is Wabi Sabi Two, and it is located here at 1916 Bank Street, Houston, Texas. It is currently under construction. The first image is the final render, and the second image is me just having a little bit of fun with colors in Photoshop. Enjoy!

So I wanted to wait to make sure everything was in place, and I’m glad I did. I’m please to announced that my Rizzozo’s and Valentino’s images were chosen to be included in 3DATS’s new compilation book known as ‘ispirato’. This book is an amazing collection of visualization work from around the world from only a handful of artists.
But just a few days ago, I was told I had to be cut from Volume One due to some issues with printing. But I was assured I would be in Volume Two! Which is still a great honor, so I wanted to thank 3DATS for giving me the opportunity to be included in this collection. The really have put their hearts and souls into making this book, and you can see it in the final product. And if you are interested in getting a copy of the first volume, you can find it here. But there are only 750 copies available to the public, so you better grab one while you can!

Here is an image that started just as a little side project of trying out different lighting techniques in V-Ray. I started by just playing around with lights and colors, and evolved to what you see here. The building is a base mesh taken from the Evermotion 17 library. I’ve altered it some, and then gave it a local.
My goal was to achieve an almost night shot, where the lights of the building would help carve the building’s shape out of the night sky. I then decided to put part of it on water to have those lights reflected back into the scene. I chose to design a restaurant because I figured that would be the best setting to play around with some nice lighting, other than a house. This was made in 3ds Max 2010 with Vray 1.5. There was a lot of work done in post with Photoshop. Such as controlling the colors, reflection intensities, the stars, and building the city in the background. I hope you enjoy!

Here are two sketches I did today. I was trying out some new work flows in Photoshop.

So I finally go to finish the portrait of my friend. Here it is in all it’s color glory!
Here’s a quick update to the Charette #15 Render contest I’m working on. About to run out for dinner and wanted to get this up before I head out. The only note I have now is that the wood in the FG is a place holder, and will be changed.

Here’s a work-in-progress of a digital paiting that I’m currently working on. So far I want to say I’m about 8 hours in. This preview is just a small gray-scale version. The color version will be coming soon (currently working on it). It’s all done in Photoshop. I’ve only used a Hard Round and a Soft Edge Brush. The portrait is of my friend Frances. It’s for her 24th birthday.

So I’ve decided to work on a challenge over at http://www.3dallusions.com/.
The challenge is to render this house from 2 points of view, without changing the architecture. Everything else is fair game. So this is my first preview of my first POV. Pretty much my lighting is set, minus the interior light. The interior light colors are not final yet. Right now I just have omni lights illuminating to add color and value to the image. I do this so I kind of have a road map of where I’m going color and value wise. Next up will be adding more entourage, and then onto textures. I imagine a few more trees for the background, and then some kind of living space for the interior. Not too sure what I’ll be doing with the pool area yet. That’s still TBD.
Anyways, here’s the image:
