Here’s just a quick update of some Photography. These two shots were taken during my stay in Japan. The woman in the photograph is my best friend Jules. We were visiting her family and visiting Tokyo, Nara, Kyoto, Chiba and Atami. I’ll be uploading some more photos I took in Japan very soon!
Also that post for the review of The CG School is coming very soon. I should be finishing that this week as well. I know it’s been some time since I said I would have it, but my work schedule has been through the roof! Which is a great thing! Sadly though, a lot of the projects I’ve been working on I cannot post yet due to NDR. But I have some stuff in the works that will be going up shortly. Hang in there!
Just wanted to do another Photography update. This these photo’s are from my trip to Miami, for the CGSchool Advance V-Ray training (more on that to come), and my current stay here in Vegas. I’m currently working out of the Gensler of Nevada office for the next month or so, so I hope to get some really nice shots. Which I have a few already! So check out the flickr page, and as always, here are some previews!
Oh and expect a review of the CGSchool and it’s Advanced V-ray Training class. I just got the links to the videos from the session. I wanted to wait and get those to check the quality before I wrote up the review. This way, I can give a full and accurate review of the whole thing. But lets just say right now, it’s complete worth it! I think I’ve said too much!…

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:

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!
