amazing...love it !!!!

Thanks again for the very nice feedback so far. We really appreciate it. Thanks also again to the whole team which worked on it (benjamin brosdau, marcus dallmann, benny herudek and especially klemens neumann) To answer the question of our honoured colleague from London. No, this is an internal project. As every other company in that business we have the situation that "real life project" have often a different momentum and often less possibilities. Although we try with every piece of work to push the maximum to the limit. This is the passion we have and the reason we want to work in that field. All other images on the website (except of 2) and the rest of the animation are clients work. With "the renaissance" we wanted to summarize all we believe in and wand to stand for in our profesion: the sensuality of architecture. Personally I am a trained Architect, but with absolute no talent for construction. But with an eye for moods. Therefore I started this office. This animation is somehow also a little bit of a manifesto of what I want in our business, still knowing that reality is often different....but not less interesting.

no, this animation was done with 3DS Max and Vray. Also the DOF was rendered and not done in post (therefore we also have DOF in the reflections). We use Vray in 94% of our work, no matter if stills or animation. 3% is MR (mostly exterior then) and just 3% is Maxwell.

yes, i agree. to play with the vray sun system is nice for a few minutes. and for fast shots maybe also an option. but as christopher said, especially for exterior you need more then just the sky and sun. hdri is still our favourit to start an exterior scene.

i love it !!! ...and a few things are even very true. at least, it was like that in the last arch. office i worked for :-) but in every good satire is true core

you can..just increase under "general option" the "secondary rays bias" to ~0.001 and this problem is solved

very nice. how did you do the grass in maya ?

oh, i found this thread to late.... and i´m sorry to hear what happened in th MW forum. but unfortunately i´m not suprised. it´s one of the worst i´ve ever seen. i stopped to post there quite a while ago. so i can understand Fran very well. The behavior and policy of NL and many users there is nothing i want to support. I also was blinded by the hype in the beginning...but more and more it turns out that it´s just a bubble.

like them .... coffee ?

i know that other people have a different opinion.....but for me it´s a clear and loud: NO. for me maxwell is still a nice toy with maybe great potential in the future. but it´s nothing for real productions when time and workflow are two important points.

hehe, when you are not a native english speaker like me "pro bono" is really a funny word. but didn´t actually wolfowitz get the job now ;-) :-)

VERY VERY good

there is NOTHING in the maxwell forum you CAN´T do with vray or fR etc, too. I also have maxwell but i don´t really can´t understand the hysteria around it. for me it´s a nice toy at the moment to play a bit in spare time....and a big big hype. and their "unbiased" method will soon be changed into an "optimized" one. otherwise the noise will never go. if you have just a little knowledge of vray, fr etc it takes abolutly the same time to make a lightsetup etc etc like in maxwell.......but with 1/100 of the rendertime. next limit didn´t invent a new technologie. vlado proofed it while bringing the ppt method into vray....in one weekend :-) i think it was more a advertisement gag with a big "hello" to next limit ;-) actually the lightcache technique in vray is some kind of an optimized ppt method.

hmm......it´s hard to tell you what to do. but i´m not sure if it´s the right way to choose a profession by "future career chances". nobody knows if in 5 years the situation is completly different. i´m convinced that it´s absolutly necesarry to love what you do as occupation. when you love it, you are able to be very good. when you are good, success is easier to achieve :-) ............and maybe then you can afford a family ;-) sorry to say that, too and it maybe it sounds a bit "old-intelligently"....but aren´t you too young to be so calculating ?
