aaron-cds Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 This is a great resource Jeff. I tried something similar over at Vizdepot but I couldn't get enough participation. Inspiration is very valuable in our industry. I can't wait to see the final list. I hope it's very long because there are countless artists / companies that could hold the #1 spot. Here are some that I haven't seen listed yet. http://www.chen3d.com/ http://www.kitchensinkstudios.com/ http://www.opdigital.net/ http://www.raylab.se/ http://www.rendertaxi.de/en/index_en.php http://arch.hwd3d.com/ http://www.dnastair.co.uk/ (Geoff Packer) http://home.comcast.net/~lakehao/index.htm (Hao La) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorisAR Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Here's a Belgian freelance CG artist. He has some nice renders, and it would be cool if Belgium is in the list http://www.pixelab.be/ Here another Belgian firm I want to show all of you...the don't have the best renders, but I love their introduction video on how they work, what ArchVIZ is from beginning till final result. http://www.zooo.be/hww.htm Greetz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 This firm is both Canadian and Chinese and they won a very prestigious award from ASAI a few years ago: http://www.dayluxe.com/index.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landrvr1 Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 http://www.ericschuldenfrei.com/ Eric Schuldenfrei represents one of those individuals who takes visualization way, way, WAY beyond just trying to get a rendering to look as real as possible. He pushes the limits in every respect; every project challenges the preconceived notions of what it means to be a visualization specialist. A former Director at dBox, no one has influenced my work more. Eric is the individual that constantly reminds me that what we do can be more than just a craft - it can be an art.

Bwana Kahawa Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Olivier Campagne is always one of my favourites http://www.oliviercampagne.com/ Amazing atmosphere and mood in his images. Although I can never see half the stuff on his website on my mac... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Burden III Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Olivier Campagne is always one of my favourites Based on his work in the AVC, I would call Olivier one of the best in the world. I don't see anything recent on his site, though. I wonder what he's up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronll Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 No doubt some of the work from China is good. However, in a business such as ours that relies heavily on intellectual property rights, how are the Chinese doing in that regard? This is an honest question, I really don't personally know. But it seems that China has a reputation for ignoring the concept of intellectual property. Are they doing better now or in this particular profession?

Ernest Burden III Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 it seems that China has a reputation for ignoring the concept of intellectual property. Are they doing better now or in this particular profession? That is a completely unfair generalization. I would have to agree that China has 'a reputation', but its a big country. I don't think we can paint everybody in it with the same brush. I know you asked rather than stating it as a fact, but the assumption that we might want to discount our Chinese colleagues from being a top arch-vis firm because of concerns over respecting artistic morals or business licenses is wrong, I feel.

wodewil Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Hi! Nice Idea I've got one link. But I still dont know if there are photos or renders? And I'm afraid to ask!!! here it is: http://www.hoppearchitektura.pl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron-cds Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 That was a great link! I had a very hard time trying to decide if they're photos or renderings. Most look like photos, but my conclusion is they're renderings. This one has the tell-tale noise from low subdivisions in glossy reflections - http://www.hoppearchitektura.pl/architektura_wnetrz/projekt_03/projekty5.html Their style is fantastic.

Enlighten Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 You are right, there are some beautiful images on http://www.hoppearchitektura.pl. One thing I have noticed is that it is rare you get a company who is strong in all areas. You see companies with amazing interiors but second rate exteriors, or the other way around. Then there is the companies who have great interiors and exteriors but there animations don't hold up. Companies like Uniform that manage to be strong in all areas impress me the most. Just a personal opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
