"Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Black Magic 45mm through bold and minimalistic imagery, dark tones, neat lighting, and contrasty images. They also suggested introducing a clean industrial environment as the ideal setting for the watch. Red lasers and neon lights could be another touch to allow for more evocative and engaging storytelling. "We really wanted to lead the company into embracing a more editorial kind of aesthetics, where 3D photorealistic renders could blend seamlessly with flat colors and silhouettes - typical elements of an illustrative approach. "This was a bit different compared to the usual Hublot communication style, but somehow we managed to get the right balance between the different elements. "This was the first time for us using very complex 3D watch CAD models so it took a significant amount of time to organize and learn how to manage the endless number of pieces. "Even nowadays, flexibility and updatability are still touchy topics, an ongoing and ever-learning process. Moreover, the overall render time was very long, since the required output quality forced us to crank up the render settings quite a bit. The production schedule lasted approximately three months, spread between the concept adjustments, an initial R&D phase, a more advanced production period, and the very last finalization."

#snsinstution #snsdesignthinker #designthinking A IPS (In-Plane Switching) monitor is a type of LCD display renowned for its exceptional color accuracy, wide viewing angles, and vibrant image quality. IPS technology aligns liquid crystals horizontally to produce rich, consistent colors and minimal color shift, even when viewed from the side. With faster response times and higher color gamut coverage, IPS monitors are ideal for color-critical applications such as graphic design, photography, videography, and gaming. They offer excellent brightness, contrast, and color uniformity, making them a popular choice among professionals and enthusiasts seeking precise color representation. Key benefits include 178-degree viewing angles, 8-bit or 10-bit color depth, and reduced eye strain, ensuring an immersive visual experience.

I experimented with Krea Image Enhancer after seeing some impressive renders shared by fellow designers here on LinkedIn. Here's my comparison: 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐋𝐮𝐱 𝐄𝐯𝐨 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: Great lighting simulation, especially for wall lights and grazers. The lighting effects are realistic, though the 3D models show visible polygons. 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐊𝐫𝐞𝐚 : Krea makes the models look more polished and realistic. If you're looking to enhance your DIALux renders, Krea is a great tool. However, DIALux still outperforms in lighting quality. [https://lnkd.in/gcpBjkiK] Both tools have their strengths. For enhancing DIALux renders, Krea is useful, but for accurate lighting effects, DIALux Evo is my top choice. Would love to hear your thoughts! #3DModeling #LightingEffects #ImageEnhancement #Krea #ArchitecturalLighting

As promised in my last post, I'm excited to share some game-changing HRDI tips with you! Get ready to dive into strategies that will elevate your images to the next level. High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDRI) is a game-changer for realistic skies. These images capture a wide range of light intensities, making the sky look natural and vibrant. Here’s how we do it: - Choose the Right HDRI: Pick an HDRI that matches the mood and lighting of your scene. Whether it’s a bright sunny day or a dramatic sunset, the right HDRI sets the tone. - Adjust Lighting: Use the HDRI to light your entire scene. This ensures that the lighting on your models and environment matches the sky, creating a cohesive look. - Fine-tune Settings: Tweak the intensity and rotation of the HDRI to get the perfect look. Sometimes, a slight adjustment can make a huge difference. However, time marches on, and new techniques and technologies continue to evolve. With the latest versions of Chaos Corona, we now rarely use HDRI. At Descover Studio, we utilize the Corona Sun and Corona Sky lighting systems to highlight the best of the surrounding landscape and emphasize the area's natural beauty. This preference is due to Corona's flexibility, allowing artists to tailor the sky to their vision. By adopting this approach, we're able to craft more dynamic and lifelike lighting scenarios, enriching the overall visual impact and immersive quality of our projects. Moreover, embracing these advanced tools not only enhances our creative process but also streamlines our workflow, ultimately saving us valuable time. Whether you are using HDRI or Corona Sky + Sun, skies not only enhance realism but also add depth and atmosphere to your renderings. Give it a try and see the magic for yourself! What’s your go-to tip for achieving realistic skies in your renderings? Share your secrets below! #Descover #ArchitecturalVisualization #Design #ArchitectureStudio #CGI #archiviz

Lighting is the magic that brings 3D models to life, setting the mood and directing the viewer's attention. 🌞🌞🌞 Whether you're a beginner or seasoned pro, these 5 tips will help you level up your lighting skills! 🚀 1.Understand the Basics of Light Physics 🌞 : Knowing how light behaves in real life is essential. Study concepts like diffuse, specular, and ambient lighting. The better you understand light in the real world, the better you can replicate it in 3D! 2.Use Reference Images 🎯 : References are your best friend! 🌄 Real-life photos or movie stills can guide you in recreating the feel and mood you’re aiming for. Always look for how shadows fall, where light bounces, and how colors shift in different settings. 3.Master Three-Point Lighting 🎬 : This classic setup—key light, fill light, and rim light—is a foundation for shaping your subject. It allows you to highlight details, add depth, and make sure nothing important is lost in shadow. Get this right, and you’re halfway there! 4.Balance Realism and Artistic Style ⚖️: Realistic lighting is great, but don’t be afraid to push artistic boundaries. Play with colors, contrast, and mood to match the story or emotion you want your scene to convey. Sometimes, breaking the rules is where the magic happens! 5.Optimize for Render Time ⏱️ : High-quality lighting often comes with a price—longer render times! ⌛ Use techniques like light linking, shadow samples, and HDRI maps to get the desired result without slowing down your workflow. A balance between quality and speed is key. Follow for more tips and breakdowns : Nandha Kumar.R #Happy3Ding #3dartists #vfx #cgi #3dart #autodesk #lighting #houdini

Blending Tradition with Innovation in 3D Design! ⚫ Excited to share a project where Motion Marvel Studio brought the epic grandeur of Mahabharat to life through a stunning 3D clothing mockup.
