In this tutorial we want to show you how to render a photo-realilstic interior scenery with Corona Renderer and 3ds MAX. Lightning is always crutial when it comes to architecture visualization and especially for interior design the lightning can make the difference. The intersting part here is that we had professional photographs of a private residence where we have also been involved in the design process and now tried afterwards to model and render like the photograph 😉

So it is really a nice case study to get the most out of the rendering skills and compare it to the realistic photos made by professionals! So without further ado – hope you enjoy it: [Read more…] about Corona Render + 3DS MAX Tutorial: Architecture Rendering vs. Photo

How to add/make rain in Photoshop?

Architectural visualization should awake emotions so it is quite imporant to create the right atmosphere in your rendering! Typically most renderings shows sunny spring weather with light blue sky and perfect green trees. But sometimes you want to stand out or show your architectural design in another mood. In these cases a rainy situation can be an option too! Therefore we want to show you in this tutorial for architects how you can create a rainy mood in Photoshop based on a regular daytime rendering.

Creating a rainy mood for your scene can be tricky, and it takes a lot of time and experience to achieve good results (i.e. in 3dsmax-vray). Therefore we want to show you an easier way to convert your regular daylight scenes to rainy moods with the help of Photoshop in the post production.

Corona Rendering Engine for 3DS MAX

Corona renderer is a photorealistic ray tracer, used by computer graphic artists for the final frame production rendering mainly for architectural and product visualizations. Corona has a free version, and also a commercial release. The last couple of years they attracted thousands of users, and a lot of attention in the architectural visualization industry. So that is the reason why we want to take a closer look and spot some light on the capabilities and the workflow when it comes to rendering architecture visualizations with 3DS MAX and the Corona render engine.
