Sometimes you might get a big project that will require more a few additional renders. Typically, artists will produce on average about five renders for a project. That was not the case with one of the latest […]
A great way to develop our skills in interior rendering with Cycles is with personal projects. If you are looking to get a job in a studio, having several personal projects in a portfolio is a great plus. The reason for that is because people will have the impression that you like to test your […]
The settings used to light a scene for interiors in Cycles will most likely feature an HDRI map as environment texture. That map will help you both compose a background and add light energy to the scene. But, a few artists are choosing a bright white light as background to light their scenes with some […]

They have special tricks and workflows that allow them to keep a regular level of productivity and quality. Today we want to share two projects that demonstrate how two artists that often appear here […]
