Once we bought the house, my husband and I had been enamored with the attractive tile flooring: 2,000 sq. ft of beautiful wall-to-wall slate tile from one finish of the little ranch to a different. Jackpot! we thought. No carpet to vacuum or shampoo: bonus for my allergies. And just think about how straightforward it could be to keep up when we have youngsters! Sweep it up and also you’re accomplished!

Springboard, your final statement is the best way to go, I think! Purchase some land when the costs drop and erect a castle/home that can be in your loved ones for generations. That’s what the castles had been built for, anyway! We need to have an architectural scheme that isn’t so utilitarian, however will be beautiful, established homesteads for kids’s kids in the years to come back.

The moment we acquired the knowledge from French Toast we began to …

Providing VR assets as part of an architectural visualization project is gradually becoming the norm. We’ve seen a few solutions before, and today I’m showcasing a new one by Biganto, called Virtoaster. Exciting features to consider are the overall 3d model explorer (open scale model style) and customizable interactive hotspots.

Biganto is an ArchViz Studio and a Digital Solutions supplier for developers, architects, designers, and CG artists. They are best known for creating interactive tours of large scale, such as Rumyantsevo Park, the “Making of” posted here a couple of years ago.

Virtoaster is a classic case of “scratching your own itch,” creating a tool others can benefit from during the process and bridge the gap between the existing pipeline of architecture visualization and interactive and VR content production.

With Virtoaster, you are provided with a toolkit and infrastructure for content creators, allowing you to turn your architecture visualization assets

This is Lush, Lisa Della Dora’s personal project, and the only way to travel in the past year! This is a project of escape, using lots of MAXTREE 3d plants, and a test of caustics too. Can you spot the animals?

Hi everybody, I’m Lisa. I’m a 3D artist, the art director of the MADI (Post-graduate Master in Digital Architecture of the Iuav University of Venice), and the creator of the Italian blog and ArchViz community Render IT!

I’m thrilled that Ronen invited me to show some insight into one of my latest personal projects: Lush. I developed the image in 3ds max + Corona Renderer, and I did post-production in Photoshop.

Here you can see the final results I achieved with this scene, and I’m going to explain to you more in detail how I developed the main frontal image.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (KCTV/Gray News) – A manager at an Olive Garden restaurant in Kansas was fired after a harsh message was sent to employees about taking time off.

A representative with the chain confirmed the Overland Park restaurant manager’s firing to KCTV on Tuesday.

“We are no longer taking ANY excuse for calling off,” the manager’s message read in part. “If you’re sick, you need to come prove it to us. If your dog dies, you need to bring him in and prove it to us. If it’s a ‘family emergency,’ too bad. Go work somewhere else.”

The message also said anyone who calls more than once in the 30 days since it was sent out will no longer work at the restaurant.

The manager describes her own work ethic in the message, saying she worked when she felt sick and even made it work after her car was
