The DSSmith design team. And proud me.

19/20/23 of March was spent at DSSmith - packaging design company which is transforming it's design workflow to Rhinoceros and V-Ray. And I was there to help them with this transformation. During these three days, we followed Rhinoceros Level 1 and Level 2 summary to get and understand the knowledge needed for successful designing in Rhino's NURBS tech. The flow of the workshop was a bit fast to be able to cover as much features as possible, but in the end we were able to cover it all.

Having some free time in Brussels, I had some time to explore the city, but following photos were taken during/after the workshop, as I spent the weekend in Paris (business meeting and at the same time, my first visit of Paris and Eiffel Tower).

Walking through the city, I found many spots offering amazing views. Brussels is a beautiful city, indeed. Unless it's foggy (which it was during first days) - but it got back it's reputation easily during last 2 days of my stay :)

Amazing time outside, but let's get back to DSSmith office: (which is one of the most amazing offices I have ever seen in real, btw).

Modeling part was very exhausting (no time for photos!), so we enjoyed the time spent in V-Ray, playing with materials. And of course, I cannot forget to mention the Photoshop part!

Terrain sculpting tools in UE4 provide a very smooth experience and with addition of alpha brushes you can get pretty realistic detail. However sculpting large-scale believable terrains is a time consuming process and you need a keen eye for how the terrain is formed in the real world.

Receiving the source files meas only one thing: categorizing, cleaning, purging, repairing and remodelling. No matter who the client is, no matter what software they use, it's always necessary to get the geometry fixed to avoid possible and probable issues during the later stages. We also spend hours on studying local characteristics - typical country colors, people, cars, road marks, atmospheres - to bring them into the image and to create a believable story.
