April 2015 - Workshop in Barcelona

Couple of hours ago, I came back from Barcelona (Spain), where I led a workshop dedicated to architectural visualization in Rhinoceros, V-Ray and Photoshop. Once again (as two times before), it happened in McNeel's offices, thanks to iCreatia and SMD Architects - Thank you guys!

During the first day it was cloudy and windy, but the other day, Barcelona shown me it's sunny face, so I had a great time to explore the city with my camera, which actually broke a week before that, but I took it with me anyway (some major problems with auto-focus) - so I have to get it fixed next week. Tip: Always make sure your bag is properly closed and zipped when carrying gear like DSLR, lenses and flashes... :/

Barcelonetta is my fav part of Barcelona, with it's super tiny streets where you would be able to do a parkour in between balconies of opposite buildings!

Showing me countless amazing views, I took plethora of nice pics, so it was super hard to pick just a few of them to show here. 

As we do not have any beaches in Czech Republic, I took my chance and despite of like minus 20 degrees (I felt it that way!), I tried to walk in a water for a while. (Got sorethroat the other day... Regret nothing!)

And let's get to the offices: We got students from several European countries and following the workflow of Rhinoceros, V-Ray and Photoshop, we were able to prepare pretty nice images of a beach house (actually we postproduced renders from our Forest house scene and turned it into a beach house.) Outputs were really amazing, our students did very good job!

And of course, having some spanish drinks and food and talking about projects was an unforgetable part of the workshop :) Those who did not come... you should not miss such a great food and talk next time ;)

And this little friend was hypnotizing me through the window when I tried to concentrate on work... such a cutie! :)

Hannamdong 4- The Exploration process

At FlyingArchitecture, every project tells a unique story, and our workflow ensures that each one is crafted to perfection. We take pride in our methodical yet creative approach to turning initial concepts into compelling visual narratives. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we bring our projects to life.

3D printed concrete architecture

We had several opportunities to work on visualizations for the projects involving 3D printed buildings. One of them was The Tent, a building meant as a refugee shelter that is quickly erected after a major natural disaster in China.

The switch

Recently, we have decided to limit our support for the store with 3D assets and instead fully focus on what we love to do – creating striking architectural visualizations.

The nature of FlyingArchitecture revealed

We are excited about this transformation and believe that it will enable us to better showcase and present our capabilities, to show the customers what we really do and provide even greater value to them.

Realtime walkthrough: Lake Cabin, part 3

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.
