March 2015 - Lectures in Brussels, Belgium

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).

City Centre - main square with amazing historic facades and architecture.

Morning in the countryside (Londerzeel). Fairy tale.

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!

Playing with V-Ray materials customized test ball.

DSSmith refurbished office in Brussels. The most amazing office I have ever seen. So far.

To sum it up - If they have Zaha Hadid's book on a table at the entrance, You know You are at the right place ;)

What is our next destination? You decide! If You want to bring our workshops to Your city, or a city near You, let us know - and help us organize it!

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.
