I was inspired by my sisters art and her latest exhibition, and made this 3D illustration as a tribute to her talent and fantastic art.

I scanned one of her pictures, and tried to make a photorealistic scene.

You can see more of her art in my interior renders

It was not possible to take any good photos to use as a backplate, so I had to model the terrain.
Now it´s easy to render the area from different views, and make animations if needed.

The trees are instances. All Modo 301.

This was an animation test I did of my guitar in Modo 301.
Everything is rendered in modo. I rendered out 5 clips and edited them in Final Cut Express.

The camera work is sloppy but I like the overall look of the animation.

Average rendertime pr. frame was 1 minute on my MacPro 2,8 (8 core).]]> Sun, 16 Mar 2008 12:48:31 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/600641

Ok. Stupid name.

I did this interior for a client, in a hurry, in modo, but I did not like it at all.
So I rerendered it in Lightwave using FPrime for the beauty pass, and the Lens Flare is an F9.
The two layers was composited and tweaked in Photoshop.

The backdrop photo was placed on a big polygon for total control of the placement of the sun. It was taken around 10 AM in desember, so the sun was low and warm.

This version I'm more happy with than the first, soa the word Revived is not that far off...]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2008 10:53:21 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/579116

This is the harbour of my town, Ålesund-.
This is visualization of the planned express-boat terminal.
(The train-like-ish building in the center of the photo)

I took the photo in the middle of the day, but as you can see, the sun was very low, with a beautiful warm light.

I modeled and rendered the building in modo and did the comp in Photoshop.]]> Thu, 03 Jan 2008 10:13:58 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/566815

I´m not really into interiors and this need some work, but I post it anyway. ]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:49:34 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/524564

An old scene that I rendered in Lightwave (w/FPrime) just before modo 201 was released.

Wanted to do a modo version, so here you go.

Not perfect, but I will not spend more time with this scene. Ever... ]]> Wed, 01 Aug 2007 08:56:33 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/521258

Don't be fooled. It's a horse, NOT a cow.

Joke aside, the bulidings is CG, the rest is not.
Client work.

Btw. A lady saw the illustration at the real-estate agency, and went to the site to take a look at the buildings.
All she found was a BIG sign with my illustration.
Nice...

Hope you like it.]]> Mon, 23 Jul 2007 13:20:29 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/473426

It's a kitchen. Sorry about that...]]> Mon, 12 Mar 2007 22:08:08 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/449247

Really silly, I know.

Had to model and texure this stair for a project, and wanted to see a render of it. Fast.
So I just put it inside a super-simple box, opened the door, and hit Render...

That's it.]]> Tue, 09 Jan 2007 18:18:32 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/403393

Inspired by the Maxwell and V-ray material library, I started
playing with maps in modo's shader tree.]]> Sun, 10 Sep 2006 20:29:30 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/392891

This one is based on an old Lightwave scene.
I reused the lwo, but the rest is modo 202.
DOF and some post work in Photoshop.]]> Sun, 13 Aug 2006 21:06:24 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/391722

This is a new version of an old Lightwave project, rendered in modo 202.

The idea was to do a studio setup with a twist. I enjoy doing industrial design, so I used this standard chair and went crazy with the legs.

Hop you like it...]]> Thu, 10 Aug 2006 07:50:52 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/385980

This model is based on a consept art/design by Glen Southern and was submitted to a modeling challenge at Spinquad.

It's a mix between a walrus, a mantis and a lobster.., I guess.

I used modo 103 for this one too

This is a wire render of the guitar in the 'Nice Wallpaper...' image.

Some old headphones I modeled in Lightave 8]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 22:18:45 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/384828

This is a house that burned down in 1904, when the whole town went up in flames the same night.
I've tried to recreate this house for the local museum.

There are almost no photos or informations of this lovely building, I'm afraid.
This and some other small images was all I had as a reference.

Still some small parts to figure out and add.
Based on the sparse referance material, the result is not bad at all.
I think...

Modeled in modo 103]]> Sun, 23 Jul 2006 21:06:40 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/384397

Yes that a very original title.

This is a design and render I did early 2005. I was testing out studio light setup, and needed something to render, so I came up with this chair design.

]]> Sat, 22 Jul 2006 13:21:48 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/384387

Modeled for a challenge at Spinquad.com

The contest was in the middle of my vacation, so I did'nt make the deadline.
Still alot of work to be done on this mesh, but it looks nice

modo 103 was used for modeling.]]> Sat, 22 Jul 2006 13:00:42 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/347987

Had the urge to model a guitar, so I did that.
Added a 'special' enviroment with some nice colors and pattern...

Modeled in Modo, textured and rendered in Lightwave 8.5 with FPrime 2.1

I wanted to show a friend of mine - who runs the 'innotown' design festival - how you could use 3D to visualize something that would be very hard in Photoshop or Illustrator.

So I used their logo and made a mess out of it...]]> Mon, 03 Apr 2006 09:04:10 +0000 http://polymess.cgsociety.org/gallery/333809

Had this idea of a single chair with crazy long legs. Used a well known design for the chair and put it in a studio enviroment.]]> Wed, 22 Mar 2006 23:07:22 +0000
