This is  a realistic interior render in Maya inspired by the Traditional Tuscan Country Kitchen ‘s style. To make the realistic render I did a deep work on light setup and material settings.

Everything is modeled in Autodesk Maya using poly modeling techniques, very useful to make scenes for interior render. A lot of work took the custom texture painting over the surfaces, I used wood reference photos taken during one of my winter Alps journey.

3D Animation of a Gold Chain: Jewel Render in Maya

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Video Renders

In this video render we had to present the new gold chain system invented by FAOR, a world leader in the gold jewelry sector. I had to make a 3D animation of the gold chain and then try to make the realistic render as close as possible to the references of the client.

The spirit of the video render and animation was to bring these gold chains to life as if they had a soul. The 3D animation was made using dynamics systems built in Maya, the realistic rendering was done using Arnold for Maya.

I did these 3d models and renders in November 2016 just after the launch of new Macbook Pro Touch Bar. I wanted to test myself in Maya modeling and realistic render on industrial products.

Some modeling tasks were very challenging, especially the bottom part of the apple MacBook (because of screw holes on a curve surface). all 3d Maya poly mesh. I made the realistic renders in Maya using Arnold. You can Download this Maya 3D Model from TS.

This scene have been made to use a set of not utilized 3d character animations that we made for a client. We decided to put our animated iguana on top of a rock in a windy but sunny day. My task was to create the 3d environment with details and animate it (including trees and grass).

We made the 3d character animation of the iguana inside Autodesk Maya, the realistic video render was possible by the utilization of Arnold render for Maya.

Bedroom Render with Wood Cabinet 3d and Furnishing

This is an example of a very common tecnique to make a 3d catalog for furnishing: the interaction of real photography and 3d models created inside Maya. In this case the client had a photograph of an old catalogue, I had to substitute the furinighing mantaining the old set and ambient. What I did is to model the new furnitures and then match them to fit the light and the mood of the picture. Made in Maya, rendered in Arnold.

Exterior Render Maya and Mental Ray: 3d Villa Leopoldina Arezzo

This is a realistic exterior render in Maya of a tuscan villa called “Leopoldina” I made the 3d model using the poligonal modeling tools of Maya and the realistic rendered have been made in Mental Ray. The image is all 3D, no image is applied in post production.

To make the realistic garden I used my own collection of grass, flowers, plants and trees. I created these 3d models of plants and grass to make them look realistic without killing the rendering performances. All the texture are hand-made by me.

Realistic Exterior Render in Maya: Modern villa

Posted Leave a commentPosted in Renders

I saw this model as a render over the net made with 3d studio max and V-Ray, I tried to achive the same result with Maya and Mental Ray. So I remodel everything looking at existing renders, I had no technical documentation. The exciting part of this job was finding the way to handle millions of polygons, I thanked god for BSP2. I don’t know who wins between Mental ray vs V-Ray, but I’m pretty happy of my result.
