Time Travelers House by Tolgahan Gungor
I found this post in the CGSSociety website, which is a large platform for creative digital artists. After browsing the pages, I found this Time Travelers House most attractive to me.
This set of renderings are most inspiring to me because as an architecture student, I am well aware of the difficulty of 3D renderings. First, the author needs to build a 3D model in SketchUp or Rhino even though the result is only a 2D image. When she was trying to render the model the materials are really hard to find or choose. After rendering the model, you need to render the background using Photoshop. It is so amazing that I could not find any flaw in these renderings. It really inspires me to learn photoshop and vray well so that one day, I can do the renderings as cool as she does.
I think the purpose of those photo-realistic renderings are that, first, they can give people to realistic overall sense towards the context of the house- the imitated experience of being there. Then, good renderings for household can really attract more buyers to purchase the house. Finally, I feel like every rendering has its own emotion as well. It conveys to audience some feeling, sometimes regretness, sometimes sadness, and sometimes curiosity. I think this one gives me the feeling of curiosity, which matches with its theme Time Travelers House as well.
It is quite amazing that the 3D rendering technologies nowadays are so advanced that 3D computer graphics are able to create images that sometimes even seem more realistic than photograph.
