ArtWanted! featuring Joshua Wu
Lunedì, 26 Settembre 2022
“Here’s to the new us!” As the world around us continues to change rapidly, what remains the same is our enthusiasm for the 3D community and the outstanding work its members share with us at Rebus Render Farm. This month, senior character artist Joshua Wu blesses us with his evocative depiction of Jinx, the well-loved loose cannon from the ‘League of Legends’ media franchise. Not your regular piece of fanart, Joshua’s 3D rendition faithfully captures the essence of the character through a more photographic aesthetic, and was very well-received online.
Check out our interview to learn how Joshua struck the right balance between photorealistic and stylized and gain insight into his creative process!

3D Artist of the Month September 2022: Fabricio Rezende
Giovedì, 01 Settembre 2022
Throughout human history, myths and folklore have served as an important outlet for our desire for creative expression. While often fantastical in nature, the themes and morals contained within these age-old stories still apply to and reflect our experiences. It is no wonder then, that their universal appeal continues to inspire creative minds to this day, and Fabricio Rezende, our Rebus Render Farm September 2022 3D Artist of the Month, is no exception! His depiction of a leprechaun sees the traditionally mischievous creature far removed from its pot of gold, a hauntingly hopeless victim of abject poverty.
In our interview, Fabricio recalls his professional journey from the agricultural to the video game industry, reveals the real-life origins of his leprechaun, and speaks on the importance of finding your own artistic voice.

3D Artist of the Month June 2022: Gabriela Mazur
While architecture is always a product of its time, it also has the power to transcend time. When Gabriela Mazur, our June 2022 3D Artist of the Month, was first laid eyes on the plans of the ‘Casa Ayahuasca’, she was immediately spellbound by the bold concept. Located deep within the Mexican jungle, the fusion of a Mayan temple and an ancient Roman villa tingled her creative sensibilities. After all, who could resist the challenge of capturing the unique and mysterious atmosphere of a paradise lost?
Join us on an architectural journey through space and time, as Gabriela discusses the creation of the ‘Casa Ayahuasca’, tangible inspirations, and the philosophy of movement.

Art Wanted! Featuring Do Studio
Friday, May 20th, 2022 by Julian Karsunky
There are countless reasons people start their own business: a more flexible schedule, full financial and creative control, the ambition to make a name for themselves. When Brazilian architect and 3D artist Gustavo Görgen joined forces with his friends Marina Capalonga and Eduardo Possamai to found Do Studio in 2019, he was above all driven by the wish to be part of something bigger than himself – a common goal, a shared vision, and the belief that collective efforts surpass individual ones.
We sat down with Do Studio's three founders to discuss their joint venture and deep dived into one of their most recent projects, the 'Edificio Varandas'.

3D Artist of the Month March 2022: Claudia Lühl
Tuesday, March 1st, 2022 by Julian Karsunky
While beauty undoubtedly lies in the eye of the beholder, it is usually understood to mean "pleasing to our aesthetic sensibilities". To Claudia Lühl, our March 2022 3D Artist of the Month, beauty is particularly pleasing when it is complemented and contrasted with darker undertones. Crowning her recent graduation from the renowned Gnomon School of Visual Effects, Games and Animation, the 3D character artist reinterpreted a concept of a young child holding a lamb. A second glance at this seemingly perfect depiction of 'Innocence', however, reveals something unsettling lurking beneath the surface…
Join us, as Claudia dives deep into the creation of her latest project, talks about the hardships of studying during the pandemic, and her affinity for disquieting beauty.

Art Wanted! Featuring Hamed Zand
Friday, February 25th, 2022 by Julian Karsunky
Valentine's Day has just passed, but our love for 3D is certainly not bound to a specific day of the year. For our February 2022 Render Farm ArtWanted! feature, we have successfully courtedHamed Zand, and he graciously gifted us some eye candy, which we are more than happy to share with you!
Hamed Zand is yet another talented artist from the thriving 3D community in Iran. Based in Urmia, the 33-year-old has a degree in architecture, with his fascination for the field dating back to his adolescence, when he first laid eyes upon architectural photography. His passion eventually led him to 3D software, and he did his first archviz job in 2014. Today, Hamed mostly works with 3ds Max, Maya, and AutoCAD.
In 2018, Hamed joined forces with his friends Aqil Sayyah and Sheida Lotfi to find Xavi Studio. Initially, with little money and lackluster equipment at their disposal, the three of them have been working tirelessly to consolidate the company. Although Hamed tells us they still struggle with the occasional client’s lack of financial commitment, Xavi Studio is slowly but surely making a name for itself in architectural visualization and object/product modeling.
For his interior design work, Hamed prefers a minimal and modern style, with special emphasis on soft lighting and dark, more subdued color palettes.

Art Wanted! Featuring Omnia Ahmed
Tuesday, November 16th, 2021by Julian Karsunky
At first glance, the distinction between interior and exterior in architecture and design seems clear-cut. However, liminal spaces such as gardens or rooftops blur this line: should we consider them separate entities or are they two sides of the same coin? In search of answers, we have reached out to Omnia Ahmed, a talented young CG artist from Egypt. An interior designer specialized in furniture, fixtures and equipment, Omnia has also enjoyed working on several outdoor areas as part of a series of projects for Balance Decoration.
In our interview, Omnia discusses consistency in interior and exterior, going freelance and bottom-up design.
