Hey everyone! Sharing a bedroom project I recently designed and visualized.

I wanted to play around with the contrast between the traditional damask wallpaper and more contemporary elements like the walnut joinery, rounded furniture, and built-in cabinetry. The main goal was to keep the room warm and comfortable without making it feel too traditional.

I worked on the interior design, material palette, furniture and built-in elements, and then brought everything together in 3D using SketchUp + D5 Render. And for mood board I have used chatgpt go.

Would love to hear what you think — especially about the material choices, composition, and overall feel of the room. Always happy to get some honest feedback and see what I could improve.

I’m currently open to architectural and interior 3D design and visualization commissions.Dm for more

Thanks for taking a look!

Unfortunately the teacher and the class are using V-ray while I’m using Arnold, very difficult to keep up and try to find a way to do what they do without V-ray, I used two types of lighting in the spotlights to give it a glow, I still don’t know how to use the material slate which I think would be a game changer in the future but for now I stuck to free materials I found online. My laptop fans got so loud that I thought it’ll explode when I was rendering, and I tried adding another material to the rug to make it look flat but the laptop CPU just froze.

Any tips and suggestions?

Found some old sketches from around 2015. They were one of several iterations for a mountain cabin on a steep, wooded site. The project eventually went in a different direction before it got built, but some of the early verions, including this one, stuck with me.

So 11 years later, I went back to this concept and gave it the visualizations I wish I'd been able to make back then.

Hi everyone,

Sharing one of my recent gym visualization projects. I work on creating realistic 3D interior renders, helping architects and interior designers present their concepts more effectively.

I’m currently looking to connect with interior design studios, architects, and renovation firms who need reliable support for their visualization work — whether it’s still renders, 360° views, or animation.

My goal is to build long-term collaborations where I can fit into the existing workflow and help bring design ideas to life through high-quality visuals.

A little about me: I’m a 3D visualizer specializing in architectural visualization, interiors, and exteriors.

If you have upcoming projects and need rendering support, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to collaborate.

Thanks!

Hey all, sharing a little tool I've been using in production and finally cleaned up for release.

The problem: Corona's native Material Override is great for clay renders, but it's all-or-nothing — it replaces every material in the scene. That's annoying when you need glass, lights, portals, or anything with displacement/opacity to stay visible so your lighting preview actually makes sense.

What it does: OverrideByMaterial lets you define exclusions instead — by material type (lights, portals, slicers, refractive materials), by name pattern (wildcards like *glass*), or by manually picking materials straight from the Slate/compact Material Editor. It recursively walks Multi/Sub-Object, Blend, Shell, and Corona Layered trees, and it also supports XRef Scene content. If a material has bump/displacement/opacity, it'll copy those maps onto the clay version so you don't lose the scene's silhouette.

It's got a "safe mode" baked in too — it calls holdMaxFile() before applying anything, and there's a dedicated Restore button since Ctrl+Z won't undo the swap. There's also an Automatic mode that hooks into pre/post-render so it just feels like flipping one checkbox.

MIT licensed, single .ms file, no dependencies. Works from 3ds Max 2019+ and Corona 9+ (I've tested on 2023 / Corona 14).

Would love feedback — especially if anyone wants V-Ray support or has edge cases where the exclusion logic breaks. Open to PRs too.

First lighting study for my archviz portfolio.

Render engine: Unreal Engine 5 Path Tracer
Software: Unreal Engine 5
Output: Direct 8-bit PNG from Unreal Engine no color grading applied.

The goal was to create a warm, cozy residential dining atmosphere while keeping the lighting believable. The pendant lights are set to 2800K. I included both the clay and final material versions to make it easier to evaluate the lighting separately from the materials.

I’d really appreciate constructive feedback on:

• lighting and overall color balance
• whether the scene feels too warm/orange
• material realism
• composition
• anything that keeps it from feeling portfolio-ready

This is still part of my portfolio development, so any specific criticism is welcome.

A recent interior I worked on, going for a warm and slightly retro feel.

Kept the modelling fairly clean and spent more time on the materials and lighting
