Hi my friends :)
It’s as bit long time since my last blog post, but I am pretty sure You understand it… as everybody else, I wish my day has 48 hours :)

Self-reflection for all of us
What’s wrong with us, guys?
This is just an idea for a self-reflection for all of us. (including me, of course!)
Why did we stop producing original images with deep ideas, nice compositions, interesting lighting? Why do all the scenes look the same? Why everyone uses same assets and gets the same results?
I’d say Peter Guthrie or Bertrand Benoit are really great inspirations, but guys, GUYS!!! stop copying them. Using the same assets, same settings, their models, you won’t get anything original, interesting, meaningful. It’s all just copying. Like taking a song from some known singer and sing it in Your own way. It’ll never be better than original. Deal with it.
This is not arts&crafts anymore. This is just a factory production using pre-made assets firstly dismantled and then put together without any taste.
Think about it. Think about Yourselves. Think about the future of CGI industry.
Let me know what do You think in the comments area below.
With all the respect,
Matus
Notes:
1. I have a big respect towards Peter Guthrie and Bertrand Benoit, I admire their style and in no way I want to question or doubt what they do. Their names were used just as an example of best-known artists among the industry.

Photoshop conifer masking brushes
First of all, thanks to my friend Yosi for creating PNGs of conifers and uploading them to FlyingArchitecture Forum some time ago. It came to me very handy to have them as brushes for Photoshop for easy masking of Your render backgrounds. Just a simple stroke can generate non-repeating edge of any forest ;)

I decided to test a new approach to architectural visualization (at least new for me), or better to say Illustration. What if PS sketching would be enough for an architectural presentation? would you, as a client, be interested in such a presentation for Your project?
(I’m sorry for the quality of sketches, but to be honest – this is my first time trying this.)
Almost flyingArchitecture
I finally found some time to start working on my personal project in the gap between commercial jobs :) This time, I’d like to create some nice and modern architecture, levitating above the terrain, but still in terms of a real construction.
Let’s get to work :)
Working on some details:
Okay, so after some time I finished the project of this house. Here are final visuals:
This image received the Image of the week award on V-Ray workshop group and was featured on CGRecord website.
Daylight image received Image of the week award in 3D artist magazine and will be shortly featured in a printed media :)
Thanks to all who supported me! :)

3D models for the new NURBS store
I am working really hard on our upcoming store items :) Can’t wait to launch the project!
My daughter, Vanesa.
My first daughter, Vanesa was born to bring a light to our lives and to make us even happier than before. This is one of the most exciting days of my life!

FlyingArchitecture Redesign
Because of a recent hack of FlyingArchitecture, I had to fix several bugs on the website. At the same time, I decided to make a face-lift of the FlyingArchitecture.
I used a WP-zoom theme, which fits my needs the most. What do You think?
Do You like this new site design?
