Hi. Camera matching in 3ds Max requires careful attention to detail and an understanding of perspective and camera principles. By accurately matching the virtual camera to the real-world camera, artists can create seamless compositions that blend real-world footage with 3D elements, enhancing the realism and immersion of their projects. Here are some tips I’ve accumulated …

Hi This is going to be a relatively short post, based on the previous (and humongous!) post here What’s it going to be about? Creating useful functions in MaxScript. What’s a function in MaxScript? Well, think of them as handy snippets of reusable code, which save on typing (always a good thing!) and the best …
Hi. If you managed to read and (hopefully!) understand my introductory blog post about MaxScript here then it’s time to start doing useful things with MaxScript, things with geometry. Yep, modelling stuff. This is going to be a really long blog post though, as there is a lot to get through… If you would prefer …
I do love the Octane Standalone renderer. I’m probably unique within the Archviz industry in opting for the Octane Standalone renderer as much as I do. The image above, taken from OTOY’s demo scenes, is the first one I rendered with it after downloading the demo. Cute isn’t it. More importantly, look at the depth …
Why do I love MaxScript? A lot of the 3D modelling work we do in Archviz can be tedious, frankly. You’ve modelled 20 boxes, and forgotten to rename them as ‘wall01’ ‘wall02’ etc. You’ve now renamed them all manually, but forgotten to give them a brick material, and then you’ve also forgotten to give them …
We’ve worked on so many projects, large and small but recently a large part of our work has been local residential projects here in Lincolnshire. Whether it’s a speculative new build, or the conversion of an existing historic barn, we have things covered. Please scroll down for recent examples of our residential work.
We’ve been helping The Frame and Log Company bring their ideas to life for years – and love the challenges that each individual project presents. The local company design, supply and build high-spec, timber-frame buildings for use all over the world – in remote or difficult places – and they usually rely on Retina to …
An unusual build, a difficult planning application in an AONB and a challenging site – this is very much in our comfort zone. Local architects Kelly & MacPherson brought us in on this tricky project to help with the ambitious planning application – because after years of working together, they knew we’d bring much more …
Whenever we take on a job, we never forget the trust our clients put in us – and the larger the project, the more pressure everyone is under to deliver, in often sensitive situations. Working on large commercial projects really gives us the chance to show our experience and go the extra mile to ensure …
Periodically we like to stretch out and flex our creative muscles. It’s important for us to keep up-to-date with new techniques and software. We will be updating this area from time to time highlighting competition entries and general R&D projects we undertake internally.
