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 …

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 …
