3D rendering with Octane

admin — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 18:01:53 +0000

Here are the first tests of rendering with the software Octane by Refractive Software. Impressive stuff!

Check out the images here: http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/20471606/1//Octane%20Renders?h=73952c&p=0

All renders are without any postproduction and are all how they came out of the renderer. Original images at 1600 x 1200 or higher.

For the project ‘Ghosts in Armour’ which I am involved in, we have spent the last 3 months compiling a book that shows all progress to this date.

The 190-page book will highlight some 30 projects that were done with well over 200 images, a plethora of written works and even a DVD.

The book will be ready to coincide with the opening of the ‘Ghosts in Armour’ exhibition at Bilbao Arte, Bilbao, Spain on 11th June 2010. It will eventually be able to be purchased at www.ghostsinarmour.com at a price of 25 British Pounds.

Master of Arts in Design

As of February of 2010 I will be taking some time off to do a Masters Degree at ZHdK, Zurich in Switzerland.

Always finding new areas, I am doing the masters with specialisation in Interaction Design.

Therefore you wont see many new projects here in the near future, although there is a dedicated blog for the duration of my course.

Regards,

Armin Seltz.

The 4-hour project

admin — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:33:41 +0000

Recently I was asked to deisgn a flyer for a kids clothes shop in Germany. As i was only there for one day everything had to be done in a few hours.

Armed with my Macbook and an internet connection I did the job right there in the shop over a few hours.

The image is from the brilliant page photocase.de. Thanks to photocase user koketts6 for the image. The flyer was sent off via the web to be printed 10,000 times the same day.
