I love to do this: creating a 3D scene and making it look like a loosely drawn 2D illustration.
This image was created as a mood-setting illustration for a multi-part magazine crime story.
Hope you like it.

Hi,
You might have seen this scene before, but I rerendered it with the new Maxwell renderer. There's a little bit of rendering noise left in his legs and such, but I don't think that's disturbing.
Hope you like it.

Metin

This is an art concept I rendered with my new friend the Maxwell renderer from Next Limit. In case some very rich American company wants to buy this for about $1,000,000 and put it somewhere near their main entrance, then just drop me a message.

Hi,
I used the VRay Toon functionality of the VRay 1.5 beta version (implemented as an Atmospheric effect in 3ds Max) for this image.
I tried to depict the downside of bureaucracy (is there an upside?). Because of all kinds of often stupid rules people have to wait in line, while there is plenty of room to proceed.
Hope ya like it.

Hi,
Created this for an assignment. Although the device looks fairly simple, it was still a relatively tough job for me. But I'm not very experienced yet in accurate recreation of existing products, although I really enjoy it. Hope you like the result.

Thanks and cheers,

Hi,
In the Netherlands there's the so-called BRAIN Foundation against music and movie piracy. Nothing wrong about that, but their latest initiative is the distribution of CD-ROMs among school children, containing software that ereases all peer to peer software from their system.
