Amazing work
A little process breakdown for this one:
I started with AI to explore the concept quickly and find the overall feeling of the piece. The first image gave me a strong starting point: a circular house, embedded in nature, with a soft and quiet atmosphere.
Then I took that direction into Cinema 4D, where the look began to evolve with more intention. I refined the architecture, adjusted the proportions, worked on the materials, shaped the landscape, and tested different lighting setups to push the mood further.
What began as a loose AI exploration slowly turned into something more precise and designed.
That back and forth between speed and control is what I’m enjoying a lot lately.
Love seeing the process behind this. The AI concept already had a strong atmosphere, but the final direction feels much more intentional and architectural. Beautiful evolution 👏
Playing around with a 3D voice recorder.
Nothing too complicated, just wanted to see how far I could push the materials, lighting and small details to make a simple object feel real.
Sometimes it’s the simplest objects that are the most fun to animate.✨
That brushed metal finish is doing so much work here, it actually reads as a physical object instead of a render. What was your lighting reference for getting that matte-but-still-metallic look?
