As I near the end of this project, I have started to compile all of the imagery into portfolio spreads. This is the first pass at organizing the illustrations and diagrams to tell the story of the project. As I put this series of spreads together, I am still...

I have been experimenting with some interior illustrations and wanted to post a breakdown of this image. Determining the view for this shot has been difficult because there is so much going on in the design, and I wanted to find a view that properly captured...

A lot of you have been asking for V-Ray settings and so I am going to spend a little time going over the settings that I used to create the base rendering of the main street perspective in the previous post. I have been using V-Ray for over a year now and I am in...
