Free Mat Test Scene
As promised, here is the material testing scene I used for my recent Materialism tutorial. It is a very simple scene but it may be worth downloading nonetheless as the archive includes a very high-res, 90MB HDR map. I thought about downsampling it but the high resolution is actually necessary to generate the sharp, realistic ...

Materialism (1)
As promised, I wanted to follow up on my Eames series with a few pointers about the materials created for the chairs. This is the first in a series of mini how-to tuts about materials. The Eames chairs are a good place to start. They all use materials that are meant to show some age, ...

Eames Photoshoot
Here is a short series of images I’d been keeping under wraps. My original idea was to create small tutorials focused on the various materials used in the scene and to release these together with the images. However, since Australian online decoration magazine EST has done me the honour of publishing a feature on these, ...

Chicago Loft (full scene)
Over the past few months, several people who had bought my furniture on Turbosquid asked whether I would consider putting a full scene up for sale. So when I recently revisited an older piece, loosely based on a Chicago interior by Studio Gang Architects, I thought it would make a nice, self-contained interior scene to ...

Cameo
Just a quick one to point out that my Ditte Isager series is making a small appearance in this month’s 3D Creative. You can check the content of the issue here. The full series is here.

CGSkies open for business
I’ve had many questions in the past year or so about the skies I’ve been using in my scenes. For a long time, I wasn’t at liberty to say much about them. No longer. I’m happy to report that Marcel Vijfwinkel, the man behind the enormously popular CGTextures.com, and his accomplice Wojtek Starak have now ...
