中國風. Chinese style

My latest visualisation work with traditional Chinese architecture. I tried to use the water shader (ocean lume) to simulate the water. The water generates caustic effect though the effect is not good enough. I use mental ray with mr sun+mr sky. I found the mr photographic exposure quite useful and comparable to vray physical camera in terms of usability and function.

中國風. Chinese style

I love the Chinese style pop songs which incorporate the traditional elements into the music. Jay Chou's music is one of the best example. This had inspired me to do 3D visualisation with Chinese elements. This visual was done based on a photo of Chinese style landscaping, with mental ray and daylight system.

Cheng Hoe Seah heritage building animation 清和社古蹟建築動畫

This is the animation for my 3D modelling project, featuring the Cheng Hoe Seah heritage building (No 83)in Geotgetown, Penang.

This is the section drawing of the " Cheng Hoe Seah" building I worked on. It's a typical shophouse construction with two airwells. The timber staircase at the central airwell was crafted with excelent aesthetical details.

No. 83, China St. Georgetown, Penang

This is the 3D modelling and visualisation project for one of my CAAD modules. We need to model and visualise a chosen vernacular building. No. 83, China St. Georgetown, Penang is a beautiful Straits Eclectic style shophouse. It is owned by the Chinese society " Cheng Hoe Seah". The building was restored and currently is used as art and cultural space with gallery(Alpha Utara Gallery) and cafe.
