Physical Camera Rendering

This is my attempt using the physical camera for rendering. It's very useful for controlling exposure and creating the depth of field (DOF) effects. I found that the colour is closer to reality using physical camera as the exposure can be adjusted. The first rendering was produced without DOF.

The rendering below utilised the DOF function provided by the physical camera

Study Room at Night

This is another attempt of night scene rendering of the study room, doesn't look impressive though.

Study Room

I am back on modelling again after submitting my dissertation. I did this study room visualisation with traditional Chinese design style. The design intergrates landscaping and interior to create a sense of tranquility, which suits the requirement for a study room. This visualisation work reflects my current desire looking forward for a rest after a year's hardwork.

It's not very detailed as I did this as a practice. It's really enjoyful to do this visualisation. I love the terrace lily pool especially. A space for reading with the aroma of tea and the sound of water, what a luxury!

Bonjour, Paris!

On my 25th birthday, I decided to something which I've never imagined of. Yes, backpacking alone. There are several reasons trigerring my desire to travel alone in Europe. First, having backpacking with a group of friends may be fun, but it also can be frustrating when there were different opinions as where to go and where to eat. It took a lot of time to make a simple decision, which in turn can be made useful by going somewhere you really wanted to visit. Secondly, it is a good idea to try something different and challenging on a birthday. So, I made up my mind and booked the flight ticket and hostel bed a month before departure.

Travelling alone means no one will watch after you. So, it's important to be fully prepared with travelling informations. The most difficult part was to study Paris public transportation. Basically, the metro network is not that complicated and it connects the major tourist attractions. The tricky part is it's assigned with different zones for stations and this comes with different fares. A valid ticket covering a certain zone is needed to travel 'legally'. If you cross the zone not coverd by the ticket fare, good luck or you can be fined by metro police. Finally I understood how the system works and decided which type of ticket to be purchased.

There were a lot of studies to be made prior to departure.That helps a lot during the trip I must say. Now I am back, bringing fond memories and great experience. I must say that travelling alone in Paris is not hard, it's fun and enjoyful! Glad I made the right decision.

I purposely missed some attractions to justify my return visit to Paris in future.It's a wonderful city and there's a lot to be experienced!
