Espresso Extraction

Another attempt of the espresso rendering series

Bella Espresso

Another visualisation work done since the katana assignment. Since I love drinking coffee, especially the irresistible aroma and the crema of espresso, so I decided to model one for myself :)

Anyway, this is a trial short assignment to get the crema effect. It shall be included in the next stage of interior rendering assignment.

Rendered in VRay, DOF done using VRay Z-Depth, post production in Photoshop.

Bloodshed Katanas

This is the scene depicting the ancient Japanese period. Perhaps there was a fight between 2 samurais with the autumn forest as the battle background.

The bloodshed effect adds impact to the composition as a camouflage for the red leaves.

Modelled in 3DS max, rendered with VRay. The leaves were done using particle system + motion blur and post production done in Photoshop.

Soul of the Samurai

Katana is the samurai sword. It's a deadly weapon with beauty.
The katana is regarded as the soul of the samurai, hence samurai will bear the katana all the time.

To me it's a masterpiece of art that is to be appreciated.
Too bad I can't afford to own one so I have my own digital collection of katana.

This was modelled in 3DS Max and rendered with VRay, with post production using Photoshop.
