Asian Style Interior Design Asian style interior design, sometimes called Oriental design, showcases the cultures of Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand and other prominent Eastern societies. Some room designs are true to one style, while many Asian themed rooms are a combination of two or more cultural influences. The most recognizable design styles are Chinese and Japanese. Feng shui is practiced in many Asian countries, but it is becoming increasingly popular in Western cultures. This is a set of ancient Chinese guidelines for properly placing objects and buildings. Feng shui states that all objects have energy that is positive or negative, so care should be taken to balance these energies.

Shoji Screens (full text) Shoji Screens O ne of the most common elements seen in Japanese decor are sliding doors with translucent white paper mounted on the outer side of a wooden lattice. These doors are called shoji (pron. SHO-ji) in both Japanese and English. DIY Work of CNC Art: 3D Topographic Wood Table Project These days, you can make almost anything with the right tools. The question then shifts from one of possibility to one of choice – not ‘can’ but ‘should’ we build it? This table by anOtherArchitect seeks to answer this call with actions that are much louder than words. Combining craft, art, design and technology, one architect has created a table full of rich abstract topography that shows one direction of amazing potential with respect to computer-programmed CNC milling. The particular forms cut into the wooden surface happen to represent a computerized conversion of the ambient sounds of noise-polluted Cairo, Egypt – but the source is almost irrelevant as the curved aesthetic seems to ‘speak’ (no pun intended) for itself.

How To Design Exterior Stairs Getting from one place to another is rarely a problem when it comes to exterior design because, unlike interiors, you seldom have to worry about permanent structural elements, like walls, getting in the way. However, more consideration needs to be given to exteriors if there is an incline. Slopes and hills mean you will have to think about an inclined pathway or outdoor stairs. Steps and stairs have advantages over sloping paths since they are able to cope with steeper inclines. They are also capable of connecting the architecture of a home with the rest of the landscape design. Exterior stairs need to be hard wearing and resistant to the elements.

Small Attic Loft Apartment In Prague The design of this modern loft conversion located in Prague, Czech Republic uses natural materials such as stone, brick and wood to enhance the flat and angular surfaces. Designed by architect Dalibor Hlavacek, the two-storey attic loft makes good use of limited floor space. The living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom are on the lower floor. The upper gallery, accessible via staircase and a steel footbridge, creates an intimate space for the study, which can also be used as a second bedroom. Via: ArchDaily PSOFT WEBSITE - Pencil+ 3 Pencil+ 3 is a non-photorealistic shader plug-in for 3ds Max that produces pencil sketch-like strokes. It produces images that look like pen drawings or color pencils as well as flat presentations similar to animation cels. High Level Expressiveness You can reproduce in 3D the distinctive art style of Japanese animation and illustrations. The modifier functions newly introduced in Pencil+ 3 make it possible to create effects that are difficult to achieve in 3D, such as incorrect shading for solid objects or bold scenographic effects through extreme perspective deformations.

The elements of design It’s generally accepted that there are eight elements most commonly used in design of any type. These are line, space, form, shape, texture, colour, light and time. Of those we will focus on line, shape & form, space, colour, light and texture. HDRI exterior lighting with Vray An outline of the techniques used for rendering an exterior scene using Autodesk 3ds Max and Chaos Group Vray. A HDR image will be used to light and reflect the environment and VraySun as the direct light source for a typical sunny day scene. HDRI stands for high-dynamic-range imaging, which is a 32bit float image format that allows a greater dynamic range of luminance between the lightest and darkest areas of an image.

Creating a realistic wood material with V-Ray Introduction We are going to look at some real world photos of antique wood, analyze the main features and use some advanced material creation techniques to re-create that look with V-Ray. Instead of unwrapping all the objects and painting custom maps for them, we are going to use a procedural approach. This method is quicker and the resulting material can be re-used in other projects.
