30 Incredibly Realistic 3D Interior and Exterior Environments
3D interior environments and 3d exterior environments are essential for architectural visualization, film and matte painting, visual effects, as well as design.

After years of developing his craft in the commercial business in London, he exploded on the feature animation scene with the Genie in Aladdin. After that, he co-directed Pocahontas and later directed two classic sequences from Fantasia 2000 – Rhapsody in Blue and Carnival of the Animals. Eric was also responsible for animating Phil in Hercules and he is currently animating on the upcoming film The Princess and the Frog.
