Exotic Urbanism: Monu Issue 9

By Exotic Urbanism, Monu

MONUa magazine on urbanism – is a unique bi-annual international forum for artists, writers and designers that are working on topics of urban culture, development and politics. Each issue collects essays, projects and photographs from contributors from all over the world to a given topic.

In the latest issue In this issue the nice people behind Monu have taken the deliberate risk of making ourselves look ridiculous by focusing its theme on “the exotic”, which is often seen as some sort of worn out, utterly out of date topic, immediately evoking images of colonialism and imperialism.

Its got us intrigued and we are going to wander down to Art Data, 12 Bell Industrial Estate, 50 Cunnington Street, London W4 5HB to pick up a copy.

We are just back in the office after taking a week off out of the city. The big news while we have been away is the launch of PhotoSynth.

Up and coming posts include a new working paper, a tutorial to create HD timelapse’s, a return to Crysis and of course a closer look at PhotoSynth.

Regular service will be back soon as we can….

Clay Rendering

By Posts

Rendering 3D models can be over complicated, our favorite technique is the quick and easy ‘Clay’ render using 3DMax.The image above was created in SketchUp and then simply imported into Max using the .3ds export.

Once in Max take these simple steps to produce a image similar to the one above:

1) Add a ‘Skylight’ to the scene (click lighting, select a Skylight and click in your scene).The Skylight can be placed anywhere as is not a direct lighting component.

2) Hit F10 to bring up the Render Dialog and select the ‘Advanced Lighting’ tab, now click ‘LightTracer’

3) Render your scene.

That’s it, a quick and simple render that we often use for our images.
