Making of House in Alentejo by Sérgio Merêces

Hello everyone, my Name is Sérgio Merêces, I’m a CG and 3D architectural visualization artist based in Portugal,I started my career in 2003 as a  generalist 3d artist in a video game company where I worked until 2008. In 2009, then began my career as Arch-viz artist until day. And in this article I will try to present you and give  some tips in this project I did for a client in Portugal.

For this project I were originally inspired by real photos from around the world. After a lot of research around the web i find out some really cool inspirations for lighting, vegetation and materials.

So let’s start!

When beginning a project the first tthing to do is always adjust the settings of the gamma and units that I always I use meters. I always put my gama 2.2 as it shows in the image in the 3d studio max preferences.

In Vray settings I always use 2.2  and Reinhard .
