Best Visualisation

Huawei Watch

Studio: Glassworks – Client: Huawei – Country: Great Britain – Software: 3ds Max, ZBrush, Renderman, Blender, Cinema 4D, Lightwave, Maya, Modo, Vue, Rhinoceros,
Houdini, Softimage, V-Ray, Mudbox, Mental Ray, Real Flow, Poser, After Effects, Avid, Fusion, Flame, Nuke, Premiere, Final Cut

For the visualisation of a Huawei watch, the team filmed live action plates with a RED Dragon and combined these shots with photorealistic CGI animations. The main challenge of the project was to create a seamless connection between these two elements.

Best Architecture Visualisation

Villa 3D Animation – Maisons Oxygène

Studio: Valentinstudio – Artists: Valentin Ayrault, Tristan Pogorbsky & Lucas Luisetti – Client: Real Estate Promoter: Maisons Oxygène – Country: France – Software: 3ds Max, Fusion, Corona, Grow FX

The 3-person team worked on the project for 2 months, supported by freelancers. During production, the features of the Corona Renderer were particularly helpful, allowing the artists not to focus too much on the technical challenges of visualisation and to invest more time in the creative processes.
