Visualizations portfolio
All works here are visualisations for my part, and most include 3D modelling as well - some parametric modelling. In some projects I have also participated in the architectural design (mostly for HL Architects). And the school works are, of course: design, modelling & visualisation as a student of Architecture in Tampere University of Technology (and CTU in Prague as an exchange student).
Software currently in use
- Modelling: SketchUp (w/ dynamic components), Rhinoceros + Grasshopper
- Rendering: Enscape (previously: Thea Render, Cycles, Octane Render, Maxwell Render, V-Ray)
- Graphical: Adobe Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator.
