She is Real OR Find Five Differences

Though we have never seen Celebrity Solstice in reality, we know it as if we were born there. Each lamp or chandellier, their minutest details, each table or chair, even sockets and hull details are familiar to us. Are we telepathists? Nope :) We are 3D artists, who spent the last two years working hard together with designer teams and Celebrity marketing team to flash out the Solstice ship on the screens of your computers and on the pages of magazines and brochures. We really enjoyed "picturing" our model because she is beautiful. Don't you agree? :)
Just watch, listen, and compare:

Story of a Green Fellow from ZBrush



The frog was born in a fierce discussion: what frog is the cutest one. Tree frog won the prize and the work on its creation began.

In order to do anything I had to look through a pile of different materials, the most useful being tutorial dvd’s from Gnomone workshop.
First, I tried to model in Z-Brush with the help of a computer mouse. It was a real pain. I can remember my happiness when I got hold of a Stylus and speeded the work with it. Thanks to its sensitivity to pressure modeling became a real fun.
This inspired me and I continued working with rendering settings, lighting, camera and postproduction.

A few weeks of work and the little green creature is looking at me with its wet frog eyes. And it is not alone - the second prize in ZBrush contest is its company J

Architectural 3D Renderings


Photorealistic 3D renderings are perfect marketing materials representing a pre-construcion building. They make your presentations bright; they substantiate your portfolios; they materialize your designs on the pages of magazines; they serve as a welcoming sign on your websites.
Architect, designer or builer - whoever you are - display cozy apartments, deluxe office interiors, luxurious restaurant halls, sleek hotel suits by means of photorealistic 3D visuals. Choose an appropriate view that meets your needs:

perspective to grasp the set-up top-view to get the whole picture


And 360 degree panoramic rendering will help to scrutinize all the venue round.


Exhibit the exterior of a country house, the façade of a new office, front elevation of a condo, or just cast a glance at a ship lying at anchor.



Have aerial view renderings done for you to see a place from a bird’s view.


Take a look at a city after a new construction completion. Observe it as if flying over in a plane to view the site over.


Each rendering not only depicts a yet nonexistent place, it fleshes it out. Experienced 3D artists pay attention to every detail of the image. Each color and its shades are carefully calculated. Polished background contributes to staging true-to-life scenes. Thanks to the elaborate reproduction of lighting one can hardly tell a 3D rendering from an authentic photo. Such minute details as a cup of coffee waiting for you on the table or flock of birds flying over add up to the terrific impression. To crown it all you may choose to showcase the site either by daylight or in the last glow of sunset.

11 venues for 10 days


Curiously enough, the most urgent project turned out to be one of the most beautiful. I mean Oasis Palmilla, visualization and animation of a well-known hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico, which was done for RTKL Associates Inc.

Project in a nutshell:
  • 11 different interiors - bedrooms, bathrooms, living-rooms, dining room, spa, verandas, restaurants, reception, and various lounge rooms – complex visualization of a luxurious hotel. On top of that, the renderings were meant for printing and needed to have high resolution.
  • Interior animation of one of the luxurious suites.


The project began as usually: one morning a new request from our respected client was received. We were glad to start work on these visuals as they were extraordinary and exciting, interiors were in colonial style with lots of wood, ceramics, luxury fabrics, contrasting colors. At that time it was a godsend since we were tired of common white walls and ceilings.



But our happiness broke up soon, the smiles left our faces and we hanged the heads after we heard about the deadline:"We need all the images ready in the middle of the next week! The presentation is on Wednesday!"

The term was fixed: no postpones, no delays. Just 10 days including week-ends, and a couple of intermediate deliveries for one venue. And there were only 4 artists available.Most possibly the request would have been denied. But not by Vayersoft. We believe anything is feasible as soon as you have an interesting project, if you envisage textures and lightening beforehand, if you can visualize the result. Huge amount of work was done in a burst of inspiration.



It was the project Oasis Palmilla. We came up with nice 3D visuals, vivid impressions, and pride for the work done.
