Over the last several months Ron Arad Architects have been designing a cancer treatment centre in north east Israel that will serve Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Druze communities in both Israel and Palestine.

Whitaker Studio crafted these four images for Ron in preparation of the project’s public launch this week.

You can read more about the project on Dezeen.

Green Screen Trickery by James Whitaker

At the start of September I spent some time in Cloud & Horse’s photo studios shooting with actress Jennifer Dawn-Williams. The shoot had been meticulously planned to allow the resulting photographs of Jennifer to be blended seamlessly with computer generated images of a penthouse apartment in Tokyo.

With the photographs taken they were then composited in Photoshop to achieve the stills that I wanted and this video shows a quick breakdown of that process.

The complete set of images can be seen on my website.

Here are 3 brand new images of the Tokyo penthouse that I was working on earlier in the summer. You can see the complete set of images on my website here.

I will try to post soon a short animation of the post production layering of the images.

The High Life

A new series of images of a Tokyo penthouse.

The model has been built in 3DS Max with the towers in the foreground being created using Itoo Software’s railclone and forest pack. You can see a tutorial for populating the floors of the towers here.

Furniture and props have come from a variety of sources. The books are nearly all from model+model and distributed using their excellent Bookmanager plugin. The rug in the living space is Paul Smith Carnival created with Vray Hair.

The Tokyo skyline is from photographs taken from CGTextures and applied as a VRay Light material with the sky masked out. The scene is then illuminated with Peter Guthrie’s 0707 sky.
