Travis Schmiesing

love your work travis specially this one

great job. I love the detail shot.

congrats travis! I've been a fan of this style, attempted a few myself. but what is amazing about your work is that you manage to capture the watercolour feel without a lineworks overlay (which are very discerning in the works of dennis alain). I don't mind the vertical lines, it adds to the subtlety. a making-of perhaps.

Very Cool NPR work. I would like to see the interiors. I especially like the post work you did with the landscaping. Vince

Its about time you submit an image, and about time you got Viz of week. Congrats man...< way to go out on a high note :P >

Great work, I really like the NPR style!

Wow. Really nice! :)

Congrats Travis on Viz Pro of the Week!! I hadn't heard about you leaving HOK..where to next??

Congratulations Travis! Grat to see your work featured. I am really enjoying the quality of light across the many nooks and crannies at various depths within the image.

Nice work Travis. I really like the watercolor effect, althought I think sometimes it degrades the work someone did until render. Anyway, it's really nice! I would like to ask about the vegetation. You added all of them with Photoshop? I like the vegetation that looks like cobs (?) in the right side of first jpg. One last question: did you use hdri to light your scene? Thanks, Viktoria.

Very nice indeed, I like the artistic style!

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]@Daniel[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Thanks. The trees are mostly from a 2d RPC collection, including the palms that are cut off at the point where their palms spring from the trunk. The lower bushes and tall palms are Onyx. The grass is digital comp’s from a photo of wild grasses outside the SF federal building. So not so much reference imagery as composited imagery.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]@Matthieu [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]I worked with HOK's SF Design Director on these images. He has always been really appreciative of this style of work.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]@James[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Thanks. I actually did a mini jig. I really did.[/FONT][/COLOR]

Very nice Travis, a good refreshing image for the eyes... congratulations on viz pro of the week. :)

Nice renders Travis, great work, did the client ask for that NPR style or you just went on that way by yourself ? very interesting and nice way to speedup all the process i guess, just a rought 3d render without fine tuning too much materials, and rendering parameters...for a very well done result !

Looks terrific Travis. I wish clients would ask for this type of image more often. What type of reference images did you use to photoshop in the vegetation in PS? Nice job and best of luck with whatever your new job you have acquired.

@Frosty I was recalling from memory some of Dennis Allain's work where he had a vertical striations throughout his image. Or at least that is what I thought I was referencing. Looking at his work now, I think my memory made those striations about 20 times stronger than they actually are. If you look closely, you can see faint vertical orientations in the closeups. Definitely not the string jarring ones that I have. I don't dislike them, but I should have had a second set of eyes on the paper texture before submitting the final. While I did work with the Los Angeles office on a handful of projects, I did not have the opportunity to work with Jane. Friday marked my final day with HOK, so I am not sure our paths will cross in the future. @Randy Thank you! @Dimityr Thank you Dimitry. Looking forward to the next meet up for cocktails. :cool:

Hi, Travis. Very artistic work. Nice to see something new

Quality stuff right there.

Very nice Travis. Not sure I like the fake canvas look, but the NPR work is great. The architecture is pretty sweet too. Do you Know Jane Skulmoski at HOK? I think she's in LA. She's a friend of mine from design school.

@Justin Hunt I agree with you on that the detail shot looks better. At original resolution (4000x1887) the overall looked nice, but when the resolution was dropped to a web friendly format the detail started to disappear. Which was the reason for including the detail crop of the larger image. @Gavin Mcginty Thanks, and the original mattes are attached to this post for comparison.
