WHAT WERE THE MAIN CHALLENGES AND

SUCCESSES YOU FACED DURING THE

COMPLETION OF THE PROJECT?

I look for a small challenge in every project,

something I don’t know how to do, and, in this

project it was the smoke.

On a previous project I had used the liquid

simulator. In the design world, if you stop learning,

you get left behind.

DO YOU CONSIDER THERUN RUN RUN!

PROJECT A SUCCESS?

Thanks to this project, various ad agencies have

a good scene. This testing phase normally takes
me a long time, but it is worth it and it is one of my
favourite parts of the process.
When it’s time to do the rendering, I like to use
many separate layers, the shading in one layer, the
reflections in another, and so on, as this gives me
the ability to play a lot with the final result.
Then, I open everything in Photoshop and I spend
hours touching up the images and adding
improvements. I like to use adjustment layers with
masks and special brushes to add things like smoke
or particles to the image, for example. I also erase
any small imperfections that the 3D may have.

gotten in touch with me to do several similar

projects. So, I am very happy about that. If I had

it to do over again, I would do it much faster.

I do personal projects in my free time and it

can take me weeks to finish each one.

CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT WHERE

YOU AIM TO BE IN THE FUTURE?

I would like to continue working as I do now. The

design world is tough and I am happy to be

doing what I do, but I would like to have more

time for personal projects, which are the ones I

enjoy the most.

“I add little details with artistic Photoshop paintbrushes to give it the smooth look of a traditional drawing”

“I used Photoshop to add extra smoke here that wasn’t in the original rendering”

“I like to use Photoshop to add photographic effects to the renderings, for example, this glow in the bright areas”
