Ban Center Living (3ds Max, V-Ray, ForestPack) Rendered in V-Ray, this project focuses on an apartment located in Ban Centar, a luxury development in the historic centre of Zagreb

Project 1 (3ds Max, Vray, ForestPack, Marvelous Designer) This was Studio Niskota’s first personal project, exploring the theme of a predominantly white interior, to see what effects can be achieved simply by varying the texture and material properties of objects. The penguin was added in post Mountain House (3ds Max, Corona, ForestPack, Thinkbox Frost) In this scene, the snowy environment gave the Studio Niskota team a chance to try out a ‘no post-work’ approach, exploring the atmospheric effects that can be achieved in a raw render. The footsteps in the snow are generated at render time, instead of being physically modelled in the scene
