"BR-52 Steam locomotive"
By Bartek Muczyn 
I'm presenting a personal project. I had a lot of fun making it. The project was quite challenging and time-consuming, especially unwrapping. What you can see is full 3d, except cutout people. There is a ton of forestpacks, some railclone objects. I did not want to take any shortcuts, so no cheating using AI enhancers, no matte painting, only 3d stuff.
The locomotive and tender have been split into 6 UDIM tiles for best texture quality. Texturing done in Adobe 3D Painter, 6 textures at 8K each.
Fumes and steam simulated in Embergen, rendered as VDB in 3ds Max + V-Ray.
Post-production done in Affinity.
"Villa N"
By Delighting Pictures
Some visuals for Villa N, designed by the Common Architecture studio. Villa N created with serene volumes, honest materials and architecture guided by light and time, the interiors are organized as a sequence of fluid and luminous spaces, where the living room, dining room and relaxation areas are connected without rigid boundaries. Natural light flows through each room, revealing warm textures, soft shadows and a sheltering atmosphere.
"Maison Cheval Schinousa"
By Kostas Tsilivis
I’m excited to introduce Maison Cheval on the beautiful Greek island of Schinousa, a project I truly enjoyed working on with Aristides Dallas Architects.
Maison Cheval is conceived as architecture grown from the earth, shaped by the island’s flowing topography of stone walls, winding paths, and coves where land meets sea. The design listens closely to the landscape, seeking a structure that truly belongs there. Inspired by the poised strength of a horse — the cheval — Aristides Dallas Architects imagined a form that stands calmly within the terrain, leaving only a light, harmonious trace upon it.
Architecture & Design: Aristides Dallas Architects
Software used: 3dsmax, Corona Renderer, Itoo Forest Pack, Quixel Megascans, Magnific, Adobe Photoshop
"Arctica"
By Romain Brunas
Technical summary of your tropical floating city concept at the North Pole:
1. General Structure Floating city with partially submerged buildings and floating platforms for vegetation. Above-water sections: residential areas and tropical zones (palms, gardens). Submerged sections: thermal system for heat storage and redistribution.
2. Thermal Management Primary heat source: solar radiation absorbed by the above-water surfaces and/or solar concentrators. Heat storage: water or thermal fluid in the submerged section, used to warm habitats and vegetation platforms. Heat redistribution: stored heat can be released at night or during low-sunlight periods.
3. Floating Vegetation Platforms Insulated platforms for palms and tropical plants.
4. Technical Considerations Structural resistance to ice, storms, and extreme temperature variations. Optimization of solar exposure for maximum heat capture. Energy management to compensate for polar night (thermal storage or auxiliary heat sources).
5. Objective Create a tropical microclimate in a polar environment, ensuring comfort for residents and lush vegetation, while using submerged structures to maximize energy efficiency.
On December 25, 2048, at exactly 11:45 p.m., the thermal exchanger of Tower 5, located on Block 7, experienced a minor overheating event. Although the technical incident was quickly brought under control, it triggered an unexpected response: the safety systems activated an intense red illumination that pierced the night sky. For a brief moment, the tower stood like a crimson beacon in the darkness, drawing attention and stirring concern among nearby observers before thermal parameters returned to normal.
Excerpt from Numa B.’s Journal — 2047, August 10, 78th Parallel North
I prefer to observe it from afar — like watching a dream one fears to shatter with a single, too‑abrupt movement.
Tonight, the sky has taken on a smoky gold hue, a luminous veil softening the sea until it looks like liquid metal. And in this strange light, the city finally appears in its entirety. No longer a mirage, but a presence.
It rises before me on the horizon, like a line of towering spires emerging from an improbable tropical forest. The buildings stretch straight toward the sky, with the appearance of gigantic, almost mechanical organs. Around them, the silhouettes of palm trees form a dark, motionless fringe, like a garden suspended between two worlds.
I float in my small kayak, carried by a surprisingly calm sea.
Ahead of me, a seaplane passes slowly, almost silently, its floats gleaming in the light.
I am alone here, at a safe distance, yet the city seems to be watching me.
I see no human movement, no figures on the platforms, yet everything breathes. The sea warms slightly at this impossibly high latitude. The vertical columns emit a fine, diffuse glow, as if they filter the daylight and release its softest essence.
The islets float in absolute calm.
Their reflection stretches across the golden water, irregular, almost liquid. It feels as if witnessing the birth of a world — a world that did not exist yesterday.
Tonight, it is perfect from here.
"Park in Kakheti"
By Irakli Shubashikeli
Architect: David Varvaridze
I’m closing this creative year with this project —
a park located in the heart of Kakheti, thoughtfully integrated into the natural landscape, designed to evoke a sense of calm, openness, and harmony.
This project is especially meaningful to me as it marks my final work of 2025 — a year filled with growth, challenges, inspiration, and valuable experience.
I would like to sincerely thank all my colleagues, friends, and creative partners for your support, trust, and motivation throughout the year.
"DIUS 2"
By Ilya Galinsky
3D modeling, visualization and 3D design
Software | 3ds Max, Corona Renderer, Adobe Photoshop CC, Forest Pack, RailClone
Year: 12/2025
The visualization represents a preliminary version of the concept.
"Butter Bakery"
By Ulfat Ata K
I’d like to share with you this project: Butter Bakery café and bakery in Riyadh, where the concept is to create a bakery that reflects the identity of the brand, celebrating the craft of traditional baking while offering the customers a new and modern experience.
I completed the project in February. At that time, there was no straightforward option to add people into finished renders by AI, so I used characters from the Chaos Cosmos library and enhanced them using Krea.
However, things evolved later, so I needed to make a second round of enhancements: I used Magnific to refine the hair and skin. Then, because I don’t have Nano Banana in Photoshop, I adjusted the poses and hairstyles slightly and made the people interact more naturally and emotionally with each other using Nano Banana in Gemini.
Magnific also helped enhance food and plants, similarly to Krea, while also improving some materials slightly.
"Kitchen Interior"
By Anh Le
"Cosmos Challenge"
By Ivan Mihalj
Asian inspired garden pavilion. Every detail, from the carved woodwork to the koi pond reflections is designed to evoke balance, serenity, and timeless beauty. No AI used in this project!
