INFORMATION Client: MonIberic Interior Design and Art Direction: ExtraBonus CG: Alex Ruano I don’t usually show my professional works, but I will make another exception here (2nd in a row). This is one of my latest projects: a special concept of Spanish delicatessen + coffee shop. A place where you can buy 200 gr. of Serrano ham, and have a coffee or a beer at the same time (or you can order it to go). I think

This is something I’ve been working on my spare time (I don’t even remember when I started working on it xD). The house itself is a project from Francisco José Díaz Gallego Arquitect Studio, but the environment is totally made up by me. As I normally do with my personal scenes, I’ve used it in order to learn, to push myself and improve my skills. Amongst the challenges I’ve faced are: nature e

Quick project I’ve finished these days, based on a basic design by JoyCG & Eva Gilar (she’s the “Fairy”). A useful collaboration in which we have hopefully learned something and/or improved our skills. As usual, 3dsmax, VRay, Marvelous Designer, eyeon Fusion & Motiva RealStereo for the anaglyph version. (Click on the images for a hi-res version)

These are some props I’m currently working on, (or just improving), for several shots of my Demoreel. I hope I will live long enough to see it finished someday   😕 Some of them are animated gifs, so click on them to see in action.

Hi! (in case there’s someone reading). This is a small project I finished last Christmas in order to test several techniques, tips and render engines. For now, this is the VRay version (Thea Render version soon to come, I hope)  😎 Other things I practiced were: modeling hard surfaces (which I’m not used to), playing with Marvelous Designer, adding extra detail to the edges of surfaces, following a tutoria

Well, here I am with some R&D. In fact, it’s not even my own R&D, but my friends’ at MotivaCG. They’ve developed an incredible composition plugin for The Foundry Nuke & eyeon Fusion (and whatever composition software that handles OFX format). With it, based on an UNIQUE image, and using its Depth-Of-Field channel, you can get stereoscopic images such as this. I know, you can get this result using several

Here you’ll find a preview of some props from the personal projects I’m currently working on, (or just improving), for several shots of my Demoreel. It is my intention to publish them as a “Finish this once and for all !!!” note to myself. This gallery will be updated as I work on the reel.  

Recently we have finished a videoart piece called Landwine: Captured Nature. It’s a collaborative and creative project betweeen A+i+D Studio (headed by the artist Alfonso Doncel), writer Antonio Sáez Delgado, and The Glow / Claroscuro Digital. It explores the meaning of beauty by relocation. What is beauty? What is art? Can we call something “art” just by moving it from its place and putting it some

After delivering this project for a client with a “clear-blue-sky-shiny-day” finish, I decided to work on the lighting & atmosphere, getting these results. Much better than the version the client wanted, in my humble opinion.

Frames of an animation we did at Claroscuro Digital / The Glow for Romanticism Route in Almendralejo, Badajoz, Spain.  

I tend to use my personal projects as an experiment to learn new methods, techniques I still don’t fully understand, or to improve my skills. In this case, the goal was to recreate a photograph I took in 2003, with a 1-megapixel digital camera (not much quality, as you guess). Such place had “something” that inspired me and the photograph had a lighting that I really liked. Unfortunately, the project spent some years

Well, I think every image has its own story behind. So this is the story for my dungeon: Well, I work at home. And my family & friends call my office “The Cave” or “The Dungeon”. And the idea came from that. So I tried to mix both concepts. No matter how cool our office is, or how much do we love our work. All of us feel chained to it, sometimes. All of us have our own prisoner ball (mine
