3ds Max render farm

Our software integrates with Autodesk 3ds Max and connects you with the farm through a simple plugin. It checks the settings, gathers assets, packs the project, and uploads it over to the farm with an ease of a single click. Features such as automated scene versioning, asset syncing, and support for external plugins make the rendering a breeze.

ZOA3D – Architectural Animation and Visualization

Software: 3ds Max | Corona

There are numerous companies and freelancers out there that do architectural visualizations. Many of them do an outstanding work creating quality imagery. It’s not easy to break out and distinguish yourself from the crowd. ZOA3D’s approach to creating stunning architectural work is focusing on both top quality design and art. Their secret lies in storytelling, and their ability to use creativity to convey the story in ways that please the eye, astonish, and leave you with a sense of wonder. Andras, one of the co-founders of ZOA3D, says that creating a work environment and team dynamics that allow creativity to flourish is key to their success. We talked with Andras about emerging technologies in ArchViz, ZOA’s future, and his advice to new CG artists among many other things.
