Well it appears that this has been a work in progress for many months (maybe years), and that our 3D guru Alex Roman actually uses a pseudonym for publishing public works. There is quite a nice interview, complete with screen caps of his model wireframes and finished renders, and some explanation of how he created this amazing work, at autodesk.com.
But probably the biggest point of interest for 3D artists who want to follow in Alex’ footsteps, is that if you use Cinema 4D (which is generally a much more friendly application than 3DS Max), you can take advantage of the amazing Vray rendering technology just as 3DS and Maya users can. There is a plugin called VrayforC4D that is available for C4D R11, and R10.x. The latest is version 1.1, and it is a little pricey (over $1000US) but the plugin has been tightly integrated with the Cinema UI and makes it very easy to use in your workflow. Version 1.2, which will be the version that supports C4D R11.5, should be out in the near future I’m hoping. Gotta start saving some pennies for this as architectural photography is a big part of what I do.
