Reworked this render from Fawn Wilson to test the new Kling 2.0.

Pretty mind blowing how the character moved the chair as seamlessly as it did.

Prompt -

"An attractive and cheery woman enters the dining area from the left side of the frame. She walks gracefully toward the wooden table, pauses, and gently pulls out the nearest chair with both hands. She adjusts its position slightly, then smooths the surface of the table using a soft cloth in gentle, circular motions. Her movements are fluid and deliberate, with natural upper body shifts and smooth transitions between actions. Her hair and loose clothing react subtly to each motion, swaying slightly as she moves. The camera remains steady in a fixed third-person position, capturing the entire sequence from a clear side angle. Natural and realistic motion. There is a logo / watermark in the bottom right which isn't part of the scene and not something the woman should interact with"

I built a new upscale & enhance tool that runs entirely on Flux and crushes anything else I've tried as far as adding detail without altering the underlying image.🤓

I created a 360 panoramic tour of my latest interior project. I've also embedded 3D renders into the tour on the "main" locations if you click on "i" button.

First time trying this, so let me know what you think.

A few years ago I would have killed for this opportunity and killed myself to try to take it on. Saying no is a sign of growth.

I'm not a licensed Landscape Architect, but sometimes I play one on TV (my monitor) 😁

My job as a 3D Artist is to bring a render to life, while also depicting design intent for my clients. This usually means crafting real world accurate materials and shaders for a home's facade, but it also means making an exterior landscape feel more believable and the home itself, not so....naked.

This is where my decade of experience as a landscape designer and hardscape contractor can come in handy for Archviz projects. I can take what is an undesigned property layout and design something during rendering that feels more polished, in order to help the architect better sell their home design to a client, prior to the landscape architect designing the space.

Here is a look at the finished renderings for a project I did last year, compared to the raw home model as I received it. (Rendered in my same software without adjustment) You can see where I took the baton and used my experience and skill set to craft what feels like a more formally designed outdoor space in comparison to what I started with, forming a beautiful collaboration between architect and artist.

Check out a few of our renderings for the front of the 2025 Dream Home!

The front entry features large floating slab steps that elegantly traverse a modern koi pond, an oversized sand matrix concrete motor court framed by sleek pavers and striking black steel raised planters. Limestone pillars with a waterfall edge, black porcelain-clad walls, and bold limestone boulders complete the design. Let’s not forget the ultra-modern front entry gate with privacy fencing, a spacious multi-purpose sport court, lower level motor court, landscape lighting and so much more!!
