Bertrand raises the bar, yet again.

I'm sure those of you that are into arch-viz will be well aware of Bertrand Benoit and the stunning works he produces, but for those of you that aren't into arch-viz firstly why are you here? and secondly check him out:

This latest set of images of his is stunning, not to detract from any of the other stunning images he's produced in the past - but the subtle details that lurk in every corner of the image are something to behold. Even the sub-surface-scattering effect that is visible on the fireplace is perfect, something I've yet to achieve with SSS.

Now if only Benjamin Brosdau would start a blog too...

Arghh!

So, after 8 consecutive "blue screen of deaths" my work pc appears to have given up, right on time for an enormous deadline on some competition work. I'm now working on a tin-pot i3 machine until my workstation is fixed or replaced.

Lovely.
