Meditative

“The Golden Location” is a fascinating 3D animation set in a vibrant autumn landscape, where the golden hues of nature dominate the scenery. The scene unfolds with two imposing statues, bathed in warm tones of yellow and orange, standing amidst the foliage.

The viewer is drawn deeper into the scene, captivated by the intricate details of the statues and the rich tapestry of autumnal colors that surrounds them.

The statues give the impression of solemnly watching over the earth, their presence evoking a sense of respect for the cycle of nature.

Florian Renaux

Belgium

Based in Belgium, Florian Renaux is a visionary artist who meticulously crafts stunning worlds, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Trained at the University of Liège, his artistic journey began as a 2D graphic designer, where he honed his skills and laid the groundwork for his future projects. In 2020, he embarked on a new chapter, diving into 3D art and beginning his self-taught training through online courses. For several years, he devoted himself to mastering his tools, meticulously sculpting and refining his distinctive aesthetic until he forged a unique universe brimming with captivating imaginary landscapes and supernatural wonders. Through his works, which blend nature and fantasy, he creates immersive digital worlds on the border between reality and dreams. He possesses a remarkable ability to transport the mind to unexpected dimensions, offering a sanctuary where the imagination can flourish unhindered.

A freelancer for several years, Florian has created visuals for music groups and collaborated with studios on the plant design for architectural visualizations, applying his eye for naturalistic detail to a variety of projects. Building on this expertise, he has established himself as a content creator on social media, where he shares his 3D natural environments with a community of nearly 100,000 people. Eager to pass on his expertise, he has developed his own online courses, providing step-by-step guidance to creators around the world on how to build animated scenes.

More on digital art

Generative art

Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.

AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.

3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.

Photogrammetry

Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.

Collage

An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.

Illustration

Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.

Video

Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
