Show Notes

Third times a charm. For episode 3 we had the pleasure of speaking to Architectural Visualizer Mike Golden, aka Droquis. Mike is a brilliant 3D artist who not only creates beautiful architectural renderings, but masterfully renders gorgeous Sci-fi landscapes that combine a variety of different digital techniques and programs. 

In this episode we discuss everything from the benefits of working in black and white vs color, to Cezanne to the magic of Blender (open-source software is the coolest). 

Mike dropped several different books and videos, which are listed below in case you want to check them out yourself. We hope you enjoy this episode.
