2024 has already ushered in a stack of new scenes, materials, and even a completely new product category: Backplates.
As a mid-year review, our team has looked back on the releases thus far, curating a mix of customer favourites and staff picks which launched this year.
ID Essentials
Our 2024-refreshed ID Materials Bundle, Hand Elements and Hanyoung Lee's STRIX Studio make a powerful trio for product renders.
Stole the show
The Procedural Wood Pack changed the game for wood renders in KeyShot, opening doors to new levels of realism. The launch post was our most popular on Instagram this year and the customer response reflected the hype.
Most Popular Interior
A stunning living, kitchen, dining and bedroom scene.
Arboreal Retreat
This large open plan interior provides the perfect one-stop shop for scandi-style interior renders. With a built in kitchen, decorated dining table, cornered lounge, and mezzanine style bedroom, you'll never run out of ways to utilise this scene.
Please note: The Arboreal House can demand a lot of video memory in GPU Mode. We have included the option to remove the trees if they're not needed for the shot, which does reduce VRAM usage. We advise 8GB VRAM (ideally 10 or more) to run this in GPU mode.
Staff Picks
Visune's Studio, Interior and Material Lead pick out their favourite releases from 2024 thus far.Beam Studio
"This scene from our Dan Valentine collaboration is beautifully simple but took hours to dial in. The extra effort in using geometry and physical lights paid dividends, and Dan's design was the perfect fit to demonstrate it's potential. I often use this as a start point for personal projects."
Contemporary House
"With this interior, our goal was to prioritise simplicity and realism, focusing on detailed modelling of the structure and furnishings. We introduced new techniques, including cloth simulation, to enhance realism. This kept the large project stimulating to work on."
Packaging Pack
"Our focus has always been to balance photo-realism and ease of use. With the packaging pack, we utlised both PBR and procedural textures, applying lessons learnt from the Bouclé pack to create my personal favourite closed cell foam, and our PBR knowledge to create realistic corrugated card."
