Making Of Chalet Rustique Eden Park

Lighting? Mood board? Framing? We're sure these terms mean something to you, right? And 3D modeling? A complex and delicate process that we're going to reveal to you while trying to simplify the codes inherent to the profession. The goal? To share our passion with you and give you a behind-the-scenes look at our profession - high-end 3D visualization. For this first Making of, we've chosen to present a project entrusted to us by a French developer renowned for its high-quality programs – an 80 m² apartment located near Megève in the French Alps. So, let's get started!

Step 1 Modeling

An accepted offer = a project under way! As soon as we received the plans from the client, our graphic designers were able to begin the modeling phase, in other words, the creation of volume. This creation, like any other, has its own particularities that made it unique. For this project, everything was modeled from 2D plans, which requires a little more time compared to a file containing a 3D model provided by the architect.
Given Since the room is located in the attic on the top floor of the chalet, our graphic designers were tasked with carefully crafting all the exposed beams.

Step 2 Choosing the Framing

Once the modeling phase was complete, we offered our client several framing options. The camera was placed at eye level with a standard focal length to create a realistic image and avoid distorting perspectives. As we can see above, the first framing allows us to highlight the kitchen area with the countertop in the foreground. The second is more architectural. The third offers an overview of the room, while the fourth framing is a variation of the third.
To provide a perspective that would best enhance the volumes, we suggested the third viewpoint, which highlights the living room and gives a brighter ambiance to the space.

Step 3  Materials and Lighting

Now it’s time for the selection of furniture. For this winter project, we chose a Scandinavian-inspired decoration that brings a Nordic and cozy atmosphere to the space. The creativity of our graphic designers led them to advise the client on a few changes regarding the furniture layout. The goal of these additional suggestions was to deliver a 3D rendering consistent with the project’s overall context.
For example, the originally planned two-seater sofa was replaced by an L-shaped couch. The mountain spirit is reinforced by the chosen materials: wool curtains and the strong presence of raw materials. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a warm atmosphere and an authentic charm for this apartment.
Our graphic designers prescribed designer pieces such as Flos Aim pendant lights, the B&B Nix table, and an Oliver Gral painting.
Each preview comes to life thanks to a crucial element in 3D rendering — lighting. For this project, we opted for a cold ambiance outside and a warm feeling inside. This contrast created a strong luminous impact, highlighting the volumes.

We arrive at the very last phase, the result of work mastered down to the smallest detail. The harmonious combination of different elements, the proposal of a resolutely contemporary decor, as well as subtly worked lighting allow for an ultra-realistic preview of the project.
