The Brick Library

Sean diVicenzo, a designer and a draftsman, sent some very interesting images on the Abvent's gallery. He kindly explained us how he conceived a library and music room for a private client in Arizona, all modeled with Google Sketch Up and rendered with Artlantis. These renderings reflect a very nice atmosphere made of wood, copper and glass... The complete user story is published on Artlantis website.You can also see the whole project, and more, on Lone Wolf Designs website
