ELKAY | ’19-’22 – Joshua Drouillard

WELCOME!

Below is a list of projects that represent the diversity of rendering tasks I’ve had the privilege of working on within my time at ELKAY Manufacturing as a 3D Artist.

MODELING ROOM SCENES

The bulk of my time at ELKAY is spent creating full room scenes to showcase our products in. All scenes are modeled in 3DS Max and rendered using the Corona rendering engine.

This scene is currently being used as the primary image for ELKAY’s SmartWell product landing page.

I design all scenes for re-use, thus they require some amount of planned modularity, as seen below.

This bathroom scene started as a simple public restroom.

I later renovated the style of the scene with new materials, propping, and lighting.

I adapted the commercial bathroom to a residential space for use in Elkay’s 2020 Residential Price Guide.

EFFICIENT WORKLOWS FOR WATER

Rendering realistic water is an essential skill at Elkay, and I’ve developed a few tricks so it doesn’t have to be a time sink.

This image was made by modeling the water stream in 3DS Max using a combination of modifiers including noise, taper and bend.

Here is a breakdown of one project where I used a fluid simulation to make water react realistically to the surface of the sink.

This animation was made to highlight the “water deck” feature on the sink, which helps direct the flow of water.

MATCHING MATERIALS

Elkay manufactures a large diversity of stainless steel products, many with a distinct look that demand a custom crafted material in 3DS Max.

This drain SKU has a brushed metal finish.

Here is the same drain, installed in a stainless steel sink.

This drain SKU has a mirror-like chrome finish.

Here is the same drain, installed in a quartz sink.

Thank you for taking the time to review my work!
