Kalamis Liman Restaurant: A Realistic Dining Experience

An Animated Presentation by Ayhan Guneri Architects

The Kalamis Liman Restaurant project was a labor of love, taking 10 days to complete the modeling phase of the 1600 square foot space. The 64-second animation was meticulously rendered over 800 hours, ensuring every detail was captured with precision. To bring the project to life, the team utilized industry-leading software such as 3dsmax and v-ray, along with a powerful xeon 16-core 48 GB RAM Dell workstation.

One of the unique aspects of the Kalamis Liman Restaurant animation is its attention to detail. Each space within the restaurant was meticulously visualized to appear as realistic as possible. The team analyzed photographs and films of the actual spaces to ensure accuracy and authenticity. From the lighting to the furniture, every element was carefully crafted to create a truly immersive experience.

Despite the complexity of the project, the team faced several challenges along the way. They aimed to generate the spaces with the fewest possible polygons, ensuring optimal rendering times. Additionally, accessories and details were added to enhance the realism of the restaurant, but this extended the rendering time for the thousands of frames. However, the team's dedication and expertise ultimately resulted in a stunning final product.

The Kalamis Liman Restaurant animation showcases the beauty and elegance of the design, allowing viewers to experience the space before it was even built. The attention to detail, realistic rendering, and innovative use of technology make this project a true standout in the world of interior design and animation.

For their exceptional work on the Kalamis Liman Restaurant animation, Ayhan Guneri Architects were awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in the Movie, Video, and Animation Design category in 2014. This award recognizes their commitment to creating well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Kalamis Liman Restaurant animation is a testament to their talent and dedication to pushing the boundaries of design and technology.
