Architectural rendering,is the art of creating two-dimensional images or animations showing the attributes of a proposed architectural design. Images that are generated by a computer using three-dimensional modeling software or other computer software for presentation purposes are commonly termed "Computer Generated Renderings". Some methods create simple flat images or images with basic shadows.
A popular technique uses sophisticated software to approximate accurate lighting and materials. This technique is often referred to as a "Photo Real" rendering. Renderings are usually created for presentation, marketing and design analysis purposes.
• Still renderings
• 3D Walk through and fly by animations (movie)
• Virtual Tours
• Floor Plans
• Photo realistic 3D Rendering
• Realtime 3D Renderings
• Panoramic Renderings
• Light and Shadow (sciography) study renderings
• Renovation Renderings (photomontage)
• and others
3D renderings play a major role in real estate sales. It also makes it possible to make design related decisions well before the building is actually built. Thus it helps experimenting with building design and its visual aspects.
