20 Architectural Renderings that stand out from the crowd

- posted in Inspiration

 

Due to the fact that high end rendering technology is becoming more and more accessible and the number of people interested in architectural visualization is growing rapidly, the quality level of architectural renderings has dramatically increased during the last years.

When Brazil and V-Ray engines first appeared, using global illumination in a rendering was enough to make it look photorealistic and differentiated itself from the competition.

Nowadays one has to go to great lengths if extreme photorealism is the main focus (Check out the post that featured some of the most realistic architectural renderings I have ever seen).

With that in mind, I have compiled a list of 20 renderings which I consider to be original; some of them have great composition, others use a wonderful chromatic palette, but all of them stand out in one way or another and can be considered art, not just commercial work.

11 most realistic renderings you have ever seen

- posted in Inspiration

Following the positive feedback of the previous “20 Amazing Night Exterior Renderings” article, I have compiled a list of 11 most realistic renderings I have ever seen. Some of them are new, and some of them are really old (one even dates back to year 2000) but I can’t believe how real they all look.

Not all the renderings in the list bellow could work as arch viz commercial work, but that wasn’t a selection factor. The main thing that I have looked for while compiling the list was the extreme level of realism. However, I have only focused on scene renderings and avoided characters, vehicles and similar stuff.
It is important to mention that all the renderings bellow are entirely computer generated. No photo cutouts were used in any of them.
The renderings aren’t listed in a particular order, and each of them is linked to the author’s website.
If you have seen other renderings that you think would fit in this list, please post a link to it in the comments form.

20 Amazing Night Exterior Renderings

- posted in Inspiration

The purpose of an architectural illustrator is to produce visuals that not only accurately represent a building that will be developed but also trigger emotions in the minds of the viewers and ultimately determine them to buy a property there. A building itself may not be the best from an architectural point of view, but a good visualizer can make it look appealing by enhancing certain features or by “telling a story” with an image and make viewers dream about a certain lifestyle.

Night renderings, if done right, are more likely to grab the attention of potential clients for a number of reasons; they are more spectacular, vibrant  and rich in color, they “sell” not only a building but a lifestyle, and last but not least they aren’t as common as  “standard” daytime renderings because they are a little more difficult to produce.

Bellow is a list of 20 night exterior renderings that I like very much and that may serve as an inspiration source.
