What Is Rendering
What is 3D
Architectural Rendering? 4 Types of 3D Architectural
Rendering
by Mike Thomas
To develop accurate building with proper interior
designs is not an easy task. This process has to pass
various phases. 3D Architectural Rendering is the most
popular technology being used widely by architects for
better interior designs. First of all main question is
what is 3D Architectural Rendering? It is art of
creating 3 Dimensional images or views to show attribute
of proposed architectural design. It allows user to
visualize future building designs on computers.
Imaginations have no ends and 3D architectural rendering
allow you to imagine your interior, exterior, floor plan
and product designs in many ways.
At the present time traditional 3D architectural
rendering provides virtual reality for proposed building
and generate quick outputs and results with maximum
accuracy as latest software like AutoCAD is available.
Many architectural firms are providing product rendering
to show 3D views of products. All architectural studios
are using this technology to attract clients, builders
and contractors. Just get more about it's various types
described below:
3D Interior Rendering:
3D Interior Rendering is most famous technology among
interior designing firms as it determines their success
in architectural industry. Using this technology
interior designers create 3D interior models for better
outputs. These 3D models contain each and every detail
of interior like furniture, textures, wall color,
lighting, wood paneling and wall papers. It provides you
complete idea of how your interior will look from
different angles. It used in variety of buildings like
residences, offices, shopping malls, hospitals and
universities.
3D Exterior Rendering:
Exterior look of building is also an important part and
that must be evaluated with accuracy. It this process
architects create 3D exterior models which includes
complete ideas of external lighting, wall colors,
shades, tree arrangements, parking, landscape and pools.
Exterior models allow you to change these arrangements
as per your requirements.
3D Floor Plan Rendering:
You must have to select floor designs that better suits
with your interior. Once floor design is constructed
then it makes high cost to change it. So to avoid this
problem architects have introduced 3D Floor Plan
Designs. Using this technique you can choose proper
flooring design in manner of color that best suitable
with other interiors.
3D Product Rendering:
It is used to create 3D views for products and at modern
time various business firms are using this technique to
promote their business. You can attract more customers
by using 3D Product Models.
What Is Rendering And What Are The Programs Used For
Computer Renderings?
by Tom Tripp
Rendering is the art of duplicating a model or reality
on paper or any other such similar medium as an image or
photograph or such other similar format. With the advent
of computers and its multifarious usage, the process of
rendering which used to be carried out by hand moved
onto the computer platform. With the number of available
programs used for computer renderings, the task itself
has become faster with greater versatility added to it.
The art of rendering itself is useful and used in a
variety of fields, like from architectural designs to
the field of movies and entertainment. While an
architect would use the process of rendering to depict
the layout of his proposed building site or the interior
designer to showcase his ability of doing up the
interior of the room, a movie director would use
rendering to simulate characters on the screen that make
his characters resemble human beings. The use of
rendering in computer based games needs no
amplification.
The most important aspect of rendering is the capability
to add the feature of depth to the rendered image. This
brings it closer to life state and giving a magical
effect to the image drawn otherwise on a 2D medium.
There is a number of software or programs that is now
available in the market for carrying out rendering jobs.
They however differ in method of usage depending on the
type of rendering task. For architecture, for example,
one would use the software called CAD while for
rendering characters to be used in a game there would be
some other rendering software more suitable.
Whatever be the case, all programs used for computer
renderings are based on the basic principle of a
mathematical model of the real life model being
manipulated for the sake of rendering it on a digital
format.
Programs used for computer renderings would not,
however, suffice for the complete job of either the
architect or the game or movie maker. There would be
many other processes that necessitate other experts and
expertise or maybe even software to complete the render
the entire project as complete.

What is 3DStudio Max?
3DStudio Max by Autodesk is a dynamic modeling and
rendering software suite for the Microsoft Windows
platform used by animators all around the world in the
creation of games, films, videos, architectural
renderings, and advertisements. The program is quite
muscular, allowing animators to work with thousands of
objects at a time in the scene.
The software has proven itself a powerful effects tool
in a wide range of motion pictures, including
Armageddon, The Green Mile, Mission Impossible II, Tomb
Raider, and Con Air. It was also used as a modeling and
animation tool in the creation of popular games
including Max Payne, Star Wars Starfighter, Spiderman:
The Movie Game, Halo, and Lord of the Rings: Fellowship
of the Ring.
The software offers a wide range of design tools used in
the animation industry today, including polygon modeling
features with pre-defined standard and extended
primitive sets. Its physics engine applies the forces of
nature to your animated models. 3DStudio Max also
provides scan-line rendering, mental ray rendering, and
architectural rendering, and it an be integrated with
popular animation software like RenderMan.
Autodesk claims that the new, eighth edition of the
software is faster than ever, providing instant visual
reviews of renderings without compromising time and cost
limitations. The user interface has also been redesigned
to handle large, complex animation scenes to allow
grouping, cloning, and other interactions with ease.
3DStudio Max has also been fitted to work seamlessly
with particle, texture, character, cartoon, landscape,
and other rendering plug-ins used throughout the
animation industry.

What is Maya?
Maya by Autodesk is the comprehensive, 3D animation
modeling and computer graphic image (CGI) creation
software used by the computer and console industry as
well as by Hollywood film, cartoon, and television
production studios. The software is released in a
animation design suite for professionals and students
and is based on an engine built in the C++ computer
language.
Maya has broad and practical applications in the
animation industry. For example, it was used in the
creation of the popular computer games Resident Evil,
Tomb Raider, and The Sims, and by the entertainment
industry for creating effects used in the popular
SouthPark, Futurama, and VeggieTales television shows.
The software contains a tool set that designers use in
creating key-path, frame, and nonlinear animations. Maya
also has tools that integrate with motion-capture,
skinning, deformers, and character sets common in
modeling for games and animated film and video.
Maya animators use the software for rendering effects
including lighting, shadows, textures, and paint
effects. Maya plug-ins yield instant effects from
simulator engines that create cloth, fur, smoke, fire,
hair, and more. Extensive libraries give animators a
wide palate of effects to draw from. Maya can also
seamlessly import plug-ins and complementary tools from
other illustration and design software.
Many animation schools provide fundamental Maya training
for use in the professions, while game and film
production studios often offer training on a modified
Maya or proprietary animation software built atop the
Maya infrastructure. The Maya suite has been produced in
versions compatible with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux
operating systems.

What is 3D Rendering?
The term "3D rendering" is the catchphrase for the
overall process by which animators use sophisticated
computer software to create an image from an artificial
model that has height, length, and depth. Animators can
use the rendering to develop a single human or cartoon
figure or object, and the rendering can also contribute
lighting, shadows, textures, and shading to the figure.
Once rendered, the object can be moved about along all
3D axes, allowing the animator to see it in complete
dimensions.
When you learn animation, rendering is typically the
final step in the pipeline of transformation of original
geometric objects into a 3D display. In the first step,
a model is created using primitive shapes. The shapes
can be captured from a live image or created by an
illustrator -- that is, by hand or by illustration
software.
In the second step, the animator uses rendering software
to manipulate the 2D image in overall size and camera
angle. You'll use detailed computer software to assign
complete dimensions to the object and thus determine how
it will be lighted and how it will retain proportions in
space.
The rendering stage involves tracing the original,
enabling the computerized transformation of the model,
using precise calculations to adjust the image as it is
manipulated. Rendering ads direct as well as indirect
illumination, reflections, shadows, motion blurs,
artistic or photorealistic morphing.
Perpective of a 3D (architectural) Rendering
by Mich Mchilly
3D rendering or photo-real rendering is a nomenclature
of producing an image based on three-dimensional data
stored within a computer. 3D rendering can be designed
to be abstract or as realistic as painting or
photograph. Unlike photography, however, everything is
imaginary and scenes need to be created. 3D Rendering
requires a lot of work usually boundless amount of
creative control over what may appear in the scene and
how it is graphically presented to achieve good results.
Before it could be done you first need to do the
Modeling or Animating process. It is said to be real
time because the computer makes the rendering without
delay time, at each movement or modification of the 3D
model.
The rendering and shading technology was first started
during 1960's by venerable designer William Fetter who
was attempting to devise a new process in order to
maximize the efficiency of the layout inside an airplane
cockpits. Over the years on the road of realism goes, 3D
rendering was re-develop to increase complexity of the
scene. It was called other names such as Gouraud Shading
Model, Phong Rendering and later on Ray Tracing name by
their developers until it was named 3D Rendering. I
personally like the euphony of the word 3D rendering
compared to the other names it was called.
The latest technology for photo realistic renderings
wade beyond basic ray tracing, through the stimulation
of technology, faster computers and a new birth of
talents photo realistic 3D rendering has been
ubiquitously used among artist.
Why 3D architectural rendering is a niche nowadays?
3D allows you to stimulate your creative horizons with
movement, depth and animation. Over the years companies
realize how to debouch the power of 3D visualization
adds tremendous value to their presentations and other
marketing campaigns, resulting to high volumes of sales
for their products and services. It is important to
heighten the awareness of what 3d can do for a
business's growth. In 3d architectural you can easily
presents your project/product in a turpitude or more
appealing form then gives you an edge over old mediums.
3D photo real renderings play major role in real estate
sales. Potential clients repose on the final product, so
in order to sell you project its bes to present it
realistically through 3d architectural rendering,
animation or walkthroughs.
Qualities Of A Good 3D Architectural Rendering?
3D Rendering is a great way to display your products or
ideas and deliver visual concepts ostentatiously to your
potential clients so it's important to know how to
achieve good rendering. Your ideas are translated in 3D
to create Photo-Perfect 3D images. The 3D rendering
artist must control all aspects of the scene such as
Texture, Lighting, Transparency, Getting the right
Angle, Detailed Model, and balance of Entourage in order
to create a perfect result.
Texture - a method by which you add details, where you
specify a color, a level of reflectivity and even a
degree of bumpiness to scene. Textures allow 3D models
to look significantly more detailed and realistic than
they would otherwise. In order to achieve a higher level
of realism make sure that the edges match closely to
your model, have a larger number of smaller polygons and
don't forget to to achieve good accuracy. Textures can
also be repeated horizontally and/or vertically across a
surface (with our without a degree of rotation), a
technique used extensively for modeling surfaces such as
brick walls, grass, roads, fences, etc. It can be
applied in two ways: either the texture replaces
whatever colour is already inherant to the polygon, or
the texture colour is blended with the colour and
surface properties of the polygon
Lighting - is an important aspect of scene setup in
making it look realistic, this is the process where you
create lightning sources to your environment, shade,
shadows and refections. Lighting effects can contribute
greatly to the mood and emotional response effected by a
scene and can be a difficult art to master. The
visualization of light in space, its effect on model
cubature and scenery, is one of the great challenges in
architectural rendering. The best bet to gain complete
control over your lights is to experiment,ignore
standard practices and investigate exactly how your
lighting instruments perform and react. A good lighting
means everything in the scene is brightly lit so you can
see every details.
Transparency - Transparency and light refraction within
a transparent material are the key parameters in order
to get a realistic rendering of a material like solid
glass. In creating your scene photo realistic put
simply, you can see shadows through your elements.
Getting the right Angle having the right angle is one of
the most important factor to consider, you have to make
sure the important views are viewable in the scene and
should not be distorted.
Detailed Models - Building models, is an extremely labor
intensive process, even more so than our 3D models. It
requires scrupulous attention to small details in order
to achieve perfection. Basically a 3D model is a
computer simulated wireframe representation of an
object. In creating a good 3d models you need a powerful
computer and processor to run most of the software. You
can then output your 3D model by rendering it. A process
that allows you to create a flat image of the model with
texture and lighting added to the model to complete your
work.
Balance of Entourage in order to create a realistic
rendering you need to populate your scene with people,
cars, landscaping, etc. The trick is to find the right
balance of elements, and avoid objects that are too
unusual or detailed no matter how appealing may seem.
Last but not the least if your aiming for perfections,
create a bit of imperfection to the edges of your scenes
such as floor tile, glass, dirt on the street and walls
to make it realistic.
What makes a Good Rendering?
* The true measure of good rendering is the ability to
accurately and persuasively depicts the client's ideas.
* Good rendering should capture details.
*Each is met with a fresh look, based upon extensive
experience with a diversity of media and building types,
to create a singular expression for each project.
* Has the benefit of making clear and accurate
presentations.
* It should be easy to understand, high impact and quick
to inspire architectural renderings which can
communicate about a proposed architectural design in the
best possible manner.
* Evocative works evolves from an open client-artist
dialogue which aims to create visage appearance that
faithfully reflect designers' and developers' intentions
and aspirations.
*Express the intangible emotional and spiritual
qualities architecture can possess.
3D architectural rendering brings new designs to virtual
life, allowing you to see everything in it's glory as
though it was already built. A renewed interest in
humanistic architecture has significantly enhanced the
value of architectural rendering as a means of linking
concept to reality.

An
architect should live as little in cities as a
painter. Send him to our hills, and let him
study there what nature understands by a
buttress, and what by a dome.
John Ruskin
Architect. One who drafts a plan of your house,
and plans a draft of your money.
Ambrose Bierce
Architects, painters, and sculptors must
recognize anew and learn to grasp the composite
character of a building both as an entity and in
its separate parts. Only then will their work be
imbued with the architectonic spirit which it
has lost as ''salon art.'' Together let us
desire, conceive, and create the new structure
of the future, which will embrace architecture
and sculpture and painting in one unity and
which will one day rise toward heaven from the
hands of a million workers like the crystal
symbol of a new faith.
Walter Gropius
Architecture is inhabited sculpture.
Constantin Brancusi
Architecture is petrified music.
Felix E. Schelling
Architecture is the art of how to waste space.
Philip Johnson
Architecture is to make us know and remember who
we are.
Sir Geoffrey Jellicoe
Believe me, that was a happy age, before the
days of architects, before the days of builders.
Seneca
Don't fight forces, use them.
R. Buckminster Fuller
