Architectural visualization is the process of creating imagery that accurately reflects the built environment before construction begins. Traditionally, visualizing a home or development was done through an artist's interpretation or rendering. This approach has been adequate for some purposes. However, traditional renderings have often lacked the realism necessary to reflect the look of the final project. This has often led to doubts in the minds of the viewers. And if the client wished to see his project from a different viewpoint, it resulted in excessive costs of creating a new image.

Most of the geometry is done directly on AutoCAD based on the 2D plans elevations and sections given by the client. Solids are created in AutoCAD by means of polyline and region extrusion or solid modelling. These solids are then exported to 3DStudio MAX to be textured. The scene is created here by adding light sources, cameras, backgrounds, etc. When the whole scene is ready, a light solution is done with finalRender. Then a full-size render is done with this global illumination solution. Final touches are done in Photoshop like adding plants, trees, people, cars, skies, etc.
