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.

Autodesk selected two of my images for promotional
uses. Both images appear on
