It would be interesting to share your experiences.

Hello everyone. I'm Ludovico Palmeri, Unreal Engine specialist and former Architectural visualizer. I'm excited to share that my book, "Architectural Visualization in UE5" was recently released on Amazon. For those interested, you can find the book at the following link: Amazon Link. Alternatively, you can search for it on your country's Amazon domain.

It took me one year to write it and I’m super happy about it. It's a manual that teaches how to use Unreal for producing images and animations with architectural visualization quality (but not only this). It covers all the steps, from managing and importing models, to creating lights, materials, and blueprints, to the best settings for rendering. So, it's a bit of a guide to Unreal itself (in addition to its use in archviz). For those who have recently started and struggle to navigate through various topics by following dozens of tutorials, it could be a huge support (in every sense, it's about 500 pages): a guide in the labyrinthine world of UE, with everything you need to know collected in one place. Ideal for establishing a solid foundation before tackling advanced tutorials.

Thanks and happy rendering!

Hi,

I am trying to learn how to render my rhino model of exterior and interior architectural moments of my building.

What is the fastest way I can learn what vray has to offer? Any course recommendations?

I’ve heard lots of people learn vray from youtube, Gediminas Kirdeikis videos?

Hello guys,

I'm doing a lot of tests on how to achieve this kind of result using vray for sketchup.

I'm actually using a dome light with HDRI https://polyhaven.com/a/clarens_midday with no VraySun and no enviroment map but i'm not sure if it's the best setting.

I can't see those strong shadows that I see on the reference render.

I mean, I know it's not bad but I'm always trying to do better.

Modelling in SketchUp and rendered in Lumion

This was done on a deadline(2 hours). Although I did get a good compensation for it, I'm not very happy with the outcome but I still sent it to the client and they really liked it. What do you guys think?

As I continue on my journey to refine and elevate my skills in architectural visualization (ArchViz), I find myself eagerly seeking the guidance and mentorship of an experienced professional in the field. The world of ArchViz is as dynamic as it is captivating, and I believe that the insights and expertise of a mentor could truly propel my craft to new heights.

But why a mentor, you might ask? Well, while tutorials and online resources are incredibly valuable, there's something uniquely enriching about the personalized guidance and real-world wisdom that a mentor can offer. From technical know-how to artistic vision, I'm confident that a mentorship journey will help me cultivate a deeper understanding of ArchViz and refine my ability to bring architectural concepts to life through visuals.

If you're interested in mentoring or know someone who might be, please don't hesitate to reach out. Your mentorship could be the catalyst for unlocking my full potential as an ArchViz artist.

Feel free to ask any questions you may have about architectural visualization, no matter how basic, anything goes.

Post work in progress, ask for critiques and opinions.

Let us know what you are working on, any problems you are having on your project or anything you need to rant about.

Keep things positive and be open to critiques.

Friends, tell me where should I start if I'm from Russia and I want to find a remote 3d visualizer job in the USA? I have been working as a freelance 3d renderer for more than 3 years, but with clients from Russia. As I imagine, I need someone like a manager who can provide me with orders for different companies.

And question number 2 - what is the fair price I can set for my work?

I will put some of my works, but if someone suddenly becomes interested, here is my IG, there are my other works and a connection with me https://www.instagram.com/jupiter_visual_/

Thank you all for any feedback!

A render for my thesis project. Would appreciate and feedback 🫡

Hi everyone. I hope y'all are doing well.

My (i5 6th gen, no graphic card) takes 8 hours to 12 hours (depending on the scene) to render one image on 3ds max. So If I want to render 15 second (30fps) video, it will take me as approximately 3600 hour? Is it reasonable?

If it is the case for most people, is there any alternatives you guys are doing, or working with?

Thanks ❤️

To all my in-house Archviz artist here? How many of you have an Architectural background/architectural training?

And do you worry about the architects in your firm just doing renders for themselves rendering you obsolete? Especially with the rise of AI?

Hey guys, I'm an architect student and I was looking at some companies in my country that are selling Archviz services, and was interested in making money out of this during my studies. This is an extremely small community and I've heard conflicting information regarding the success of a career in this field. My question is this, like any services that can be done online photoshop, digital marketing, content creation etc, I understand people can outsource internationally or do so with a local business. Why exactly do people in the Archviz industry find it difficult to earn a living from this?

Is it because you need to market yourself properly? You need to use sales? You need to network a lot? What exactly is the most difficult aspects about this?

Those that have worked in the industry or still are, can you give me some insight on this?

I'm very much doing archviz as a hobby since 2-3 years. I used that time to learn stuff by myself by doing several courses and building up a portfolio. I tried doing exterior, interior, virtual homestaging, animation and VR. The main software I use is 3dsMax with Corona Render, while I'm also familiar with Unreal Engine, Cinema 4D, V-Ray or Redshift Render.

I'm doing this at home on my desktop PC with 2 Monitors. This desktop PC has an Intel I7-13700K CPU, 64GB of DDR5 RAM (5600 Mhz) and a Geforce RTX 4070Ti. I build this PC myself and it's doing very well for my tasks.

I decided for myself that I will think of working as archviz freelancer fulltime. On top of that I could imagine working remotely from different places. With that being said, I'm looking for good ideas how my setup could look like in the future. I know there are many posts here about laptops for archviz but they are always kinda focused on budget solutions. And I know that using a laptop instead of an Desktop PC is always a downgrade where I will pay more for less, but I'm fine with that if the workflow is still good.

While looking for good laptops, I really don't want a big clumsy thinkpad workstation. I know these might be the best option, but they are pretty unhandy for working remote. That's why my main focus is on getting a Razer Blade 16'' with an Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU, Geforce GTX 4090 (Laptop) and 64GB 5600 Mhz RAM. This will cost around 5700$.

I know it is a lot of money, but if I really decide to work remotely, I don't want to have any problems while working. Paying some $ extra money to have a smooth workflow would be worth the money in my case. Now my question, how do you guys think about that? Is this kind of high end laptop overkill? Are renderfarms an option? If you are working remote, how does your setup look?

I would really appreciate some feedback or tips. Thank you and have a good one.

Hi! How do you think It Will be the future of archiviz. How far and how fast do you think the AI will take place . I would like to know and get opinions about It. Thanks!!!

How is a photo like this created? Is it matte painting or is everything modelled with this amount of detail? And how long would it take to finish a scene like this?
