Is there any way to get a lumion render in 300 dpi or so. Or is there any other alternatives to get a lumion output at 300 dpi? Please help.

ISO Architectural Visualizer

My company needs to find someone who is able to crank out 3D floor plans of our apartment units. Rhino + Lumion is preferred as this is what we use in house so we can update the model ourselves in real time. I provide autocad plans and interior elevations as well as material specs. PM me if interested. If this isn't the place to look, if someone could provide me with some insight on where to look that would be appreciated.

Creating Interactive Architecture visualization

Hello community, I'm a Game developer and I'm looking to test my skills with some Archviz and make something like a Interactive Architecture visualization where user can walk around the premises and interact with the objects. And things. Like Lights, furniture, and other things like that. I'm looking for some resources from where I can get pre made rooms or whole houses. To use. Paid or free service are appreciated.

Thank you.

Exterior House Help

Currently need to put new windows and siding on our (new to us) 50 yr old house. Can't find an architect that we like that isn't booked out for the next 5-6 mo. This would get us into winter time in our area a mean a years delay in the above projects which we don't want as water is already penetrating the exterior. Any recommendations for visualization apps for a layperson that might be helpful in visualizing new window layout?

Question about using real-life furniture and decor in 3D renders

Hey! I'm a total newbie in architectural vizualization and only used Blender before.

My question is:

When someone orders a project from a designer, the designer creates a 3D vizualization with real-life objects (furniture, decor, etc.). The designer gives references to where these products can be purchased (usually direct links to online stores).

I'm wondering, how does that work? Are there libraries with 3D objects that the designer uses in their design? How rich are those libraries and how much creative freedom the designer has? How can they be sure the client will be able to find and purchase these objects in real life?

(I imagine drawing everything from scratch would be a very tedious task - so I believe that's not how it's done).

How to actually get archviz/freelancing work as a 18 year old

Just to give some context, I'm living in Malaysia and my uni starts in the next 3 months and I want to be doing some freelancing work as a form of side income during my studies, and probably start an archviz firm in the future, but I don't really know where to start.

I've been going at archviz since 16, and I've already heard people tell me that I should get into visualisation. I'm keen, but unsure how. Also doubting whether professionals will take me seriously or not.

Yapping aside, here are my few questions

What are the best steps I can take to get off on a strong foot in this space?

Should I be using fiverr/upwork to get clients, and how the hell do I even get them?(its been 4 months since i made a gig and I have 0 purchases :/ )

Should I be focusing more on my local network instead?

Is my work good enough? (check my profile if you wanna take a look at it.)

I'd really appreciate if the archviz community could drop in their 2 cents on this 🙏

Photogrammetry (3D Scanning) Diffuse Texture isn't "seamless" after Photoshop adjustments (Shadows/Highlights) - WHY ?

Hello

Im doing a scan of smaller object (orange (fruit); but it doesnt matter, could be anything and the problem happened on and off previously with various scanned models). Im doing the diffuse texture in Agisoft Metashape from the original photos that were used for point cloud, mesh etc. generation ( i dont use another special, separate set of photos (adjusted) just for diffuse texture generation (as is often the case/recommended in a more proper photogrammetry workflow)).

I just use the Photoshop feature/function "Shadows/Highlights" (Image - Adjustments - Shadows/Highlights) to "somewhat" remove highlights and shadows from the Diffuse texture.

(I use indoor scanning setup on a rotating lazy susan with 2 softboxes for lighting so the lighting is "quite" (well... somewhat) even to begin with)

It usually works ok for me (for my "quality level demand"), but SOMETIMES, as happened currently the (in photoshop) adjusted texture (if applied on the 3d object (in 3ds max)) suddenly gives/shows seams among the UV unwraped islands, picture:

https://prnt.sc/PVMLKlufpM0G

Original Diffuse texture (UNaltered in photshop in any way) doesnt have the seams:

https://prnt.sc/pMKC5ZcR6yKo

I dont know... I vaguely remember that it might have happened before sometimes (maybe..?) but usually i dont see any problems... Now i do... My understanding is that the shadows/highlights function in Photoshop should work on the whole image "equally" so no "showing seams" problem should occur... Its like if your original diffuse texture doesnt show seams, and you for example, whatever... brighten, darken, add contrast, add color tint, change color balance etc. whatever you do with the texture in Photoshop, if there were no seams in the original diffuse texture, there should be NO seams visible even on the new adjusted one...? Right..? And it doesnt show AFAIK with brightening, darkening, changing color balance whatever... BUT for some reason it shows (suddenly?) with Shadows Hightlights...? Why is that?

Again i think i MIGHT have gotten this problem MAYBE before but it was NOT often, i cannot even remember it really... But suddenly it shows with the newest model i work on... ( i didnt play with photogrammetry for months really)?

Hey guys. Can anyone suggest the perfect ray tracing settings for getting better and faster output. I'm currently rendering my scenes at 512 samples, maximum bounces and firefly reduction at 50%.But still I'm facing issues with the output of the render that is the people and the objects are not yet finely defined after the render. Any suggestions?

A real estate agency for which I've done archviz work just contacted me for a job in which they only want the modeling and images, which they plan to render with the AI

Hello everyone, I want to tell you about my latest experience with a real estate agency, for which I've done a couple of ArchViz projects. They contacted me for a new job, but it turns out they only want me to work on the modeling part and send them a total of 10 images, which they plan to "render" in an AI app.

I'll send them a quote for the modeling, but my question is, will they get a good product with the workflow they intend to use? I've seen very good products where AI is used to touch up or add things to renders, but so far, I haven't seen a good product rendered from scratch with AI support. And finally, would it be a good idea to update to this type of workflow to avoid losing jobs?
