r/archviz

Hi, i'm a 3d student that dont have much work experience in 3D, I already had done some work and made some models for games and stuff, and mostly enjoy all things related to 3D.

I'm considering studying archviz but I would like to know from you guys how hard is to start earning money with this, I think most work that I would do is home office for many reasons.

Thank you all in advance

I find great satisfaction in using Revit as my primary software for architecture projects, recognizing it as one of the best tools available. However, I am striving to enhance my rendering quality, which led me to learn Blender. The results were promising, yet I encountered challenges with asset availability (even with blenderkit), which prompted me to reconsider my approach. Consequently, I am exploring a workflow involving Revit and Unreal Engine. This choice allows me to leverage the Twinmotion library within Unreal Engine and, if necessary, refine my models further using Blender. I seek your insights on whether this path is worthwhile or if there might be more effective alternatives.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated.

Can i also ask where can i download 360 view of mountains for free?

I purchased a perpetual license of vray 5 in 2021 and had up until today been using sketchup pro 2022. Decided to upgrade to 2024 and realized there is no option to install vray 5. I would have assumed the updates would last longer than one year. Contacting their customer service is no longer an option either it seems. Anyone know if there’s a workaround to installing it on 2024?

Hi everyone, I want to diversify my services and was thinking about buying a drone (also doing the very easy online certificate that is required)

I would use the drone for render backdrops, real estate stuff, animations and so on. Do you have any recommendations? My budget is 1000€ max

I want to start learning Archviz. I see people design a plan on archicad, put in twin motion. Other people design a plan on Autocad then import it to 3ds max and render in Arnold. I taught myself Blender and it's alot easier and LIGHTER on my poor laptop but I fear its on the expense of the render quality. What program do you use for modeling and rendering? I'm welling to learn any new program, just tell me the correct way to go about designing and rendering

Hello everyone!

I am a 3rd year architecture student, who wants to learn archviz. I am very interested in the topic, since I think it is probably the most effective way to communicate a design, but sadly, a bad, plasticy render can oftentimes ruin your presentation. Also, there are not many architecture job openings in my country, so this could be a possible career path when I graduate, and it would also be nice to earn a little during my studies. I am not at all experienced in archviz so I have a few questions.

First and foremost, is this a viable format? I think I can manage my weekly studies in approximately 40 hours, so that leaves my weekends free to work. Is the minimum required workflow manageable in that timeframe? For example, if the minimum renders the client asks for is, lets say, six, can I manage that in a weekend?

What is the proper way to learn archviz? Could you recommend me some good educational sources? What are the industry standard softwares?

What is required of an archviz professional? What is the workflow? What little experience I had with archviz was that I got a .pln (Archicad file) that I put in twinmotion, textured it, and used some of the software's assets. Do you need to model? I find archicad modelling to be too tedious for modelling complex forms like furniture. Can I solely rely on assets or should I learn a different modelling software?

I plan on studying archviz intensely during the summer break. Unfortunately, during the semester, I'll have to work the weekends to cover rent, so taking it easy during the weekends is not an option. Your answers would be greatly appreciated, they would really speed up progress.

Thanks in advance

Can anyone recommend me some 3D assets sites including free?

I posted about a render i made for a room in a tourist sailboat and now updated it and would love to know if you think i did it better this time

First ones are the old renders
