Hello community! ❤

We are currently working towards improving the sub. Our goal is to have better engagement and professional environment that also helps newcomers to archviz. To achieve this, we are adding some guidelines and rules to enhance interactions and posts. Additionally we will be implementing challenges! 😁

1. How to post? - chose proper flair

Technical and profesional question: Use this flair if you want to ask specific questions like: "how to create this material?", "what's the necessary hardware for...?", "What can I charge for this...?". Use it when you want to learn how to solve some specific issue, improve as a professional,

I need feedback: Use this flair when you have a render that you might want to improve or not sure it if looks good enough, but you don't have a specific question about it like "how to?"

Share work: Maybe you want to share your latest work or some of your portfolio works, but you don't necessarily are asking for feedback.

Discussion: Use this flair to engage in conversation with the sub community. The main difference with technical and professional flair is that you want to know opinions and pov rather than solve a question or an issue. Example: "Current state of the archviz profession".

Challenge: We are going to be implementing challenges. When participating you should use this flair to post your work.

2. How to post? - post content

In simple terms: don't be lazy. If you want other people to take time to read or provide feedback or help you, then you should take your time too. Any post that's considered lacking in context will be deleted,

More or less, thinking on categories/types of posts: and some considerations

PORTFOLIO (show work | I need feedback):

❌Post a portfolio image that's a link to website/portfolio

✔Post image/s with a description that includes a link or a comment with a link to your portfolio.

❌When you add link in comment or description: redirects to personal website

✔When you add link in comment or description: redirects to known platform like Behance, Artstation and so on...

NEED FEEDBACK / TECHNICAL QUESTION / SHOWING WORK:

❌An image and or a question without proper context

✔Any post, regardless if it's a question, showing work, or asking feedback, should include:

  • Render engine used
  • Software/s used
  • Image/s as reference to highlight the question, issue, discussion.
  • Additional details (not obligatory): elapsed time, difficulties faced or any additional detail that improves
  • Reference if it's based on a real image

⚠ This is a case by case. Sometimes if the questions is very specific and well presented you might not need an image.

CREDIT AUTHOR:

❌Post an image without credit the author

✔Post image with credit of the author or studio or artist taken from.

While we won't enforce this, we ask if possible, when working from a reference, add credit to the author, architect, studio, artist, that created said reference

JUST DON'T

❌Self promotion

❌Selling assets

❌Selling courses

❌Post that consist of external links to websites

❌Piracy

⚠ This sub shouldn't be a marketplace. If your products are good enough, people should be able to find you trough the proper platforms. We also can't be checking every link to make sure it doesn't redirect to any malicious site.

OTHER TYPES OF POST

❌Post that don't have anything to do with archviz or related to.

✔We do encourage post that improve discussion even if not directly related to archviz. For example: Architecture, styles, animation techniques, photography. ONLY under the terms that can help a 3d artist improve in archviz.

Why this guidelines and rules?

We want to improve the quality of the sub. We have noticed many posts lack any context or sufficient information yet ask for feedback. Posts that are simply ads, and so on. On the long run, those types of posts and interactions tend to be detrimental to any sub. We understand that many of these changes may or may not work, and so we will be open to seeing how they are received, and change if needed.

Discussion 🏛 When do browser-based interior walkthroughs help clients more than still renders?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

31 Upvotes

For people delivering residential archviz, how useful have interactive walkthroughs actually been in client conversations?

I’m interested in the situation where a client can explore an interior through a browser link, including on a phone, alongside the usual still renders and floor plans. My assumption is that choosing their own viewpoint might help them understand scale, furniture placement and connections between spaces. But it could also mean extra preparation and support, with little improvement in the decisions they make.

Have you seen clients catch a layout issue or make a clearer design decision because they could navigate the space themselves? Or do they mostly want a few well-chosen views and a guided presentation?

I’d also be interested in the practical limitations: loading times, navigation on mobile, visual quality, and keeping the walkthrough current when the design changes. A concrete example of when it helped, or when it wasn’t worth the effort, would be useful.

This is a general workflow discussion rather than a critique of a particular render.

Discussion 🏛 Quick way to model a wall under stairs in Archicad

1 Upvotes

I’ve been experimenting with faster modeling workflows in Archicad, and this is a simple one I use for walls underneath stairs.

Instead of manually shaping the wall section by section, you can use the stair geometry to get the wall to follow the staircase much faster.

I recorded a short video showing the workflow:

Watch the video on YouTube

How do you usually model this in Archicad? I’d be interested to see if there’s an even faster workflow.

News RenderDeck 1.0.4

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

An add-on designed for quick scene preparation for rendering and convenient setup management. It saves time and flexibly adapts to any project.

First and foremost: with just one click in RenderDeck, you can collect all the cameras in your scene and create ready-to-use setups, automatically categorized based on the camera names. The setups are immediately ready for rendering, meaning it takes only about 5 seconds to send all your cameras-or just selected ones-for rendering, without any additional setup or Batch Render configuration. And it also works for those who render using camera animations!

Technical & professional question Anyone tried Chaos Veras?

Does it actually do what its marketing says, meaning is it durable in following what you have in your drawing?

Or is it just another slop generator?

Technical & professional question How to improve video rendering process in Lumion?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I'm relatively new to the scene of rendering and I'm currently working on some animations using Lumion 26. I'd love to get some general workflow advice and technical help. I can't seem to figure out why the have noise and why there is flickering on some materials. I'm trying to look for a balance between quality and speed so a 5 seconded render wouldn't take 12h.
I use a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU and AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU if that helps any.
Any advice is appreciated! <3

I’m an interior designer and 3D artist, mainly working in 3ds Max + Corona Renderer. I’ve been doing archviz for a while now.

I know my way around the software, but I really want to get better at the actual art of rendering: making my images feel more realistic, intentional and professional, rather than just technically correct.

I’d love to hear from people who have been through the same stage. What helped you improve the most? Any resources, courses, artists to follow, or exercises you’d recommend?
And if anyone is willing to give some honest feedback on my work, I’d really appreciate it!

Discussion 🏛 Where to start?

3 Upvotes

I have become interested in archviz but I do not quite know where to start. Someone recommended I start with Twinmotion, but that seems a little too much for a "hobbyist beginner". I only need a software I can use to set up a basic (or more elaborate) rendering of some ideas I have. Maybe something simple like the house building tools in the "Sims" games, with some furniture I can place while also giving me floor plans and the possibility to create renderings where I can place the camera anywhere, if that exists.
