Architectural Visualisation Project Sequence
How an archviz studio turns a client's CAD drawings into photoreal renders and a walkthrough.
Drawing diagram…
What this diagram shows
- Clay renders fix camera angles before materials
- Two rounds of revisions are included in the quote
- Final renders and video are delivered in high resolution
Prompt used
Architectural visualisation sequence: the client sends CAD/BIM files and references. The 3D artist models the building and interiors and sends clay renders for camera angle approval. After approval, materials, lighting and furniture are added and draft renders go to the client. The client sends revision notes (up to two rounds). Final high-resolution stills and a walkthrough video are rendered on the render farm and delivered.
