2D and 3D visualization for architects

Creating graphic representations of future buildings has always been a relevant task for architects. Drawing has remained the primary way of expressing ideas and visually supporting projects for many years and up to the present day. However, today, the potential of computer technologies has been added to traditional techniques. In this book, we will talk about rendering - a technique through which architects create flat images of volumetric models on a computer. We will explore the theoretical and practical aspects of this field and examine what the process of creating renders looks like in the hands of professionals. This illustrated gift edition will be a great gift for both aspiring specialists and experienced architects looking to diversify their techniques. This detailed step-by-step textbook includes: basic materials and tools, fundamental concepts and techniques of graphic design, rendering, and 3D modeling, the concept of color, light, and image editing techniques, ways of depicting the surrounding environment, and practical examples.
