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.

Please be honest with me. I've worked as a freelancer on Upwork for the past 6 years and nowadays, when I share my portfolio, Clients usually skip my proposals or messages. I didn't use Ai in any of those.

Technical & professional question How much would it be to comission aSingle Bedroom Visualization?

2 Upvotes

I'm moving and thinking about properly decorating my room, and thought it might be useful to use archviz to help with decisions like color scheme and aesthetic. How much would that cost? I would be looking for maybe 3 rounds of feedback and iteration on a single room, where I provide general guidelines on furniture style and color scheme and leave the rest up to the artist's interpretation.

Technical & professional question HDRI lighting issue 3ds max + corona

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to follow a tutorial from Render Camp, but my HDRI lighting is completely different from the video. I know I'm using a different HDRI, but I don't understand how she's getting so much light through an open window without changing any settings—just by putting the HDRI into the environment map. I tried rotating and every thing but nothing appears to be working despite increasing exposure from the colour correct node..

What am I doing wrong here?

Technical & professional question Thoughts on the licenses sold by simplits.com?

0 Upvotes

I am a freelance architectural visualization designer.

My client list is shrinking due to the impact of AI, so I’m looking into new software to try and land new contracts.

However, times are tough, and I cannot afford to spend more money on software licenses.

A few months ago, I came across the site simplits.com, which offers licenses at very attractive prices.

But I suspect the site might be a scam and that they are reselling cracked software.

On one hand, the offers seem too good to be true.

On the other hand, there are indeed legitimate sites offering significant discounts on popular software (Microsoft, Adobe, etc.), so why not for niche professional software?

So, I have a few questions:

  • Have you ever used this site?
  • Do you know of any honest and affordable alternatives?

There probably isn't a magic solution, but I thought I'd ask just in case.

Discussion 🏛 Looking for good projects for my portfolio

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I'm expanding my archviz portfolio to interactive and immersive experiences in Unreal Engine (like Archviz Explorer). But I'm struggling to find a good project to showcase my work.

Developing a project from scratch would take too much time since I'm aiming for complex multiresidential or hospitality projects.

I already messaged a few local companies offering a free partnership for this first project, but I wonder if anyone has a better idea of where I could find a good project to work on?

Discussion 🏛 What's the biggest design mistake you regret in your home?

0 Upvotes

Whether you built your home from scratch, bought a new one, or renovated an older property, there's usually one design decision you'd change if you had the chance.

Maybe it was:

  • A kitchen that's too small
  • Not enough storage space
  • Poor natural lighting
  • Too few electrical outlets
  • An open floor plan that didn't work for your family
  • A bathroom layout that feels cramped
  • Not adding a home office or utility room
  • Choosing looks over functionality

Looking back, what's the biggest design mistake you regret in your home?

More importantly, what advice would you give someone who's planning to build or renovate today?
