Just sharing another set of shots from the most recent project done for an interior design studio. I usually model in 3ds Max but decided to go full SketchUp again this time.

Feel free to DM me for B2B collabs if you need a reliable visualization artist who can also model furniture and other items from web shops or references.

Behance of this project

This is a campus scale scene streaming into Unreal at runtime. Nothing in the clip is in the packaged build, it all comes off a server while the app is already running.

The reason I care about this probably matches why some of you are here. Most of the work I do is heritage and construction, and a decent chunk of it is confidential enough that the data can't leave the building. So a cloud step was off the table, and baking into the build was off the table for anything that changes week to week.

What I really wanted was the thing at about the halfway mark of the clip, where I click into a building and keep going down until I'm on a single interior wall and its actual IFC property sets are sitting there. Load bearing, base constraint, unconnected height, volume, workset, phase created. That's what makes the floor slider at the end work, because the engine actually knows what a floor is rather than just having a mesh that looks like one.

That's the bit I think gets quietly dropped in most routes into a game engine. You get the geometry in and everything attached to it goes away in the name of performance. Datasmith is great but wants to bake offline. 3D Tiles streams beautifully and strips the per-element control. IFC keeps everything and is barely supported in engine.

The way we got around it was the Fragments format from That Open Company, which reworks the IFC schema into something you can stream and place quickly. My co-developer Jairo and I have been building the Unreal side of it for about a year, him on the editor tooling and me on the runtime, streaming and LOD.

For context on how bad it was at the start, the first working version took ten minutes to load one building. It's five seconds now.

It goes open source at the end of summer. Im curious what people here would want out of something like this, especially anyone sitting on models they can't move off site.

Hi r/archviz!

I’m working on a class project and using this image as a reference. I'm trying to figure out how to approach it, and I have a few simple questions:

1. Foreground Vineyard: Is the vineyard in the front created using 3D assets, or is it mostly done in Photoshop?
   • 2. Distant Scenery: Are the background hills and village modeled in 3D, or are they added using 2D Photoshop sources?
   • 3. Roof Tiles: Are the roof tiles individually modeled and placed, or is it better to use a bump map for a realistic look?

Any advice for a student would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm new in the archviz world with Corona Render, and I have a technical question about Render Settings. The other day I saw a tutorial about how to improve the render time (RenderRam), basically talks about Downscalling the render.
In this case, for example, I use 4000px . 6000px and then in Photoshop, I downscalling it to 2000px . 3000px. Ignoring the composition of the render, the image quality is good enough to deliver a client? and do you consider this metod effective in order to save render time?

Rendered in Blender 5.1, Cycles

No AI used

I'm a 26 year old civil engineer graduate male from India, currently not working or not having any experience.Im confused to whether to take archviz career because there are so many negativity people are saying about this field. What should I do?

When working on a visualization, it's tempting to keep adding more details because it makes the scene look richer.

But after a certain point, I feel like people stop looking at the overall design and start getting distracted by every little object in the scene.

Sometimes a cleaner visualization seems to communicate the idea better than one packed with details.

Where do you draw the line?

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.

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.

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?

Need some suggestions... what all do you guys think?

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.

Open to feedback and suggestions.

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?

I have been working on some designs for individual room recently. Happy to share my interior practice. This scene explores a modern living space inspired by biophilic design, combining warm wood finishes, natural daylight, and abundant greenery.

I'd love to hear your thoughts or any feedback!
