What an exterior visualization should do
A good exterior view shows not only the building, but how it sits in its finished surroundings. Material, light, vegetation, and neighboring buildings decide whether an image conveys the design fairly or merely decorates it.
Images are rendered in 3ds Max with V-Ray and finished in Photoshop. Output in web, brochure, and large-format print resolution, depending on where the image is used.
Where exterior visualizations are used
Marketing for new-build projects
You use the images for exposés, listing portals, your website, and social media. Available before groundbreaking, so prospective buyers already know what they will see.
Architectural competitions
Clean, design-true exterior views without Photoshop drama. Juries tend to read exaggerated lighting as manipulation, which works against the entry.
Planning approval and stakeholder alignment
Views that document material choice, height profile, and relationship to the surroundings. Useful in discussions with authorities, neighbors, or clients.
Twilight and night variants
Second version of the same view at twilight or night. Often performs better as a cover image and on social media than the daytime version.
How an image is made
Four steps, around two to three weeks from full data handover.
- 01
Briefing
You send the plan set (site plan, floor plans, elevations, sections) and references. We agree on scope and visual direction.
- 02
Clay renderings
First untextured drafts establish perspective, proportion, and light. Here we decide which views are taken further.
- 03
Material development
Based on the chosen perspectives, color drafts emerge with materials, vegetation, and atmosphere. One feedback round is included.
- 04
Final
After the last sign-off, the images are final-rendered and delivered in the agreed resolution.
