Happy Halloween!

In the early 90s, I cut my teeth on hotel renderings. I worked for Motels of America out of Des Plaines Illinois, and as you might have guessed, they designed, built, and managed hotels across America. One of the Architect had an unopen box from Accurender. Since he had little desire to learn the software, I took the opportunity to dive into the world of 3D Visualization.

Computers were slow, and so was the software. I was amazed at being able to hit render and come back in the morning to see something on my screen, but it was painstakingly slow. From interior hotel renderings to exterior hotel renderings, I did them both. I would fly around the country, taking measurements at existing hotels due for a remodel and creating 3D renderings to show the company owner the design intent. Of course, we did new hotels, too.
