The Technically "Correct" Way to Render Architecture

Even though, the technically "correctway to render architecture is to have all the verticals verticalyou can often conceive more energetic renderings by ignoring these conventions and rendering from a low or high point of viewThe key is to avoid looking up or down at a slight angle, as this will look like a blunderand instead go for a really climactic perspective.

Rendering from low down and looking up at a building really emphasizes its heightso it’s a great technique for rendering office blocks and other tall buildingsLook for point of view that will permit you to render the building at an extreme angle for an energetic composition (again this needs to be extreme enough to look deliberate), or strive for a symmetrical image.

Bobby Parker
Hey there, thanks for visiting my online portfolio. My name is Bobby Parker and I’m a Minnesota based illustrator who specializes in photo-real architectural renderings, and I’m not afraid to turn my hand to animation if the job requires it. While growing up in Illinios I always had a childhood interest in drawing and artwork that has stayed with me throughout my career in architecture. I received my architectural education working for some of the most talented architects in Chicago. I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, and pride myself on the ability to deliver a valuable and visually-appealing end product, no matter what the scope. For me, it’s essential to achieve a balance between quality and speed. 24 years after working professionally, I am still combining the fundamentals of art with the most current industry technology, to create incredibly realistic 3D architectural renderings. I love what I do, and I hope that it shows in my portfolio. Please take a minute to visit my work page and drop me a message if you have any questions
