Top Tricks & Tips for Architectural Renderings

This video walks through some of the primary compositional tricks and tips I use in all my renderings. These tips are the foundation for simply making good imagery and can be applied to renderings from any program. You’ll be a more valuable designer if you can apply these techniques to whatever tool you pick up whether it’s 3ds Max, Unreal, Lumion or something else not even developed yet. Remember to be deliberate and understand how your compositional choices affect the way your design is interpreted by the viewer. Ultimately, these are just guidelines and the basics that I keep in mind when starting out. Don’t hesitate to get creative and break the rules if you feel the design calls for something more impactful!
