3D rendering in architecture is now commonly used and normally all projects use it to represent forms, materials and architectural experiences. In the past, representing forms in a realistic way was difficult and time consuming. Now with 3d visualizations it is faster and more accurate but sometimes it does not show the true architect intention. In my opinion an architect firm which creates renders that seem real but with a lot of post editing that make them unique would be Santiago Calatrava architects. Their renderings truly show the architect’s sense of life and space. One good example would be the renderings for the tallest planned structure in the world, the Dubai Creek Tower.
