As the project progresses, clients might want better marketing or press images and we might do a V-Ray render to really up the quality and control. Early regulatory approvals presentations will also use these. Depending on the stage in the process, client presentations might have the aforementioned SU/Lumion renders or our Revit model might be developed enough to use Enscape. We might take a "clay model" still right out of those programs or run it through Lumion to render. In the early stages, we generally use SketchUp or Rhino to model. We break visualization needs out into Level 1, 2 or 3, with Level 1 being the most basic image we feel comfortable releasing and Level 3 representing our most considered images. My firm uses a suite of tools depending on the deliverable, timeline and audience.
Just off the top of my head, you could be using any or all of the following: Lumion, Enscape, Rhino, Revit, Vectorworks, V-Ray, 3DS Max, Blender, Corona, Unreal Engine, Unity, Cinema4D, TwinMotion, ArchiCAD. Some drafting tools have a built-in renderer, some renderers have modeling tools, etc., etc.
Moving into 2021, the options are only growing and each option is getting better, especially as technological convergence drives each product to adopt the features of the rest. What tools are you (or your firms) currently utilizing for producing visualizations?
