Something I designed. Sketchup Pro 2022 and D5 Render.
-
Nice! Top notch.
-
Very good work.

Thanks Bryan. I never have a chance to do architecture like this for work. Getting rendering works seems to be next to impossible if they're not being cheap and think a couple of hundred bucks is adequate compensation. Maybe I need an agent.

Some more renderings.

yeah the main problem is someone can offshore this work easily. so you're competing for the actual work and if you're in a G20 country you will not make [much] money doing it. what you want to do, is "be the agent". do some preliminary prep, offshore it, final tweaks + package the results.
or simply do it because you love it and damn the money!

Wow! Excellent!

Nice work Gus,I know somebody in Australia who, instead of doing the SU model (house Land) himself goes through an Australian agent And pays about $400 AUD. I assume that agent has people in perhaps the Philipines or Vietnam for I am guessing $100 Aud, The Aus agent manages the product and does quality control and all communication with the modeller . The SU models (I have played with 2 of the models) They are technicaly perfect as It is used as a base for a landscape design. When I say perfect the back of a block of land 29M front to back was 180mm higher than the front kerb and thes was reflected in the model. We dont stand a chance mate

Thanks folks.
Maybe I could get more work if I moved to Vietnam.
About 40 years ago, most of the architectural renderings were either water color or colored pencil. I was trying to learn colored pencil techniques to that end but whatever illustrative presentation were just elevations on mylar and technical pens.
The rest of my work was drafting. From land surveys, to civil engineering to structural engineering. Planning and at an architect's office which was 2D drafting. Started doing non-photo real rendering around the mid 2000s and I was charging $500 per rendering. Of course I spent far more billable time than $500 with all the details. I needed the work and the experience or practice.
Most of my work remains drafting. I starting doing more photo-real rendering using Kerkythea. I finally got Thea Render only a few years ago. I tried V-Ray but it kept crashing on me. D5 Render is really good for doing fast work. I like setting things up with Thea now and rendering in D5.
It's difficult to get rendering work. Last week someone wanted a rendering. For $350. I would have done it for $600 since I already did the model for the architect. I've gotten anywhere from $500 to $2,500 (USD) for architectural renderings. At one point I really needed work and did some non-photo real for container homes. For a mere $100.
I can't think of any way to stand out to get rendering work. If it's not outsourcing it seem like real estate investors aren't even interested in renderings anymore. Architectural firms are just using Revit generated renderings which for the most part look amateurish.
