| The following sample workflow demonstrates and describes the general steps and process in a "typical" visualization job. The job presented is by no means absolute and is meant to show the general steps and procedures involved for this particular job. The example is one of many interior renderings for a Manhattan Penthouse Apartment produced for a Chicago Area Designer. Sketches, descriptions and material samples where provided by the Designer.
Other types of projects will vary depending on the style and environment. Exterior renderings will be similar with less detail but with various additional items such as trees and cars. Legal court exhibits have to be very accurate and usually have greater detail and require a great many revisions and views. |
