Architectural visualizations are a kind of “window” into the future, which allows you to feel and see future spaces and buildings even before they are built or recreated. In today’s world, two key approaches dominate – artistic visualization and photorealism. Which one is better, and why?
Benefits of photorealism and artistic visualization
Photorealistic imaging is the process of accurately reproducing reality using sophisticated 3D modeling, rendering, texturing, and lighting technology. It aims to create an optical illusion of images taken with a camera without the use of computer graphics. Such rendering is an ideal option for engineering or commercial projects, where high accuracy of detail and realism are required. It allows you to accurately visualize the look of a future object.
As for artistic rendering, it does not seek to reflect the exact reality, but creates a mood and conveys the atmosphere and creative intent of the project. With the help of innovative techniques and styles, the illusion of an artist’s work is created without the use of computer technology. This method is suitable for projects that require conveying atmosphere, emotion, expressiveness, and creativity (advertising, presentations, and competitions).
Which type of visualization costs more – artistic or photorealistic?
It is impossible to answer this question unequivocally. The cost of work is influenced by a combination of many factors:
- project complexity;
- deadlines;
- qualification of the specialist, etc.
Photorealistic rendering requires more time, technical skills, and resources. Therefore, the price may be more expensive than artistic visualization. However, artistic rendering depends on the talent of the artist, his artistic taste and unconventional imagination, which can be more expensive.
