Interviews with professional 3D artists
3D architectural visualization is an essential tool for designing and presenting environments and spaces. Through exclusive interviews, we give a voice to industry professionals: this way, 3D artists, designers, and architects can share their experiences, offering practical advice and work strategies.
Discover their rendering and 3D modeling techniques, the challenges they face in projects, and the innovations transforming the industry.
On 3D Architettura, we explore the most advanced methodologies for turning ideas into impactful visual representations, since we focus on everything from conceptual models to final renderings.
What fascinates me most about Archviz is the possibility of giving color and shape to someone else's story, dream and thought, of course with the touch of my identity, but being able to create a visual for someone's story is always incredible.
Our goal is to make our animated video films and images evoke feelings and tell stories about the objects from which they are created.
Portfolio of selected projects by Peiman Amin, 3D visualization artist, Designer, Architect from Iran, and founder of Capps design studio.
