I have noticed that now a days realistic renderings are lessen as the conceptual graphics are taking place day by day.
The worst problem was not using as reference 3D pictures... I decided that just using photo reference and my imagination is enough...
It's hard to work when a customer gives you not enough information about project and defines just an output quality. Then the work takes a lot of time.
The reason for deciding to work in this area was basically because I love how a project comes to life in 3D. I like all 3D areas, from games to Arch-Viz to VFX but am specializing in Arch-Viz.
I never regret the hard work, investigation, and trial and error that I have gone through. I think the best is to experiment and exchange ideas as well as information with other users.
At first I really didn't like Archviz, I found it very difficult at the time, but through the struggle of having to learn how to do it because my situation depended on it at the time sparked a passion for it, I have been an archviz artist mainly over the last 2 years and my desire to do what I do grows more everyday.
I love the architecture and 3D. now it's like half of my heart. They can not be separated. I will always follow it and never changed.
The biggest problem that I always encounter is the time frame, most people do not understand why rendering is so time-consuming, even my boss cannot fully understand why with such a powerful computer I have is still not enough to not leave my computer running till next morning
Getting to know 3ds Max , was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life and as my own idea, I wish I started learning it much earlier.
Actually even the things that I did wrong I would redo, because I have no doubt that some of bad choices I did made me met the 3D guy at my school, and today I'm extremely glad that I can say I'm actually working with 3D.
Starting 3d you first feel excitement of something new and challenging. I personally believe that no matter what difficulties you meat on the road, the most important is never to give up, to search for solutions on professional forums and always to have passion for what you are doing.
Customer always come with extra work and changes which is not considered and that makes our program difficult. If we say we will use 5 days on this projects, it usually end with 15 days
