Architectural rendering

Hey there! So, have you ever heard of drawing a picture of what your dream house would look like? That’s a type of architectural rendering!

But sometimes people need a more realistic picture of what a building or house will look like before they actually build it. So, they hire someone who is really good at drawing to create an image of what the building will look like.

This process is called architectural rendering. The person who draws these pictures uses a special computer program to create a very detailed 3D image of the building. They use different colors and textures to make it look as real as possible.

The person who wants the building built can then look at this image and make changes if they want to. It helps them to make sure that everything looks good and functions as it should before they start building it in real life.

So, in summary, architectural rendering is when someone draws a really detailed picture of what a building will look like, using special computer programs to make it as realistic as possible. This helps people make sure that everything looks and works how they want it to before they start building it in real life!
