Thanks for sharing all of this. I'm dipping my toes into this coming from the concert industry as a lighting designer and production designer. This helped a ton!
I'm an architectural photographer who studied 3D product design at university, with an interest in gaming/simulation and some experience in marketing. As a result I've been considering branching out into arch viz as a way to increase my income and provide my clients with a more wholistic service. This interview was brilliant. It really helped get the big picture on the industry and what I might need to do to get into it. Thanks!
Having watched this and some other videos of yours now, it would be really great if you could talk a bit more about the business/career side of the industry. For example, how archviz studios work, how to get hired by them, or how to get started as a freelancer. It would be great to hear you talk more about things like estimating, pricing, copyright, licensing and etc. There's quite a lot of info out there about this stuff for the photography industry (which is my main business), but I've not come across much for archviz. I'm wondering how much of it translates across.
Personally, I find archviz quite difficult as a freelancer, architecture related things often need a team to work together, or a company to guarantee progress and risks.
I read your sharing, I think you better learn blender about effects, about modeling, it will be good if a photographer can do advertisement with real and 3d images
Thank you for this 3-part series. I especially liked the section in this video where you talked about relationships. I'm trying to start a business in architecture visualization. I have already done one free project for a small-time architect. He has paid projects coming for me in the future, so I would say that the 'build relationships' advice seems true to me. I have a question though. I'm struggling to pitch my services to potential clients. I don't know how to communicate how they would benefit from my services. Is there somewhere that I can go that will teach me all of the information necessary to understand WHY an architect would want or need a 3D visualization?
I would say that modeling is a core skill needed, yes. These days, I get a lot of models already made in Revit, but the chances that I don't need to adjust them or add to them is basically 0%.
Im finishing my masters in AR/VR but I realized that I don’t like coding but like building things in 3D, im currently doing an internship where my VR work is 80% archwiz so I was thinking of going into that, good to know my VR degree won’t be wasted haha
@@Learn-archViz about to buy your udemy course, time to start the journey :) I just hope I will be able to afford V-ray after the trial, already claimed my 3ds max free for a year, would the things you cover in v-ray be applicable to Corona, I'm asking since it's free, thanks.
Do you know anyone use Houdini for archiviz? I want use it. The only potential problem I see it can't open max or 3ds files. Do clients send these formats? It can open obj, fbx, abc, usd. I think it can open dwg.
