As a Design and construction company, we stay away from photorealistic rendering until the form and function boxes are ticked. In saying that Photorealistic renderings play a role very early in the customer acquisition stage and we use them in conjunction with a Sketchup model, also upon completion of concept and for realtors to sell off the plan.
When it all boils down, 2D plans, 3D models and photo-realistic renderings are simply a method of communication and should be used at the right time with the right customer.
We do not do rendering in the office, we outsource our rendering to a small company down in Texas who is reasonable in price, knowledgeable, fast and efficient, we tried outsourcing to south-east Asia yet the communication breakdown and time zone differences were prohibitive.

Subject: Architecture Visualization. What do you expect?
Hi guys!
I am a 3D artist focused in architecture, I am new to this platform but I would appreciate your feedback on this topic. Most of the time, I hear the experiences of artists/studios working with architects, but I was curious to know your experiences working with artists for your visualization.
What are the main factors that decides who to work with? Any good/bad experience you'd like to share? Does them being local/remote area affect your decision?
How about photorealism, is this an important factor to you? If so, how far do you push it?
Now that COVID hits, is it easier for you to outsource your projects or do you do them yourself?
I look forward to hearing your inputs.
Thanks,
Tsiky
