The client approached QeCAD with a requirement to develop a single, high-quality photo-realistic 3D render showcasing the south elevation of a proposed residential building. The primary objective was to create a visually compelling exterior image that accurately reflected the architectural intent, material palette and site context, suitable for the client presentation and approvals.
The project comprised the following key buildings and features:
Creation of a single image render of the proposed building’s south elevation
Development of a photo-realistic 3D visualization highlighting materials, lighting and reflections
Fine-tuning environmental elements such as sky, landscaping and surrounding context
Iterative refinements based on detailed client feedback to achieve visual accuracy
The client provided comprehensive inputs and visual references to guide the rendering process, including:
The render was designed to depict a mid-grey roof, light-grey exterior cladding, steel-framed windows, and white door trims. The client requested a dusk/sunset sky with subtle clouds, creating warm ambient lighting and realistic reflections on the glazing.
→ Natural sunlight across the entire house façade, with no shaded areas.
→ Reflections of trees and sky only on windows—no curtains or interior visibility.
→ Minimal landscaping with a few smaller, manicured trees placed symmetrically on either side of the house.
→ A continuous green lawn spanning left to right in front of the house, extending 4 meters deep.
→ No road, vehicles, or people in the foreground—only lawn and greenery.
→ Balanced sky composition with a soft blue tone and light cloud cover.
→ Achieving the right balance between realism and minimalism, especially in landscaping.
→ Ensuring accurate dusk lighting while maintaining full sunlight on the façade.
→ Managing reflections to appear natural without obscuring architectural details.
→ Refining tree density and scale to match client expectations precisely.
Before initiating the rendering process, the QeCAD team conducted a detailed review of the client’s requirements, scope, and visual references. This allowed us to align creative execution with functional accuracy.
The final deliverable was a high-resolution, photo-realistic south elevation render that:
→ Accurately represented the architectural design and material palette.
→ Met all environmental, lighting, and landscaping specifications.
→ Reflected the client’s vision while maintaining visual clarity and realism.
The output successfully blended the client’s expectations with QeCAD’s expertise in producing clean, precise, and impactful architectural visualizations.
