Best render engine to achieve this look?

Hi,

I am beginning to create interior renders for university & was wondering which would be best to achieve a similar look to these reference images (designs by Tutto Bene).

I assume you’d achieve this look 90% in postproduction - but was wondering if any specific programmes would be easier to create this?

I have looked into Corona, V-Ray, F-Storm - which one would you recommend for photorealistic interior scenes? Also will be working in low light scenes, which can often make things more complicated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Bathroom render made by mom

Hello everyone

I present to you another of my mom works.. I think it looks even better than the previous one.
Yet I still think the textures are just flat, neither me or my mum have any idea how to improve it.

Thank you for all the feedback!

Starting a small Architectural Visualization Studio in the Age of AI: Is it still worth the risk?

Hi all,
I’ve been seriously considering starting a small architectural visualization studio in Portugal , with a colleague. We both have solid experience working in established offices, but neither of us has run a studio independently before. We know it would require a significant extra effort—not just creatively, but also in terms of business development, client management, and financial planning.

Even so, it’s a challenge we’re willing to take.

What gives me pause is the current state of the 3D visualization industry. The market is highly competitive, with many well-established studios already operating successfully. At the same time, AI tools are advancing rapidly and are beginning to reshape how architectural images and animations are produced.

This raises an important question:

Is it still worth starting a small visualization studio today?

On one hand, experience, artistic direction, and client relationships still matter enormously. On the other, technology is changing quickly, and barriers to entry are lower than ever.

I’d love to hear from others in the industry:

- Have you started your own visualization studio recently?
- How has AI affected your workflow and business model?
- Do small studios still have a competitive advantage?
- What challenges or opportunities do you see in the next few years?

I’m interested in hearing honest opinions from freelancers, studio owners, and anyone working in architectural visualization.

Vray GPU issue

When rendering using GPU in vray it gives this type of result...

But when I render using CPU it is fine like no problem at all. I've checked all the settings, all drivers are up to date and Nvidia driver is also upto date.. I'm using an rtx 4060 for this. And this only happens while using gpu.. I've tried using cuda and rtx but it still didn't solved. I thought of vram issue so used use sys memory but it didn't worked at all so not vram issue as well... What could have been wrong?

J HOUSE — Light as Architecture - by Renderistic Studio

J HOUSE — Light as Architecture

Some spaces are designed. Others are felt.

J HOUSE explores the dialogue between material and atmosphere — where raw, honest textures meet the quiet precision of soft geometry, and where light moves through a space the way emotion moves through a room: gradually, deliberately, with purpose.

The design language is one of restraint and depth. Natural materials ground the interior while sculptural forms lift it. The result is a home that feels both rooted and weightless — calm in character, elevated in presence.

Rendered by Renderistic Studio, J HOUSE is a visualization study in contemporary minimalism, built around the belief that architecture, at its finest, is an experience you don't just see — you inhabit.

Not satisfied with the final output. Need some guidance.

Have done some renders for a colonial modern food court. Actually I'm not really satisfied with the outcome. I Would like some insights to make it more polished.

What Video Cards/Hardware is everyone using? Any I should avoid?

Long story short I've recently got an archviz adjacent job after a good chunk of years as a 3d animator in TV/web. The studio I'm going to primarily uses 3Ds Max and VRay, and at the same time my RTX 3080 is having a lot of issues and through lots of tests I think the only fix is a new video card.

Given how bloated the price of (primarily) nVidia video cards have gotten I'm starting to consider getting an AMD or Intel card instead. While they are giving me a beefy laptop to work off of with an RTX 5080 in it, and I primarily use my personal PC for playing games if it ever comes to me doing work on my personal PC are there any disadvantages to using an AMD or Intel video card for this kind of work? I've only used nVidia cards for as long as I can remember and I'm not sure if other brands aren't supported as well or have issues with max/vray/etc.

My renders looks quite flat.

The custom daylight settings on d5 engine are quite overwhelming, I tried to tweak it in numerous ways but couldn't find my desired output for the sky. Also I'm an Amateur in post production settings or 'effects' in d5. I really need feedback. Thank you!

Is Corona still the king of realism for archviz in 2026?

I really want to become very advanced in Corona Renderer, especially for archviz. I honestly love the realism it gives compared to other render engines. What are the best resources to learn from and get actual tips & tricks? Is self-learning from YouTube and practice enough, or is taking a course necessary to reach an advanced level?

Also, with the current market, what do you think is the better option to focus on nowadays: Corona, V-Ray, Unreal Engine, or D5?

If you are new to or struggle with Layout…

I love using Layout for all my construction drawings. I like sharing my knowledge too, if you’d like to learn more about Layout I’ve put a free video on my website

https://www.whitelockdesignlimited.com/opt-in-Freevideomasterclass

All the drawings above were made in SketchUp and Layout and I get so many people asking how I’m able to use LayOut without it crashing or being super laggy. Well the answer is in good modelling behaviour. So if you’d like to pick up some tips on best practices that I use check out the video and feel free to ask me any questions.

Archviz in 2026: Are we losing the “soul” of visualization in the race for speed?

Hey r/archviz,

I love how fast we can now produce options, but I’ve also seen renders that look technically perfect yet feel… empty. No atmosphere, no emotion, no story.

Has anyone else felt this tension?

That the push for speed and volume is sometimes coming at the cost of that intangible “soul” that made great archviz stand out?

How are you balancing speed with soul in your own work right now?

which AI is the best for rendering 3D models?

been seeing a lot of AI rendering tools pop up lately and have no idea where to start. looking for something simple, drop a screenshot or model in and get a decent render back without a complicated setup.

what are you actually using right now?
