Architectural Rendering using sketchup

Architectural rendering comes in a variety of methods and softwares use. Sketchup is a great way to produce architectural rendering. With its unique presentation and wide variety of styles, this is becoming the architect's choice! 

The sketchy style is still attractive to many although it has capabilities of producing high quality photo realistic rendering, yet there are options to do a different kind of presentation as if it is done by the very hand of the artist.

I find this complimentary to 3Dsmax instead of competition. Combining both capabilities, this will result in a more accurate and more refined rendering.

Using sketchup in the 3d modeling and establishing the scene, you can easily show the design right in front of your client, it is more interactive and user friendly.
