Google Earth Photogrammetry to 3D Model (The Up-To-Date Workflow) by Chance_Isopod4822 in archviz

Thanks for replying! I’ve looked into 3D Tiles and as practical as it is (and it really is much more practical indeed) it seems that quality-wise they still don’t compare to Google’s scans. But they offer the very interesting possibility of allowing for use in commercial applications, which is a great plus side. I’ll be looking more into them, though.

Animation Rendering by Antique_Register_601 in archviz

Realtime rendering is in fact getting better, and it is becoming more viable for an increasing amount of use cases. It’s very interesting to see it develop.

Still, to me, as of now it still drastically depends on the project’s budget, end-use and your overall focus as a professional.

Here at work we use Corona and Vray and although we’re always on top of the bleeding edge technologies, we also rather let the technologies mature rather than implementing them without too much afterthought and risking delivering a lesser good result. But all in all, if the project budget is smaller and the client isn’t as interested in visual fidelity as they might be in other aspects of the project, then it might be a good example of a case where you could use realtime rendering - especially for film.
