Under architectural view may be understand the visual image of a real or a planning architecture. At the stage of construction planning it is designed to intended aesthetic presentation. Three-dimensional graphical representation is called rendering or visualization. It is performed in various forms with the help of different tools. Its classical form is an architectural drawing and a model. And if everything has been made in a manual way then time-consuming rendering and computer simulation technique are used. All computer-based drawings first have been printed and meanwhile of fundamental importance are increasingly becoming numerical data presentation, virtual excursions with camera and animation.
The simplest form of architectural representation is a layout or a line drawing. A pencil, a marker, a chalk, a fountain-pen or a ballpoint pen are used in the quality of crayon tools.
Graphical rendering isn’t new enough. Project owners are always interested in architectural appearance of a building before it will be built. Many famous architects have produced object’s visualization for characteristic mode of expression which is typical for their creation.
Active computer-usage data have displaced traditional illustrative techniques over the last years. Computer rendering gives great virtue to rapid processing and special feature of photorealistic image invention.
It is possible to create 3D model in a virtual apartment since ninetieth. With the aid of CAD technologies production drawings and perspective views are formed.
All virtual models can be elaborated or visualized in software of three-dimensional graphics. Herewith the virtual model is equipped with texture. As a result the perspective is selected and visualized with high resolution or converted into two-dimensional surface. The most popular image today is so called «photorealistic image» whereby realistic clip arts are created.
By means of image processing program such elements as people and cars are integrated into photo and coordinated with it so, that space sense is appeared.
Animation goes to even greater extremes, because movies are producing on the ground of CAD data today. You can be in the act of walking through the building even before laying of its foundation. At the same time it is possible to modify lighting and materials, the whole construction, acoustics, etc. The holding lines don’t need to be handmade the present day and it is only a question of efficient use of correct tools.
