ABOUT THIS INDUSTRY
CURRENT STATUS AND TREND

“Exterior Visualisation refers to the process of creating photorealistic and impactful 3D images for constructing the visual
representation of the exterior spaces of your project. It is the most vital aspect of the Architectural Visualization Industry.
By applying Exterior CGI Rendering Services to your project , you'll be able to visualize its exterior aspects starting from
the lawns and gardens to play areas and building exteriors and more.

“The architectural performance industry is undergoing a revolution. There was a time when we had to put up with hours
or even dozens of hours per frame of rendering time to get photo quality architectural presentation. Today, with NVIDIA's
technology and the Unreal 4 engine, we're running photo quality at 100 frames per second.”

LUXIGON

Branch Offices
Luxigon | Paris (paris@luxigon.com)
Luxigon | Los Angeles (losangeles@luxigon.com)
Luxigon | Milan (milan@luxigon.com)

Introduction
To familiarize myself with the actual condition, I research for some examples of successful professionals in the field. One
on them is Luxigon, which has three branch offices worldwide
Their works incarnate the concept of “the process of making a rendered image is intellectual but not technical, like hand
drawing” and “creating visuals that best communicate their notions.”
It was founded in 2007 by a group of experienced CGI artists and engineers, and has grown to be one of the top
providers of CGI services to the entertainment industry. A lot of their works could be really good references for Visual Art
or photography compositions.
CAREER CASE STUDY
LUXIGON

They worked on a variety of projects, from feature films to video games. The company has also
developed a strong reputation for its innovative approach to CGI, combining the latest technologies
with creative and imaginative visuals. So this is a university performing arts center, including main hall
with five radically different preset spatial, acoustic, and technical configurations.

SHIMAHARA VISUAL

Business
Film | Branding | Illustration | Virtual Reality

Introduction
I also look at Shimahara Visual, which is another good example of (using rendering as a language bridging designers and
clients are the visualization works). And they also have a pursuit of artistic and cinematic excellence.
For the last two decades, their LA and NYC studios have drawn inspiration from the predominance of movies, aiming to
infuse that richness into their work. We are driven by how strong our ties are as we work together to unearth the
complicated links between architecture and movie.
I find a short showreel on their website, which can be seen as a manifesto of what they claimed as “Through visual
storytelling and our passion and goals of our partners, we imbue architectural experiences with cinematic life.”
MY REFLECTION
PROS & CONS

Pros
Able to coordinate with different projects at the same time
Get rid of the boring drawings
Possible access to more co-workers.

Cons
Less or no design opportunities involved
Deviate the way to get certifications of architecture.
Reputation, considered as low-tech

Self Analysis
Input on architecture cannot be easily discarded
Should have gotten more accumulations and solid practices that are necessary for the nurturing of architecture
Focusing on visual representation part of arch might be a best option
