I don’t know how to use any real rendering software – so I asked Ryan in my office to lend me a hand. These renders also told me that I’m not quite done with my design. This captures all the spirit and wonder we were trying to create in our Bunkie project, but does so without the price tag we ended up with.

I’m not sure I would have made this observation had I not started writing this blog and posting my sketches for others to view. CAD has come a long ways but if you are creating 3d objects sketching is still a skill has a place. Tej Kanitkar Hi, Mr. Borson, first off, longtime reader and fan of your blog.

But that didn’t stop me from having a bit of fun this weekend when I decided to create a 3D model of my own house – because that’s what architects do for fun. Don’t get me wrong, while I can’t work every bell and whistle in SketchUp, I consider myself to be extremely good at the software.

I have taken the old BIM rendered images – the first from the beginning of August 2013, followed by one from the end of October 2013, finally ending with one that we rendered this weekend (January 2014) so that you could easily see how things have changed and evolved. I have a hard time letting go and not draw every detail.

In most cases it not’s just about the output of the drafting software, it’s also about how you draw the things that convey the information. I have always been very interested in the quality architecture drawings and renderings. Window tags _in plan??_ Perhaps that will be a New Year’s resolution. Rob Kuhn Also?
