Rendered Elevations
Genesis Studios, Inc. produces Rendered Elevations and Interior Elevations Architectural in all of our rendering styles:
- Watercolor Renderings
- Pen and Ink with Watercolor Renderings
- Opaque Renderings
- Digital (CG or Computer Renderings)
- Conceptual Renderings
- Scale Models (Interior Scale Models)
An efficient means of presenting an Architectural subject is through a Fully Rendered Architectural Elevation whether it is an interior or exterior elevation.
With disciplined skill, an Illustrated Elevation can bring to life a project without requiring the production of perspectives which in turn require more design input and 3-D modeling.
The introduction of shadows, carefully projected and in scale to corresponding depths can add dimension to a seemingly flat architectural drawing. The addition of colors, reflections in glass, textures and various materials assist to further embellish an Illustrated Architectural Elevation. Background buildings and other elements such as trees and landscaping and perhaps mountains can be used to frame the image.
Since in reality there is no perspective in a Rendered Architectural Elevation, they usually are cut off at grade. However, if desired the foreground can be portrayed by use of a “Forced Perspective”. Landscaping, walkways, cars and parking and other activity are add even more dimension to the Delineated Elevation.
An advantage of having a Rendered Elevation is that different parts or units of an elevation can be referred to with equal importance since there is no vanishing/foreshortening of any part of the architecture.
While any rendering can be used to critique a design, a Rendered Elevation is even more conducive to review. Once drawn or modeled, multiple color studies can be applied and evaluated.
The combination of Genesis Studios Inc. Rendered Site Plans with Rendered Elevations is an effective means of presenting a project or development for competitions and marketing. They can also be complimentary to Perspective Views, Animations and Scale Models.
