This is part of an opera house I'm currently designing (thesis project): designed in Revit, and rendered in Octane. Black and white done in post.
Here's an exterior shot.
My interest is more in capturing and communicating the design idea and less in photorealism...

From Revit to Octane... How?
I use Revit ->Max ->whatever (Mental Ray, Maxwell, Octane)...
My interest is more in capturing and communicating the design idea and less in photorealism...
Don't say that... making something beautiful is always the way to persuade someone...
Since you make an image, it has to be nice... not just an image...

Hi JJTTBB:
Fair comment: I am somewhat insecure about my aesthetic instincts. But there is a beauty in abstraction, and I think that every artist has to find a place where the right things are being communicated with respect to their vision. For me a lot of the interest in architecture is understanding how space and materials and experience come together: there's a strategic and conceptual aspect to that kind of design that is important, and not purely about visual beauty.
Partly I am reacting against a lot of renderings that seem to be beautifully presented versions of not very beautiful or well-designed things.
I do try to create persuasive images (perhaps not successfully?) But I'd be interested in your view of what makes an image "nice" in this context.
With respect to my workflow for this project, it's Revit / FBX / Max / Octane, although I've had a lot of trouble with crashes in the FBX processor in Max. I link the FBX as a reference so I can re-use the material settings in Max each time I update the Revit model.
Thanks for your note,
tim
