As Brett said, just because an image is stylized, or stylized in a popular way, doesn't make it invalid. If that were the case, then we should just stop rendering product shots altogether, since so many are on white seamless backdrops with 3-point lighting.

Here's another garbage image in that worthless style, same viz studio as my previous example



Agree with Eric that Benoit et al. was among the first to generate this look in CG. But I would argue that no arch. visualizer legitimately invented this look; that claim belongs to actual photographers. If they can continue producing bleached out, dreamy looking interior shots, then I see no reason to bash the practice in arch viz...

Juraj makes some beautiful images, but that image I dont really like. The floor looks weird and the furniture appears to float. If the postwork were more subtle it would be better, but thats not an option because orig render was dull, thats my point.

Maybe I am a snob when it comes to stylized work, at Architecture School the notion was shunned. Either way seeing a lot of similar imagery (inc 'scandinavian' interior photography) gets boring.

i would appreciate images as external links. I don't have anything against discussions but after all this should be a wip thread for my own little renderings

You're right, sorry about that! I should get off my soap box anyway.
