When importing something as a linked block (linked block is best for memory usage), there should be an option to set up an object display mode similar to what is described in Jareks thread, maybe automatically running the ReduceMesh command to create the low-poly representation.

Jarek, i checked your thread! Very informative! Using some simple sketch to replace the high-poly object is exactly what we need! Tweaking the display mode is also a very good direction, this makes the workflow smooth even on cheap, every-day-use computers. It is important to have as many of them, as fast as possible as the design gets changed several times. I hate importing into 3dstudio or any other software for rendering! Bad workflow, huge waste of time!įor architects, the rendered image is part of the design process. Rhino, not only is very good for architecture but it is also very cheap compared to autodesk products. There are so many libraries of high poly 3d objects that architects can make use of! I found 3d drone-scanned landscapes on Sketchfab! Archiproducts is full of high-poly contemporary furniture!

Vegetation, people, cars all other 3d assets help define the right scale for the building within the site and the ambiance, with correct shading, reflections and color bleeding.
