Features: Creating exterior renderings of hotels is a crucial category in architectural design. Unlike interior design, it demands a higher level of overall aesthetic quality, and the design structure does not necessarily have to strictly follow the basic structural drawings. It can be said that this makes it both relatively easy to design and yet presents certain challenges. Currently, the number of people creating renderings has seen a sharp rise, while most books on architectural renderings only cover general knowledge, despite their substantial length, the teaching direction is disorganized and lacks specific focus. The book we have written is primarily aimed at addressing the design challenges of luxury hotels, and we believe readers will experience a significant leap forward in architectural exterior design. This book provides a detailed introduction to the entire process of creating hotel exteriors and their surrounding environments, helping readers overcome the complexities of exterior design. It mainly introduces classic examples of hotel exterior renderings in modern, European, and antique styles, while also covering numerous technical challenges commonly encountered in architectural renderings. The book is divided into four chapters and is highly practical, making it suitable as a training textbook for architectural rendering designers and users of 3ds Max and Photoshop. The accompanying CD-ROM not only includes a large number of categorized material files required for creating exterior renderings (such as cars, trees, people, various wall textures, etc.) for readers to directly use when creating renderings, but also provides numerous successful rendering examples for readers to refer to and appreciate as design inspiration.
