Thanks a lot for answering my questions thoroughly! My traditional art skills would be viewed as rather advanced for my age. Painting and drawing is all that I have done my entire life and because of this I'm interested in other means of making a realistic flat image.
Do Arch. firms hire Archviz people with a degree in architecture? Or is the Archviz industry based purely on the portfolio?
I think I will stick the video format tutorials, but just in case what books would you recommend? In terms of Architecture and "Archviz".
