pailhead Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Do you have any books to recommend that deal with the subject of traditional architectural rendering. Something that doesn't necessarily focus on a specific technique but more on the basics like for example, the composition of the elements in a rendering?

schmoron13 Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 this book is invaluable and i always refer folks to it. It's a great resource even once you know a lot of tricks: http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Lighting-Rendering-Jeremy-Birn/dp/1562059548 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pailhead Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Nah, this is not exactly what i meant. This book deals with the principals of 3d lighting, and i think it focuses more on digital sets and characters than architecture (if it deals with architecture at all, it's been a while since i've read it). I saw one book when i was in my uni, but i forgot the name of it. I think it was published in the early 90s, because as far as i remembered it mentions something about computer renderings, but it deals mostly with traditional stuff. For example there was a chapter that described the order of elements in a composition, where should you place the tree in the foreground, what kind of perspective to choose and things like that.

Ernest Burden III Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I saw one book when i was in my uni, but i forgot the name of it. Architectural Delineation...Ernest Burden? My father's book, it was used a lot at arch.schools. There's also several books by Frank Ching that are amazing, though I don't think he got much into composition. There's the old workhorse on rendering by Halse from the 50's (damned good book still) plus a number of books be current renderers like Thom Schaller and Richard Rochon and Phillipe Crowe, and a few more. What was in the book you remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might look at Julius Schulman (sp?) photography, doesn't get a lot better for Architecture imo. Also, here in LA we have a book store called Hennesy and Engles (again spelling ) that stocks a lot of Architecture books. Hope that helps.
