Uploading a dwg to create renders

[river]

Hi im just wondering if there are any simple programs available where i can upload dwg files and create interior and exterior renders. I am a developer in Costa Rica and dont have time to wait for renders, everyone in Costa Rica works at a snails pace. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

There are no simple programs That i know of That will automatically Turn 2d plans into finished renderings

 

however,

 

There are probably about 10,000 poeple here at This website (if They are not already Too busy with cg work) who would be willing To help you

 

maybe post a sample image of a floor plan or better yet POST a job offering in CGarchitect's job board

 

look at The Top menu bar (its somewhere)

someone surely will help you out with This

Thanks for the help Randy, i will upload a couple of floor plans in the "POST" section. As for the response by Andrew .."CREATE" by definition, does not mean "make render button"! So if i can re-phrase, is there software i can buy to "CREATE" interior and exterior renders from DWG files. Hopefully a relatively easy program. Thanks

That was a joke. What we mean is that there's no automated procedure for making renders from 2d drawings; what you need to do is get an artist to do your renders.

Ok..Thanks, was just hoping for something to keep me busy tonight.

Pushing Buttons. If your looking to be busy tonight, you might try fanning the flames, or putting them out...perhaps you dont realise how your question could be interpreted, its a wide open cue for many jokes.. For example "I didn't realise Costa Rica was in Canada."

 

You can learn a lot in one night on this website, but probably couldn't achieve what you want to do in one night. There are lots of options for 3D Design, from the Simple & Inexpensive 3d floor plan software, 'Google Sketchup' (not sure if it imports dwg, but you can get vray for it) to more expensive options. As you know none of them have the magic render button yet, and you could expect that when they do they will be expensive, but the joke is You might need to push many buttons before you achive anything.

 

you could convert the dwg in illustrator(i think)

 

If you have a larger budget why not take a look at this Parametric Building software

Though perhaps a little overkill for one room (thanks to the vray forum I found out about this today)

Sounds good, i will check out those links.

To Clarify im from Canada and working n Costa Rica.

i think there is no software like that can convert 2D dwg To 3D render...i hope will get this soon......
