A client spotted these renders (screenshots attached) on a website (credit to cleverhomes.net/site.html) and asked if I could produce the same style for him.

I'm curious whether Piranesi can do the job? Thus far I've been learning Piranesi's great non-photo-realistic render capacities -- but this style here looks like a hybrid between photo-realistic and NPR.

After importing the model as an EPix, what would be the step-by-step process to create this polyeurothane glossy look?

(And would Vedute be usefull towards creating the window transparencies by isolating all transparent glazing before rendering the Epix, and then importing the glazing with reduced opacity?)

It looks to me as though these renders were created with a radiosity engine. I'm afraid that you can't create this type of image with a combination of Vedute and Piranesi. You will need to create an EPix file with a Radiosity engine in the first place.

Omitting the transparent glass from the epix file in Vedute and then creating cutouts of the glass to read into Piranesi would be the way to go to handle the transparency

Hi, Percy

If the site permits me, then I can suggest one of the software which gives this kind of rendering, and it’s not a tough n time consuming like 3DS max.

Brian, thanks for your reply.

Nutan IG, please advise. Since Piranesi doesn't do this style, I wouldn't think they'd mind a couple alternative recommendations posted in their forum. I'm guessing you're going to say "Artlantis." My modeling software, ArchiCAD, has a built-in LightWorks engine that should create the radiosity effects, but I've found it extremely tedious to adjust the Lightworks settings. Artlantis appears far more intuitive and friendly -- I just haven't wanted to spend the money yet.

Hi Precy,

No its not what you mentioned. Its called as InteriCAD (6000), their site http://www.yfcad.com. Its basic with Auto-CAD. Hope it will give you what u r looking for. (But unfortunately they don't provide trial version)
