Digital Tutors - Generating Architectural Visualization Concepts in Rhino

Throughout these lessons we'll demonstrate a basic architectural visualization workflow to convert 2D plans into a 3D model using Rhino 5. We'll then produce effective rendered images using the Flamingo nXt rendering plug-in and post render our work using Photoshop CS6.
