An architectural render showing different rendering styles in Blender, including a photorealistic style using Cycles Lunar Crater Radio Telescope conceptual design with the Moon and Earth rendered in Blender. Blender includes three render engines since version 2.80: EEVEE, Workbench and Cycles. Cycles is a path tracing render engine.
Its primary use is for modeling, but it also features photo-realistic rendering and object-centric animation support. form•Z is used in architecture, interior design, illustration, product design, and set design. It supports plug-ins and scripts, has import/export capabilities and was first released in 1991.
Materials and textures are properties that the render engine uses to render the model. One can give the model materials to tell the render engine how to treat light when it hits the surface. Textures are used to give the material color using a color or albedo map, or give the surface features using a bump map or normal map.
This page provides a list of 3D rendering software, the dedicated engines used for rendering computer-generated imagery. This is not the same as 3D modeling software , which involves the creation of 3D models, for which the software listed below can produce realistically rendered visualisations.

An image rendered using POV-Ray 3.6 An architectural visualization rendered in multiple styles using Blender. Rendering is the process of generating a photorealistic or non-photorealistic image from input data such as 3D models.
The architecture industry uses 3D models to demonstrate proposed buildings and landscapes in lieu of traditional, physical architectural models. Additionally, the use of Level of Detail (LOD) in 3D models is becoming increasingly important in the AEC industry. LOD is a measure of the level of detail and accuracy included in a 3D model.
The architecture was designed with a number of goals in mind: Model complexity/diversity: In order to generate visually complex and rich images, users of a rendering system need to be free to model large numbers (100,000s) of complex geometric structures possibly generated using procedural models such as fractals and particle systems.
