Techniques for Making 3D Architecture
Users building 3D models typically base new models on existing ones. This approach may extend as far as making a template of an existing model, then introducing changes to conform the model to the project at hand. For example, someone designing a French Gothic cathedral may load a cathedral model from the earlier Romanesque period into her CAD software. She'll then increase the model's height and replace the circular arches with pointed ones to convert the model to the later Gothic style.
Usage of Architectural Models
Pro and amateur architects build virtual houses, design cars and recreate ancient Greek temples with 3D architecture. Some model creators won't turn their models into physical structures, but instead make artwork from them-3d rendering, architectural rendering, architectural visualization, even architectural animation. Some of the most visible examples of this application of 3D models are the virtual buildings and other large-scale structures seen in movies. The movie "Titanic" (1997), in addition to its physical scale models, used virtual models of the doomed ship. Films with fantasy themes, like "Clash of the Titans" (2010), also make extensive use of architectural models.
Software for Making Architectural Models
The programs used to create 3D architecture are often referred to as computer-aided design (CAD) programs. The earliest instances of such programs for the PC were released in the early 1980s, and had virtually none of the features needed to create today's models. But technology and user demand have decisively changed that. The architectural algorithms that people paid thousands for in the early 2000s are now standard in open-source (free) programs such as Blender.

Techniques of Rendering
Here rendering in Vue Infinite will be discussed. As we all know, 3d animation and 3d rendering are more and more common and being used by movie studios, television networks and video game manufacturers to create either full animation or a mixture of animation and live action.
To get a quick idea of how things are going before you proceed, you can do a quick preview render in Vue, right-click on the render settings icon. In the dialog that opens make sure that "Preview" and "Render to View" are both selected. Then click "Render." Vue will quickly render out an good approximation of the final image. It won't have the kind of sharpness and quality that the final render will, so don't bother saving it.
When you create animation or rendering-architectural rendering, you want to set the program to it's better quality settings. In Vue you would click on "Render Settings" and change the quality setting from "Preview" to "Final." By selecting "Render to Screen" you can select the size of the final render. You can also select exactly what will be rendered by choosing from the options "Render Everything," "Render Visible" or "Render Selected." You might use this option if you have a large or complex render that you want to do separately and then composite together in another program.
Now to save render. It's better to save the rendered output directly to a file. To do this in Vue click on the "Render Options" and change the render from "Render to Screen" to Render to File." Then browse to the location you want to save to, name the file and click "OK." make the other settings what you want them to be, and click "Render."
