Once the initial modeling process is completed, interesting points of view begin to suggest themselves, from positions where it will be visualized in its real environment, as well as points of view that begin to reveal weak points that still require more design or a better solution, we begin to see which elements look out of proportion, which parts look better and worse aesthetically, errors begin to be seen in ideas that seemed good in 2D but in 3D obviously require adjustment and improvement. Structural elements that are unnecessary are beginning to be seen, and different situations that vary from project to project.

To help solve the design, cameras are placed from different points of view, from the street, from afar, from behind, from above, from inside, and from any point that seems necessary. All of this is subjective and depends a lot on the aesthetic criteria and experience of the person who is doing it, and the feedback from the directing architect.

Then several images are taken from these points of view, they are printed and placed together with all the floors, sections and facades of the project, all the professionals participating in the project meet, each one gives their opinion and point of view, and decisions are made that improve details of the project, notes are taken and the floors and facades are modified if they have to be modified and this process is repeated until a certain level of detail is reached, and the next step is moved on.

There are projects where there is no room for experimentation with the shape because it was already decided before starting the model, in these cases the model is a tool to simply visualize in 3D what is already defined beforehand, but in projects where everything is not yet defined, the 3D model becomes a thinking machine, where all kinds of ideas are put to the test.

This step is where many options are analyzed, many tests are done, options are discarded, this is where the bad ideas fall under their own weight, and the good ideas prevail, are highlighted and improved, the sizes and proportions of the architectural elements that looked good on plan, but from another point of view, such as the pedestrian point of view for example, appear very small or very large, are adjusted. This process is repeated over and over again until the project looks and feels like it is already designed, to scale, well proportioned, experimenting with many materials, colors, lights, natural lighting situations, dawn, noon, dusk, night.

Many possibilities that seemed viable before starting to model are discarded, but new ideas emerge when you begin to experience the three-dimensionality of the project.

As changes are made, the architect in charge of the project updates the floors and facades, it is very important to maintain communication in both directions.

Currently there are tools that allow modeling and making technical drawings at the same time, this technology is called BIM,[5]​ which is probably the direction in which the development process of architectural projects is headed in the future, however this practice has nothing to do with this technology, since it focuses on the middle part of the preliminary project.

Once the verification process is ready, you have a blank three-dimensional model of the project that is ready to be sent out of the office, if necessary, to lighting professionals, environmental engineering, structural engineering or any other professional from another discipline who needs it to make budgets or calculations.

From here, smaller details begin to be modeled, and shapes that require more detail are solved, giving texture to the project. Smaller elements also begin to be solved. Windows, doors, columns, curtain walls, railings, stairs, critical structural connections begin to be detailed. Detail in architecture is an integral part of an ongoing design process. Just as there is no single process for designing spaces, there is no exact process for designing details either. The ability to communicate design intentions to the contractor or manufacturer is critical to the complete and efficient completion of the design process.[6]​.

Gaining a useful knowledge of materials and construction methods for structures is crucial and a necessity for the architect, engineer or builder, and can be a daunting task that must be faced and once decided, maintained. The construction field offers a wide variety of possibilities and markets change so quickly that it seems like a difficult task to master. More and more new terms are being introduced such as sustainability or sustainability, Green building stored energy, LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design), carbon footprint, environmental impact, solar radiation control. In addition to their traditional interest in structural and constructive qualities, designers must now also take into account their energy, recycling potential and renewability as a resource.[7]​ The 3D model allows experimenting with different types of construction to choose the most viable and thus begin to detail the construction systems that are going to be used, and is a powerful tool to support the materiality chosen by designers, both in the technical aspect and in the practical and aesthetic aspect.

Materials are of great importance in every work of architecture, and it is very important in the design process to explore and experience the materiality of architecture. We begin to experiment with the materiality and colors of the finishes, coatings and coatings of the architectural elements.

La iluminación global es muy importante en la representación de la atmósfera donde se va a representar la visualización del proyecto, ya sea de noche o de día. Si está calculada físicamente correcta, le dará a los arquitectos y diseñadores una idea muy cercana de cómo debe iluminarse el proyecto durante los períodos nocturnos, y cómo influirá la orientación de la estructura en la incidencia directa del sol en las fachadas, aberturas y ventanas.

Light color temperature

The color temperature of light is measured in Kelvin since William Thompson Kelvin realized that carbon emits different colors depending on its temperature. In blue light, the red and green components of the light source are minor or nonexistent. Under these circumstances, all green and red objects would appear black.

Effect of color temperature.

The color of light is very important, for example, to express the time of day. The color of morning light has a different proportion of red than that of evening light. The color of daylight also depends on the time of year and place on the planet and weather conditions.

Shade

Shadow is the absence of direct light, however an object in shadow is illuminated by global illumination that imitates light refracting in the air in all directions. Shadows play a very important role, they indicate the position and type of light source. Without shadowing, a render appears to have no spatial depth.

Depending on the type of project, we select which scenario we are going to use to generate the lighting.

Rendering is the process in which the computer interprets a 3D scene and creates a computer-generated image. Depending on the software used, these processes vary, but always seeking that the Visualization manages to represent the qualities that the architect-designer intends to communicate to the interested parties.

After rendering the interesting points of view with the selected materiality and lighting properties, the image is digitally processed to achieve an artistic appearance according to the intention to be expressed.

Once the initial modeling process is completed, interesting points of view begin to suggest themselves, from positions where it will be visualized in its real environment, as well as points of view that begin to reveal weak points that still require more design or a better solution, we begin to see which elements look out of proportion, which parts look better and worse aesthetically, errors begin to be seen in ideas that seemed good in 2D but in 3D obviously require adjustment and improvement.
