Questions
What is the primary purpose of architectural rendering?
- To create realistic images of a proposed architectural design

- To determine the energy efficiency of a building
- To estimate the cost of construction
Which of the following is NOT a common type of architectural rendering?
- 3D rendering
- Hand-drawn rendering
- Physical model
- Computer-aided design (CAD)
What is the difference between 3D rendering and hand-drawn rendering?
- 3D rendering is created using computer software, while hand-drawn rendering is created by hand.
- 3D rendering is more realistic than hand-drawn rendering.
- 3D rendering is more expensive than hand-drawn rendering.
- All of the above
What are some of the factors that affect the quality of an architectural rendering?
- The skill of the artist
- The software used
- The resolution of the image
- The lighting conditions
- All of the above
What are some of the common uses of architectural rendering?
- To market a new development

What is the difference between a physical model and a virtual model?
- A physical model is a three-dimensional representation of a building or structure, while a virtual model is a two-dimensional representation.
- A physical model is more accurate than a virtual model.
- A physical model is more expensive than a virtual model.
- A physical model is more difficult to create than a virtual model.
What is the role of lighting in architectural rendering?
- Lighting can create a mood or atmosphere.
- Lighting can highlight certain features of a building or structure.
- Lighting can make a building or structure look more realistic.
- All of the above
What is the difference between a perspective rendering and an axonometric rendering?
- A perspective rendering shows a building or structure from a single viewpoint, while an axonometric rendering shows a building or structure from multiple viewpoints.
- A perspective rendering is more realistic than an axonometric rendering.
- An axonometric rendering is more accurate than a perspective rendering.
- None of the above
