Abstract

The Non-Photorealistic Rendering procedure (NPR) is a graphical technique based on the digital reproduction of painting’s effects (pencil, watercolor, engraving, etc.), starting from a raster image. In this paper two NPR software packages will be examined in order to establish how artistic-looking images can improve the architectural design workflow. Informatix Piranesi and Autodesk Impression are dedicated illustration tools used in renderings production from 3D CAD models or from plain 2D drawings in dwg or dwf format.
