Photorealistic Architectural Rendering Upgrade, Preserve Existing Design

Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I am looking for a highly skilled architectural visualization artist to take an existing AI-generated exterior rendering and bring it to a true professional photorealistic level. The current image already has the correct architecture, geometry, composition, and overall design. I do not want the house redesigned. The goal is to keep the building exactly the same, but make the image look like a real high-end architectural photograph. I will provide: 1. The current exterior image that needs to be improved 2. A reference photo showing the level of realism, material detail, lighting, and landscape quality I am looking for The final image needs to have: * Perfectly realistic stone texture with depth, variation, mortar joints, and natural imperfections * Realistic wood shutters, doors, trim, and window frames * Photorealistic glass reflections and warm interior lighting * Highly detailed roof material * Realistic stone paving with proper texture, joints, shadows, and natural wear * Fully realistic landscaping, not AI-looking plants or painterly vegetation * Natural lavender, grasses, shrubs, flowers, trees, and green roof planting * Realistic lighting, shadows, atmosphere, and sky * A final result that feels like a real professional architectural photograph The most important requirement is that the geometry and architecture must stay the same. Please do not change the massing, rooflines, window locations, door locations, courtyard, pool, green roofs, or overall composition. This is a realism and material upgrade, not a redesign. I am looking for someone who has strong attention to detail and understands architectural visualization. The current image is close, but it still looks AI-generated in the plants, paving, and material details. I need someone who can take it the final 20 percent and make everything feel believable and real. If this first image is done well, I will hire you for many more similar images. I am developing a workflow for luxury residential architectural visuals, so there is potential for ongoing work. Please include examples of your most realistic exterior architectural renderings, especially projects with stone, wood, natural landscaping, gardens, and residential architecture. Deliverables: * Final high-resolution photorealistic image * Source file if applicable * One or two revision rounds included Ideal skills: * Architectural visualization * Photoshop compositing * AI image refinement * 3D rendering experience * Landscape realism * Luxury residential rendering * Material detailing Important note: Please only apply if you can preserve the exact architecture while improving realism. I am not looking for a new design concept.
