Lighting
Scene illumination must be approached analytically, but that the artist must also know where rules and theories can be broken or exaggerated to add flourish and interest. IES Lighting 6 Lighting Tips Types of lights

Modeling
Polygonal modeling - Polygonal modeling is a method of creating a 3D model by connecting line segments through points in a 3D space. These points in space are also known as vertices. Polygonal models are very flexible and can be rendered by a computer very quickly. One cannot create an exact curved surface using polygonal 3D modeling technique.

Primitive modeling - Using geometric primitives such as cylinders, cones, cubes and spheres, complex models are created. This approach ensures easy construction as the forms are mathematically defined and precise.

NURBS modeling - NURBS (Non-uniform rational Bspline). The developer can create smooth-surfaced 3D models using this modeling technique. NURBs modeling can truly create smooth curved surfaces.

Textures
Main Objective:
build suitable documentation of cultural heritage objects and serves as a tool to make info easily accessible for documentation/research for interested persons to investigate object without going to the site.

Types of Texturing:

Texture Mapping: a two-dimensional image file that can be applied to the surface of a 3D model to add color, texture, or other surface detail Color(Diffuse) Maps: to add color or texture to the surface of a model as simple as applying a wood grain texture to a table surface

Texture Types:

Specular Map: tells the software which parts of a model should be shiny or glossy and the magnitude of glossiness. (typically grayscale image) example: highlights, like the white reflection on rim of your coffee mug/white reflection in pupil Bump, Displacement, or Normal Map: gives a more realistic indication of bumps or depressions on the surface of a model example: brick wall is more accurately recreated with coarse, grainy surface of brick, and heighten the illusion (achieving photo-realism )

Texture Types:

Reflection Map: tells the software which portions of the 3D model should be reflective. Transparency Map: like a reflection map, tells software which portions of the model should be transparent. example: chain link fence, using a transparency, instead of modeling the links individually.

Rendering

Rendering is the final process that compiles the lighting, textures, models, animations and effects into a single image, video or interactive environment Can be used to composite multiple files

Rendering programs place a high priority on realistic lighting and reduction of memory usage http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08 7-FdCyUwg

Post-Production
Post-production might well be the most underappreciated part of creating 3D visualizations.

This images look great but to a 3D specialist, it looks fake.

Everything is completely balanced, you can see every little detail in the shadows.

DEGRADED PHOTOREALISM
Degrading images in post making your image look more like a photo taken by a 'bad' camera instead of a 3D render.

Animation
Having secondary animation throughout the visualization gives a realistic feel to the virtual environment
