high quality 3d renderings

[Rusty]

Hi I wanted to know the best way to produce high qaulity 3d images. I have HD 2012 and it seems to me that I remember a sales pitch when I purchased this software that it will produce very high quality renderings. I was only in need of a lot RAM. I have seen a few renderings with good shadows etc. Please help if you can,
thanks

In order to address your question with certainty, I need to know what you consider to be "High Quality 3-D Renderings". Ample samples of what can be done with Architectural can be seen in the Users Gallery at the Home Talk website. such produce comes from a fine, studied understanding of the camera tools and related material and lighting settings available, study and practice along those lines will get you the results that Architectural is capable of.

Only Chief Architect Premiere and Interior can do high quality 3D renderings (ray traced). The other versions only do low quality 3D (roughly video game quality).
