Over the last several years, we have noticed a trend in client presentations. They are moving away from photorealistic rendering to a softer, more hand-drawn style. This is true for both 2D and 3D renderings, as well as for plan presentations. We know your clients like the hand-rendered look, and it really sells your design.

So, in the VectorWorks 11.x product line, we introduced a number of 2D and 3D non-photorealistic rendering tools to make creating this presentation style a breeze. In fact, you can create drawings and renderings that look like they've been hand sketched, not computer generated—in just one click.

We know what these artistic rendering and sketch rendering tools can do. And we'd like to see what they can do for you.

So put VectorWorks' presentation capabilities to the test—enter the VectorWorks International Artistic and Sketch Rendering Design Competition today.
