Piranesi is a specialized '3D painting' tool, allowing you to start with a simple rendering of a 3D model, and quickly develop it into high quality  images ready for client presentations. You can use Piranesi to quickly develop photorealistic images, by painting in textures and scenery with automatic perspective and masking; or you can Piranesi's wealth of effects to generate non-photorealistic images that have a more subtle, hand-rendered feel and focus the client's mind of what is important in the design. You can even use Piranesi with a 2D plan or elevation image, or to generate Panoramas!

@Last Software's development of SketchUp has been driven by the growing need among design professionals for a more intuitive and accessible 3D design tool.

Anyone who loves sketching by hand but finds using CAD cumbersome or frustrating will appreciate SketchUp's unique approach: Instead of requiring users to learn a vast, complicated set of commands SketchUp combines a compact yet robust tool-set with an intelligent guidance system that streamlines the 3D drawing process. The result is an interface that supports a dynamic, creative exploration of 3D form, material and light without requiring large investments in training and support.

Artlantis R is a unique and ideal tool for performing very high resolution rendering easily and in real time. The new FastRadiosity™ engine now lets you compute images in radiosity -- even in preview. Another innovative feature of Artlantis R is that 3D objects and vegetation can be used directly in the preview window by simply dragging and dropping them. This enables users to work on different scenarios quickly and to simulate true virtual scenes in a real environment.
