Great design and visual effect! Congrats! May I ask how you did it?

I apologize for the late comment, just now saw this, to respond:

Revit and Photoshop.  All materials are custom made from high quality JPEG files - no Revit stock materials.  Also, I think I used a free program called FotoSketcher to get the slight water colored / brush effect (brought this in as a layer in Photoshop and turned the layer opacity way down).  This type of rendering work is really like digital collaging.

In Revit, I export out a line layer (hidden line view mode) as well as a realistic layer (realistic view mode).  I do this by exporting a JPEG set to 100% size, JPEG Loseless and 600 dpi.  Then I also cloud render with A360 -- I set the render setttings in Revit to be Interior with artificial and sunlight activated.  Once the rendering is complete I open the "lines layers", "realistic layer" and "render layer" in Photoshop.  Once in photoshop I combine these layers, I find it helps balance out the odd render appearance that can sometimes result from rendering as opposed to trying to tweak the rendering settings endlessly until the desired result is achieved.

Revitcity is not letting me post more comments describing the process for this rendering, if you see this and are interested, reply and I can let you know the rest of the process.
