Improperly executing ideas<\/h2>\n<p>Given the magnitude of rendering styles, techniques and features, it&#8217;s easy to fall into the trap of inappropriately integrating certain elements along with incorrectly executing them. Rendering expert <a href=\"https:\/\/visualizingarchitecture.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Hogrefe<\/a> expands on this pitfall: \u201cMost of the mistakes I see are due to certain ideas not being implemented correctly.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are so many styles in visualization and they all have their place; in fact they can be really compelling if done well. Where things start to fall apart is when certain styles or trends get mixed together, or artists do not know how to correctly execute them. For example, placing the sun directly behind the camera tends to lead towards a flat looking image. However, as tough as this type of image is to pull off, I have seen some really amazing illustrations that use this technique.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Stay tuned: Sign up for updates about how you can
