Case Studies
Anyone who needs to make a graphical representation of something in 2D or 3D could benefit from Piranesi's powerful artistic capabilities. Currently, the majority of our users are architects and architectural illustrators. But, as you’ll see if you view our user blog, you can add to this group lots of other creative professionals: landscape gardeners, exhibition stand designers, product designers, storyboarders, even home users who simply want to produce an artists impression of their new extension or conservatory for a planning application.
All these people share a basic need: to bring their idea to life; to translate a mental picture into one that powerfully demonstrates the essence of their proposal.
