I don't read any architecture forums (maybe i should) so I'm asking this here.
What types of applications do they use to build and render models like this?

cad i'm guessing.

autocad, lightscape, 3dsmax

could as well be 2 different applications. one archi-cad package for the modeling & physics/statics/etc., then another 3d software (like 3dsmax/maya/etc) for rendering of beauty shots. i think architects/developers would outsource the production of renderings for marketing nowadays.
why do you ask?

Google SketchUp is 3D for everyone
Google SketchUp is software that you can use to create, modify and share 3D models. It's easier to learn than other 3D modeling programs, which is why so many people are already using it.

My first guess was cad. But I messed around with Revit ( http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/ser… ) and couldn't really get the same effect.
I'm asking because I'd like to play around with some stuff and get some drawings of a house I have into a digital 3d redering.

Usually the wireframes are exported from autoCAD into lightscape or similar and then light, textured, etc. Final touchups in Photoshop if they're just stills.

i guess it´s a good ressource for getting into the topic. they cover the most common 3d suites and renderers, as well as the different disciplines (modeling/texturing/lighting/ren...

That's my dad's site. Do you have any firms in mind? I can tell you what program most of the major firms use... in general, the architects mark everything up in AutoCAD and export for Sketchup which replaced MacPerspective a couple years ago as the gold standard for hand-renderers wanting wireframe guides.

That's an export from AutoCad to QT, i'm guessing.

This is THE software right here:

Wow, that's pretty dang cool. I avoided this thread all night 'cause I don't know much about architecture, but that's some great stuff.

cad.. or im actually working on a project where I have to vector the floor plans in Illustrator.
but that image is totally cad.
I used to build model houses when I was a kid from blue prints.. but all my drawn houses turned out to look lopsided.
So never hire me to draw your house.

very good program and user friendly

I usually model in cad and then render in 3D Studio. There is a great rendering plug in for 3D Studio called v-ray, I highly recommend it.

Awesome, thanks for all of the response. I have a lot of 'checking out' to do
