How do you produce a picture like this? Is this a rendering or an actual picture with photoshop? Appreciate the guidance!

You take a real photo using a drone or aerial shot. It has to be taken at a very specific height to get the perspective right. Chances are the sky was just replaced via photoshop. The building in the foreground is a rendering.\n\nThe rendering process is quite tedious- the renderer and developer/marketer will probably go back and forth at least 3 rounds to decide all the little things like the precise angle and where the furniture goes in the shot. People are usually not put in these renderings due to anti-discrimination laws in real estate advertising.\n\nExtra detail: Combining the photo and rendering can be done in any order- if the rendering comes first, the photo has to be taken at a very specific time of day and spot in the air to match the lighting and perspective. If the photo comes first, the rendering lighting has to be adjusted to match the photo.", "replies": [{"id": "fv552n2", "text": "Thank you for your answer.
