Subreddit guides combine public Reddit source URLs, captured rules, visible verification dates, and Rankhog's account-safety workflow.

Rule summary

  • 🔥 No low effort post or questions: Do not post an image, work, or ask help without context. If you have doubts - please look first at the posting guide to avoid your post being removed
  • Self promotion: Don't post or comment trying to sell courses, assets or your own social media. Tutorials are allowed but still require to have context in the post (view guide "before posting")
  • No promotion of piracy: No piracy, promotion or related.
  • Be Nice: Should be self explanatory, but be polite in any discussion; Being giving feedback, opinion, comments, post.
  • Credit Author: When posting an image, a photography, an architectural design (real or conceptual), when posting video, render, or whatever content; Either IT HAS TO BE YOURS, or you have to credit the author/studio. Posing content as your own is a permanent ban

Works well

  • Sharing your own render with a short breakdown of the software, lighting setup, and choices you made.
  • Asking for specific feedback on a work in progress, with context about the project and what you want critiqued.
  • Posting a tutorial that teaches a real technique, with context in the post about what it covers and who it helps.
  • Answering other people's questions about rendering workflows in detail, with no link attached.
  • Starting a discussion about industry topics, like pricing, client work, or tools, where you contribute before you promote anything.

Avoid

  • Posting an image, render, or question with no context, which breaks “🔥 No low effort post or questions”.
  • Dropping a link to your course, asset pack, or social channel without a real discussion around it, which breaks “Self promotion”.
  • Posting a tutorial that is really a sales funnel with no context in the post.
  • Sharing or recommending pirated software, plugins, or assets, which breaks “No promotion of piracy”.
  • Being rude or dismissive when giving feedback or answering questions, which breaks “Be Nice”.
  • Posting someone else's render, photo, or design without crediting the author or studio, which breaks “Credit Author” and can get you permanently banned.

What r/archviz Is For

This is a subreddit for discussing the architectural visualisation industry. The people here work in or around archviz, so they make renders, stills, animations, and visual content for architecture. The rules tell you a lot about what flows through the feed. People post images, renders, videos, photography, and architectural designs, both real and conceptual. People also ask for help and give feedback on each other's work. The community cares about craft and context, and the rules exist to keep the feed useful for working professionals rather than a billboard.

Rules That Matter Before Posting

Four rules decide whether a marketing-adjacent post survives here. “🔥 No low effort post or questions” means you cannot drop an image or a question without context, so a bare render or a one-line ask gets removed. “Self promotion” says do not post or comment trying to sell courses, assets, or your own social media, but tutorials are allowed if the post itself has context. “Be Nice” covers how you talk to people in feedback and comments, so politeness is a rule, not a suggestion. “Credit Author” is the strictest one, because if the image, render, or design you post is not yours, you must credit the author or studio, and posing content as your own is a permanent ban. “No promotion of piracy” matters too if you ever mention software or assets, since promoting piracy is not allowed.

What To Post

A good post here has context baked in. If you share an image or a render, explain what it is, how you made it, and what you want feedback on, and only post work that is yours or clearly credited. If you ask for help, describe what you are working on and where you are stuck, because a one-line question gets removed under “🔥 No low effort post or questions”. If you want to share a tutorial, you can, but the post itself needs context, like what technique it teaches and why it matters to an archviz workflow. As a founder, the respectful path is to join discussions, give genuinely useful feedback on other people's renders, and only mention your product when it naturally fits a conversation and the rules allow it.

What To Avoid

The fastest way to get removed is posting without context, so never drop an image, a render, or a question with nothing around it. Do not post or comment trying to sell courses, assets, or your own social media, because that breaks “Self promotion”. Even tutorials, which are allowed, still need context in the post itself. Never promote or link piracy in any form. Do not post content that is not yours without crediting the author or studio, and never pose someone else's work as your own, because that is a permanent ban. Finally, stay polite in every discussion, including when you give feedback or disagree with someone.

Common questions about r/archviz

Can I post a tutorial for my tool or course?

Yes, but only if it is a genuine tutorial and your post gives context, like what technique you are showing and why it matters to the community.

Can I share my own renders if I sell a service?

Yes, if you are a member sharing your own work with context, and you keep the comments about the craft rather than the sale.

Can I answer questions and mention my product in comments?

Yes, as long as you give real feedback and answer questions. Only selling in your posts or comments breaks “Self promotion”.

What happens if I post someone else's work without credit?

No. The rules say posting content as your own when it is not is a permanent ban.

What should I include when I post an image?

Add context about what you are showing, what help you need, and credit the author if the work is not yours.
